Mourinho: "We have a chance to make the semifinals and we'll try to achieve that"


"We're leaders in La Liga and we've had the best run in the history of the Champions League group stage; I don't think we're having problems or that we're doing a bad job"

Jose Mourinho talked to the press the day prior to facing Barcelona in the return leg of the Copa del Rey.
"We have a chance to make it to the semifinals and we'll try to achieve that. We're aware of our opponent and of the result we earned in the first leg. It will be difficult, but we'll try to turn the tie on its head and reach the next round."

"We have a five-point cushion over the team everyone regards as the best in the world. When we arrived, the club had the tradition of being eliminated from the Copa del Rey by teams from lower divisions and we won the title last season. The team wasn't a top seeder in the Champions League either when we got here and we've just had the best run in the history of the group stage and are top seeders again. We're leaders in La Liga and I don't think we're having problems or that we're doing a bad job."

"Pepe will play if he's fit. Granero and Lass have problems. We'll train again tomorrow morning and will decide then which of the three are fit to play."

"I'm not going to announce my starting lineup. I have doubts about some players and I still don't really know what system I'll use. I also had doubts till the end in the first leg due to the absences on the team. It will be the same tomorrow. I'm not going to say anything."
"Barcelona have their own style and principles regardless of any changes on the team. Having Pedro or someone else won't affect their game."

"I've worked in four countries and they're all different. There are many differences between Spain and England, and between the clubs I've worked for in each country. I'm currently experiencing a very good personal moment."
