Jose Mourinho has come out swinging after a week in which Chelsea suffered a desperate Champions League exit , by declaring he is still the special one .

People are too worried about me . They don ’ t know what my happiness is . ‘ My happiness , first of all , is when I compare myself with the other managers . This is not a fight with them and I have lots of respect for all of them . 'But in the Premier League , who is European champion ? Me and Van Gaal . In the Premier League , how many has won it twice or more than twice ? Mr Wenger and myself . How many has won every competition in this country ? How many ? ‘ You go to Europe , how many won seven league titles ? How many has won two Champions Leagues ? Carlo Ancelotti has won three and Pep Guardiola has two . You are too worried about me .
