Jose Mourinho believes Sunday s League Cup triumph over Tottenham represents the first trophy for a new Chelsea.
Chelsea lifted the League Cup after victory over Tottenham on Sunday, and Jose Mourinho sees it as the first silverware of many for a new crop of players.
In his initial spell at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup.
Sunday s win at Wembley secured the first trophy of his second stint in charge, and Mourinho s first major silverware since winning La Liga with Real Madrid in 2012.
It s difficult for me to live without titles, he said. I need to feed myself with titles.
This is important for me and the boys. For the club it s one more cup, but it s the first one of a new team.
You have Petr Cech, John Terry, Didier Drogba and, after that, everybody belongs to a new generation of players. So, as a team, [it is] very, very important.
Chelsea are five points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League with a game in hand, and look favourites to progress to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after a 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
