'A six point lead changing to eight or nine points will be comfortable for them. Six points to four or to three - that is what we need for the extra bit of motivation we still have in our pocket. We are waiting for that.' "誰掉鍊子都會使對方趁機而入，我們正在等待時機。" The Chelsea manager believes it has been a significant achievement to have re-established a six point gap. 而回到六分的差距也是非常關鍵的一點。 'When we played Portsmouth, we had two matches in hand and we were 12 points behind because Man United beat Liverpool in an early kick-off. "當我們打龐貝時，因為少賽兩場，所以落後曼聯高達12分。" 'When you are 12 points behind and you have to play two matches away, Portsmouth and Man City, a lot of people could think we would lose some points and create a more difficult situation. "而且接下來兩場聯賽都是客場作戰，許多人認為我們將會丟分。" 'So the team was very strong in two difficult matches. Portsmouth we played just before Porto and Man City just a few days after a big game against Tottenham - so difficult circumstances and the players were very strong.' "那兩場比賽都是非常艱苦的，所幸我們的球員都撐了過來。" Mourinho's assistant Steve Clarke believes those same players will need careful handling during this crowded period of games to ensure no slip-ups. 克拉克認為，球員們必須好好處理這段重要的時刻，避免出錯。 'It is a difficult period for the team, high intensity games, but we have got the squad, we have got the players and we will look after them between matches. We will be strong and Tottenham have a similar schedule before their game on Monday night. "最近賽程很密集，我們會好好照顧球員，應付賽程同樣密集的熱刺。" 'The Sheffield United game before that will be difficult. Any team put out by Neil Warnock, you know they are going to fight and try to cause you problems. We feel we have the quality and the players to win the match.' "沃爾諾克的球隊肯定不好對付，今晚要小心了。" -- 教練腦子轉一轉比較實在 球員也是..... --
