Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, has insisted that he is not interested in going unbeaten this season and would rather gamble on winning, than settling for draws.
The Blues welcome Tottenham on Wednesday and will be looking to extend their run to 20 matches in all competitions.
Mourinho claimed he will be all out for three points at Stamford Bridge against Spurs and not trying to protect their record.
“One thing is that I don’t think it’s possible (to go unbeaten),” Mourinho said.
“The other thing is we are not playing for that. We don’t focus on that. We don’t. Because, if you play for that, if that is one objective, maybe you draw so many matches, you don’t take risks to try and win matches.
“You are happy just to be undefeated. If you get 10 draws, you get 10 points. If you win five and lose five, you make 15 points. I’d prefer 15 points and lose matches than 10 points and be undefeated.
“If tomorrow we have a 0-0 with 20 minutes to go, we are not going to play for the 0-0 to be undefeated after 21 matches. No way. We are going to play matches to win. Sometimes, we will lose.”
