A reporter queried, in somewhat rambling fashion, whether what happened to Arsenal last season — the collapse after losing to Manchester United — could occur at his club. “No,” he said, emphatically. After a comical pause, he was asked if his side would bounce back. “We already bounced from Betis, same result but a big, big, big difference. Against Betis I was really upset with a defeat,” said the Chelsea manager. “You lose against Betis and you don't want to be with your players. You lose today and you want to be with them, appreciate them. “For me it’s not a problem. I’m disappointed that we lost the game but not worried. Today we showed why we are champions and why we are top of the league. They are calm and confident. We did enough to get a different result.” Although he praised United’s stoicism the Chelsea boss felt that there was an element of luck about Darren Fletcher’s headed winner. “I believe he don’t want to score,” he suggested, “he just wanted to put the ball in the central area.” The goal set up a grandstand second half with Ferguson’s men under siege as Chelsea — notably Asier Del Horno, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba — either squandered great openings or found themselves denied by last-ditch blocks and saves. Jose’s three substitutions, ending in a 3-4-1-2 formation, told their own story. “I’m always positive,” he said. “I believe until the end of the game, especially when your team is the best at the moment. I think in the second half we were by far the best team, we had the game, we played well, we had possession,. We change things and progressively [became more attacking]. I think we didn’t deserve to lose the game but it was a fair game with a good referee. It was a game with aggressive but correct and fair players, so we don’t feel bad that we lose.” There was no increase in the pressure on him, he warned. “Seven points difference and they [United] have to win one more game. They are under pressure. If you ask them, they would want to change position with us.” by Rick Glanvill -- " If I quit now, they win. " － Dana Scully in 'Fight the Future' --
