Chelsea boss Mourinho: Unpredictable Premier League the envy of Europe

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says the unpredictable Premier League is the envy of Europe.

Mourinho assessed the strength of England's domestic league now compared to his first spell in charge, before giving his verdict on whether a title triumph in 2013/14 would rank higher than the one his Chelsea team managed in 2004/05.

"The competition is different now, the teams are different now. Before there were just three teams fighting for the title, now there are six," he said.

"Nobody knows what can happen. Maybe the difference will be whether teams are in or out of Europe. Maybe the difference will be a couple of points.

"It will be good fun. We have the competition that every country in Europe wants to have, but nobody has. We have a fantastic league and we should enjoy it.

"To win the title this season would be more impressive than winning it in 2005,' Mourinho judged. 'History plays a role. To win when the club is not historically a winner is a hard step to take, so to win the first time was hard, but to win the title this season would be a bigger achievement."
