'I Have My Place In History' - Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has hit back at claims that his team is defensive, saying he has a “place in history”.

Even with the criticism of  adopting safe tactics with his sides, the Portuguese insists his records speak for themselves.

“My teams are great teams. My teams are the ones with all the goal records. I am the champion of the league of records. That is my place in history,” Mourinho said.

Mourinho secured back-to-back Premier League titles with Chelsea in 2005 and 2006, winning 2005's with a record 95 points.

“Who is the manager of the best Real Madrid team in history? That is me,” he said. “One hundred points, 121 goals, champion against the best Barcelona there ever has been. I am the one.

“Real Madrid was a defensive team? We scored 121 goals and got 100 points. My Chelsea was defensive? But they still have the Premier League points record.

“My teams are built to win. You have to be dominant to win, so that is what my teams try to be.”
