Champions focus for Jose

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that winning the Champions League with the Blues has become his main priority.
Mourinho won Europe's premier club trophy during his time in charge of FC Porto, but has so far fallen at the semi-final stage twice in his three seasons at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese admitted: "Winning is a habit, winning is culture, winning has a lot of mental preparation and I am very happy with it here.
"I just feel the last step is to take this feeling, or this little bit of luck to European competition. Chelsea played three Champions League semi-finals in the last four years, which is fantastic, but couldn't play one single final.
"This club wants more and we want more. I won it before but the past is past, I want to do it with Chelsea. The players, they want to do it, but we have to do it without being obsessed because being obsessed doesn't help.
"We have to understand the game. Understanding the game is two or three minutes to go, we score against Manchester United and win the FA Cup.
"Against Liverpool we couldn't score two penalties in three shots and details make the difference.
"We cannot be obsessed. We must just keep doing our work and keep trying to improve."
