After having won 2-0, Chelsea manager José Mourinho was delighted with his team's performance against West Ham this Boxing Day.

The Blues were clearly superior throughout the match and the Portuguese coach couldn't have had a better Christmas present from his players.

So happy was the manager that he declared his love for his men, and said that such a feeling was something that he had been missing - in clear reference to the tense relationship he had maintained with the Real Madrid dressing room.

"The results are good, the performances are quality, the players are happy, I'm happy as a coach because my team is playing well, I'm happy as a guy because I love my players. That's something I missed for a while and with this group I have that", he declared in the press conference following the game.
