Mourinho: Chelsea not playing Sydney 'for fun'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claimed he will field a strong XI for Tuesday's friendly against Sydney FC.

Jose Mourinho has promised to play a full strength Chelsea side against Sydney FC on Tuesday, and feels they have a responsibility to win for the club's huge legion of fans.

Mourinho was at his charismatic best at a news conference on Sunday, ahead of the clash with Graham Arnold's Sydney at ANZ Stadium.

Despite coming here after a long season, Mourinho wants his side to put on a show - but also suggested they will park the bus to get a result.
