Jose Mourinho has dismissed the suggestion Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich may not be satisfied with the Premier League leaders' style
of play.
Chelsea currently sit 10 points clear at the top of the table and
could clinch the title as early as this weekend but, after the 0-0 draw at Arsenal on Sunday, the home supporters reacted by chanting: "Boring, boring Chelsea."
Mourinho strongly rejected that accusation, but he saw his trophy-laden first stint as Chelsea boss brought to an end in 2007 amid rumours Abramovich wanted to see the team play more attractive football.
Abramovich decided to buy the club after watching Manchester United's thrilling 4-3 Champions League second-leg victory over Real Madrid in 2003, and he is said to have made serious efforts to attract Pep Guardiola to Stamford Bridge after being impressed with the manner in which his Barcelona side dominated world football.
However, Mourinho said the Russian was delighted with Chelsea's draw
at Arsenal as they close in on a first league title since 2010.
"Roman is very happy," Mourinho told reporters. "I saw him hugging the players in the dressing room after the game.
"He can be in Russia and live the game the same way [that] he lives
it in a box at Stamford Bridge but, yes, I think he's happy and I think
every Chelsea fan is happy if we win the title. If we win the title, we
have a fantastic Premier League with everything."
