Having played Celtic on Saturday, Chelsea's next challenge will come from Italian giants Roma. Despite Roma suffering from financial trouble of late, they still remain one of Serie A's best sides.

And Mourinho said "They will give us a completely different football, a completely different culture, and this is good for us.

"This is what I used to do at Porto in pre-season. I'd look to play a Spanish team, a German team, English, Italians. It's always good to play with different schools because we have to play in different ways.

"Some of our players are still not in the best condition yet, there is room for improvement and we will work on that."

Like him or hate him, no one can deny that Jose talks a good game!
