Bullish Mourinho 'very, very confident'
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insisted he believes his team will progress after his side's home draw against Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
The result means that Liverpool will have to beat Chelsea in the second leg at Anfield on Tuesday - if the Blues manage a crucial away goal.
He explained: 'I'm happy with the result. "0-0 is not the result we fought for, we tried to win the game and created enough chances to win it." "We had chances - more than I thought we would get before the game. Before I was thinking it would be more difficult to create chances." "But in a Champions League tie 0-0 at home is a good result. The result leaves me very, very, very confident we will get to the final." "We will score goals in Liverpool and they will have to play a different way." "99.9% of Liverpool fans will be thinking at the moment they have one foot in the final - but they aren't. It is very difficult for them." "Rafael Benitez is a great manager but I think we are in a very good position." The Portuguese added: 'It was not an outstanding game, it was a good game with fair play and the teams fighting for their objectives, trying to win. "It's a game everyone participating in it can be quite proud of - but I go home very confident." "I expect us to win and I'm confident we can score goals if we don't lose more players because our situation isn't good with injuries - but I think we will go to the final."
