Yes we are title contenders
Despite his cautious approach to last year's expectations, Mourinho continued to express his delight at how the team performed in-spite of his modest expectations.
"Last season we were not feeling like title contenders, but we finished the league very close to the title. We weren’t feeling like the favourites for the champion’s league and we played a semi-final - we did well."
Mourinho continued to say that although he believes his side can challenge - he will not say 'we WILL win the Premier League.'
"If you expect me to say ARE we going to win it, I can’t say that because I have to respect this competition."
