Whilst all the media and bookies and predicting an easy enough Chelsea win, Mourinho recognises not just that it will be a tough game but also the amazing job he believes that Garry Monk is doing in his first managerial role.<\/p>\n
Chelsea’s pre-season has been anything but spectacular as they build their preparation for the new season and they themselves are being written off by several experts – something that the Swans know only too well.<\/p>\n
The game has been selected for live TV coverage which will be sparked by the fact that Sky always like to open with the Champions and also with a consideration that the Swans caused the biggest upset on the opening day of last term with a win at Old Trafford completely against the odds.<\/p>\n
So it should really be no wonder that Jose is just a little more cautious when he is looking forward to Saturday’s game<\/p>\n
“It’s a difficult kick-off to the season for us,” Mourinho said.<\/p>\n
“Garry’s doing very well and the club is doing magnificently<\/p>\n
“He’s got a good team already but he’s improved the team. <\/p>\n
“It’s a very good team and he’s a very good young manager at a club that I admire a lot.<\/p>\n
“I left the Premier League [in 2007] with Swansea in the Championship,” Mourinho said <\/p>\n
“I came back to England a few years later with Swansea not only in the Premier League but a stable and strong club in the Premier League.” <\/p>\n
