Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is delighted with the character of his current squad.
Mourinho, a league champion in Portugal, Italy and Spain as well as England, admitted that there are many characteristics his current squad share with his previous title-winning sides.
"I was champion in different countries, with different clubs. And there are points which are always present," Mourinho said.
"I had it in Inter, Porto and Madrid and I have it here. I had it here in my first spell and I have it now, and this is something that I always have, people who are willing to sacrifice for the team, people who are willing to push, push to help, so I am so pleased with that."
