Jose Mourinho: "February is a harder month for us than for Barcelona"

February is perhaps more complicated for us than for Barcelona," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We play against Levante, who are fourth in the standings, Racing [Santander], who are in recovery, Rayo Vallecano, who are surely one of the revelations of the tournament, and Espanyol, who are fighting to get into Europe.

"We have a number of difficult games in February that mean it is unlikely that any team has a more complicated series [of fixtures]," he stated adamantly.

"Levante should be applauded, but not just for winning that game, but by being where they are [in the table] in February," Mourinho added.

"Not in October or November, when everyone thought they would slip down the table. They have an impressive group of players, coaches and club."

Finally, the Portuguese was once more quizzed about his future, as speculation that he could leave the Spanish giants in the summer continues; however, the charismatic coach was reluctant to discuss the topic.

"I think you should know my answer. I am not the one feeding [these rumours]," said the coach.

"You should ask your sources, which for you are anonymous but for me more than anonymous are imaginary. No more to say"
