Last year's champion fell. The British Isles have a new strongest club of the season and, hardly surprisingly to many, it became a few years ago one of the teams not even dreaming about such heights - London and, first of all, its coach - the charismatic, self-confident Jose Mourinho. Although London's team still has to play three more matches until the end of the season, their 14-point lead over last year's champion guarantees the first title in 50 years of failures. Even with enviable calmness and even a kind of nonchalance emanating from him, Jose Mourinho sincerely rejoiced at the victory and praised all the team players and fans. "Our team is special," said the Portuguese. "Nobody can say we didn't deserve it. We were just amazing - both the players and the fans. I want to stay in the Chelsea club as long as I can. My heart is with this club." Chelsea secured the title after the weekend victory against Bolton. After the final whistle, flooding onto the pitch and dancing the victory dance, the players and coaches of the London club spared no kind words for each other. "The players deserved this more than anyone else, but I am also very happy for the fans, especially for those who have never had the opportunity to celebrate such a victory before. "Becoming champions was not easy. It was determined by mentality, ambition, and the desire to win. People from many different places gathered here. We met for the first time in July, and in that time, we created something special." "When we have to fight - we fight, when we have to play - we play, when we have to suffer - we suffer, but we do everything together." The coach also praised the team's owner, the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who did not hesitate to spend over 200 million pounds on new players, saying that he also deserves the title.
