Mourinho hints post-season Japan tour for Chelsea

Chelsea could take the squad to Japan for a post-season tour.

Jose Mourinho didn't rule out a potential 12,000-mile round trip to Japan, home of new sponsors Yokohama Rubber.

Mourinho said: "I think we'll go on an after-season tour to play a couple of matches in some destination where people will be very enthusiastic to have the Premier League champions, if we win it.

"It's something we are thinking about, a good way to celebrate. Not a victory parade, but a trip, a week where we play a couple of matches but, at the same time, can be together without the pressure of winning every match, without the pressure and tension of the last weeks of the Premier League.

"We can also relax and go to holidays with that good feeling. But we still have nine matches to play.

"Mr Bruce Buck and the board are talking with me. We want to go somewhere where people are enthusiastic to have a club like Chelsea.

"Japan? I don't know but that would make some sense."
