Mourinho has declared his intention of keeping both Petr Cech and Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea this season even though he clearly knows that he is bound to make one of them extremely unhappy. Although he insists that the decision would make Chelsea supporters happy, stating that the supporters are more importand than the players.
Cech who has been in Chelsea for a decade knows that Courtois return is a threat to his spot in the club.
Courtois, who was on loan to Atletico Madrid played a mighty role for the Liga champions is the favorite to start against Burnley in Chelsea's Premier League opener on August 18.
Mourinho says:
"To have Cech and Courtois, the best young goalkeeper in the World and one of the top three or five experienced keepers, for me and Chelsea it's perfect. There is no story. One will play and Chelsea will be in safe hands for good because both are very good players. The window is the window but I'm so happy with the situation. For a coach the problem is when you don't have good players. Then we're in trouble. We have to make decisions but we're paid to make them and I'm really happy with the situation. Tonight the game for Petr was perfect because he had difficult situations to deal with. He had the cross at the far post where he had to stretch his shoulder, another where he had to punch under contact, one off the floor to test his shoulder. He had situations he needed. He's shown that completely recovered."Mourinho watched Cech make an impresssive return from a serious shoulder injury in a pre-season friendly against RZ Pellets WAC.
We just have to watch and see which of the two players becomes very unhappy at the end of the season
