I wish I could swap places with Manchester City – Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, has admitted that
if he would have swapped places with Manchester
City in the Premier League, if it was possible.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men are in control of their
destiny and although Chelsea lead them by six
points, they have two outstanding games and
possess a greater goal difference to the Blues.
City are looking to clinch an unprecedented
Quadruple, after producing a stunning comeback to
beat Sunderland in the Capital One Cup final on
Sunday.
“I prefer to have the destiny in my hands, and only
City have destiny in their hands,” Mourinho said. “If I
win every game until the end of the season, all 10 —
which we won’t — maybe we are not champions.
“If they [City] win all 12 games they have, they are
champions. They have their destiny in their hands.”
Mourinho also explained why he decided to leave
Samuel Eto’o out of the Chelsea squad, for the trip
to Fulham on Saturday. He explained that the
decision was tactical and not linked to his
comments about the Cameroonian striker, which
was leaked by Canal+.
“There’s nothing wrong with Samuel. I just felt in
this kind of match — away from home, against
normally defensive teams, aggressive defenders — I
thought to go with Fernando [Torres] and, if I need
to risk in the last part of the game I’d use Demba
[Ba],” Mourinho continued.
“You see, Eto’o scores goals but at home. He scores
in the league, in the Champions League but all of
them at home. Playing away is more difficult for
him.
“I think he is our best striker to play at home
because of his technique, his movement and his
understanding with Eden [Hazard] and Oscar. For
me, he is best to play at home. Away he is showing
some difficulties.”
