http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=379705 Mourinho on title timetable Sunday, Apr 16, 2006 Last season, Chelsea secured the Premiership title with three league games still to play. On Monday afternoon comes the possibility of winning this season’s title with three games to go. (去年提前三場封冠，今晚也有可能。) To achieve that the team must record a better result against Everton than Man United manage against Spurs. If they draw, we must win; if they lose, one point will be sufficient and Chelsea will become only the third club to record back-to-back championships since the 1950s. If Chelsea are champions by Monday evening, it will be ahead of his original schedule according to Jose Mourinho. (若星期一晚上封冠，這將超出老大的預期。) “In my first press conference this season, I was speaking about being champions in Newcastle in the last game,” he recalls. “So if we can be champions before that, fantastic. If we can be champions in Newcastle - great, no problem.” (賽季第一場記者會我就說過會在紐卡斯爾封冠，若能提前那是再好不過；若在鈕可斯爾 也很棒。) Back then the boss explained that an expected stiffer challenge from other Premiership clubs was behind his caution. He stands by his assessment of the opposition. “Man United is in a better condition than they were last season. Last season they lost the championship very soon with no reaction and a big distance behind. Liverpool are a bit better this season. Again no chance to win the Premiership but again an improvement. Last season they were 37 points behind us and now they are 12. (曼聯和利物浦的成績都比去年好，去年他們落後我們37分，今年只有12分。) “Last season the special team that was challenging the top four was Everton, this year it is Tottenham or Blackburn.” (去年黑馬是艾佛頓，今年是熱刺、布萊克本。) Chelsea this season when the Merseysiders were bottom, Chelsea were top and the game at Goodison ended in a draw. It started Everton on a climb to 11th. (艾弗頓自從還在降級區時和我們打平之後，一路竄升到第11。) “What they are doing now is the normal situation. I knew when we played them what their team and David Moyes could do. (我對艾佛頓和莫耶斯很了解。) “We have drawn with them twice - in the FA Cup as well — so we have to recover well from Bolton, put some fresh legs in the team and prepare ourselves.” (我們和他們打平兩次，在FA Cup也打平，所以我們必須盡快從恢復體力準備大戰。) by Paul Mason --
