Jose Mourinho says he is “unmoved” after his Inter side drew Chelsea in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. Mourinho had a successful stint as manager at Chelsea before leaving Stamford Bridge and landing in Milan to coach Inter Milan.
With Mourinho leaving Chelsea on a low note after continuous issues with owner Roman Abramovich, many had expected the Portuguese tactician to be eagerly anticipating a chance to get one back at his former employers.
However, Mourinho said he is “unmoved” at the news that he will face Chelsea.
“I don’t have much to say,” said the Portuguese coach, who led the London side to the 2005 and 2006 Premier League titles.
“There are more than two months to go and we have many matches to pay before.
“All the things that you can say are no different. It’s the same story as always. (They are) an important opponent, a difficult opponent, an opponent we know.
“Two matches that are expected to be evenly balanced, a tie that is expected to go all the way. Nothing special. OK, they are my former team, my former players, my former fans and my former
stadium.
“It’s all ‘former’. As a professional, I look at the game no differently than I would against Manchester United, Arsenal or another team”, concluded Mourinho.
