tribalfooball.com - February 20, 2007
Claude Makelele says Jose Mourinho's problems at Chelsea have not
affected the players.
Mourinho has always made great play of how important it is to take
the heat himself.
And Makelele said: "We know that Jose Mourinho had big pressure
from the club.
"But he was tremendous because he didn't show anything to us - he
was always the same.
"He took the pressure only on himself because he didn't want the
players to be disturbed by the situation.
"We had to settle in to the new style of play with Michael Ballack
and Andriy Shevchenko.
"It was difficult for the two to play in a team that was working
very well before they arrived.
"But now I am confident that everything is fine.
"I hope to win the Champions League and the
Premiership."
