Thousands
of Chelsea fans turning out in west London to celebrate winning the
Premier League title on Monday were told to prepare for more success
next season by manager Jose Mourinho.
Addressing the
supporters, Mourinho said: "Thank you for everything, for all your
support. Book another place for the parade next season. I hope we can
give you that."
Chelsea last won the title in 2010 under Carlo
Ancelotti. In Mourinho's previous period in charge they were champions
for two years running, in 2005 and 2006.
But he warned it would
be harder to retain the title this time, telling Chelsea TV: "We have
to be better if we want to be successful again. The other opponents are
not going to accept this without a fight.
"Next year will be
more difficult, but because it's difficult is one of the reasons why I
came back to England. I will enjoy it again."
Owner Roman Abramovich took part in the parade.
Among the players and staff enjoying the occasion on three special
buses were goalkeeper Petr Cech and striker Didier Drogba, who have been
part of all four title successes. -TOI
