Jose Mourinho was the subject of praise from Chelsea's Gary Cahill on Sunday.

The Blues defender revealed just how methodical the Portuguese tactician was in his approach to leading the west London club to the Premier League title this season.

"He's not ashamed or afraid to adapt to every single team that we play, he's so in-depth in terms of the training and the preparation we do for each and every game, it's all different," Cahill told Sky Sports after Chelsea beat Sunderland 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.

"He said in the first year that we weren't quite ready (to win the league) and it the second year we were and obviously he's stuck to his word and done that."
