  5. 'I am a very proud manager'

    FT: Chelsea 5-0 Reading

    I always think about winning the league, that is the bread and butter. It shows you are consistent as champions. To be in a position to win the quadruple, I am lucky to have these players. The winning just breeds around the whole place. I see it in my young players too. I am a very proud manager today, as always.

    FT: Chelsea 5-0 Reading

    It is a collaborative effort at Chelsea to get us here. We have cultivated something. We have a culture here to be the best - there is no complacency.

  7. 'My son will love this medal'

    FT: Chelsea 5-0 Reading

    To win the league outright silences anyone from the points-per-game from last season. My son will love this medal and will wear it all day tomorrow. This is the best squad and the best title in my time here, because of the threats and the opposition. I always felt we were leading the league, and that shows our dominance this year.
