And the Blues' boss, who faces the club he first won the Champions League with 11 years ago in a group game here in Portugal on Tuesday, is adamant that he will AXE players with bad attitudes.
Mourinho said: “If the season goes in one direction, that it becomes closed and we can’t win [trophies], I will go just with the kids.
"It makes no sense, when you have nothing to win, to play the older players.
