Jose Mourinho believes every team wants to be like Chelsea after they moved to within three points of the Premier League title.
Second-half goals from Didier Drogba, John Terry and Ramires saw the Blues come from behind to beat relegation-threatened Leicester City on Wednesday night.
A win against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday will seal a first league title since 2010 and Mourinho once again brushed off the recent accusations that his team are boring.
“I think it’s phenomenal what [the players] are doing, top of the league since day one, it’s not easy,” he told Sky Sports.
“To play against a team that is having a fantastic run, winning 12 points out of 12, playing at home, [with] big enthusiasm, self-confidence, to be losing at half-time, come in the second half and to do it the way my boys did it, I think it’s fantastic.
“I know what I feel in relation to the work in the last two years, and with the work these boys are doing since pre-season day one, so I don’t need other people to recognise what we are.
“I know exactly what we are and I think, in a very pragmatic way, we are what every team would like to be.”
