Despite having collected only four wins in 15 league games, the Portuguese coach insists his time can qualify for next year’s Champions League.

Jose Mourinho is confident Chelsea can recover from their disastrous start to the season and achieve a top four finish in the Premier League.

Mourinho’s men have a mountain to climb if they are to qualify for the Champions League next season, as they currently sit 14 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United and a furthre three behind current leaders Leicester City, whom they play on Monday.

But the Portuguese coach says his side are refusing to give up on a spot in the top four until it is mathematically impossible.
“It’s not easy any more for the top clubs to win three or four in a row,” he said.

“Because no one is doing that, we have the chance to shorten the lead and dream of a great finish to finish fourth. While it is mathematical possible, we will try.”

The 52-year-old also praised the Chelsea fans who have stuck with him through their rough patch.

“The fans are being absolutely incredible with us. I don’t even know how to react to how nice they are,” Mourinho said.

“When they sing my name, I am a little embarrassed.

“When you are champion, when you are winning matches you show your emotion.

“I know for sure Chelsea fans don’t have a memory problem. If they did, they don’t treat me like this.
