Chelsea manager Mourinho dismisses title talk

The Blues put in a brilliant display away
from home to stop their free-scoring
opponents and move themselves level
with them on points, although they
remain third on goal difference.
And even though the victory means
they’re just two points behind table
toppers Arsenal , the Portuguese boss has
insisted they’re not in the title race this
season.
He told Sky Sports: "It's not our
responsibility or objective to do that [win
the league]. Our objective is to build the
team.
"I want to start the next pre-season in
the summer and say this season we are
going to win the league. This season I
can't.
"We are not top guns. We are a team who
is evolving."
However, despite his reluctance to lay
claim to the league title this season,
Mourinho thinks the result against City
gives him plenty to be positive about.
"We played fantastic. Against a fantastic
team, to play the way we did is amazing,"
he added.
"The process of building the team and
preparing the team to be favourites as we
want to be the favourites next season,
this is a very important step.
"The best team in the Premier League -
we have beaten them twice in the Premier
League.
"It's very important because it's not good
for the evolution of the team if we are
playing 10 or 15 points behind or in the
Europa League . We need big things and
these kind of matches and the pressure
we had today.
"The feeling of playing the way they
played is a fantastic feeling for them."
