Mourinho offers Eriksson helping hand

Jose Mourinho has offered to rest his senior England trio from the last two games of the season to help Sven-Goran Eriksson.

England boss Eriksson needs a boost after Wayne Rooney broke a bone in his foot which could rule him out of the World Cup finals. Chelsea have clinched the Premiership title and Mourinho says he is happy to protect John Terry, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole by leaving them out of the last two games of the season.

 

"My relationship with Sven is very good. I said to him: 'If you want my players to finish after we've played Manchester United, they will finish then'," said Mourinho. "I gave him that choice. I'm ready to help England if they think it is a help. I'm ready to let them finish for the season now, to have one more week to rest or have a holiday or go to some paradise."

 

Shaun Wright-Phillips is also expected to make England's 23-man squad for the World Cup but he needs more games not less after being in and out of the Chelsea team this season.

 

Terry left Stamford Bridge on crutches after the 3-0 win against Manchester United but Mourinho insists his captain does not have a serious problem.

 

The Chelsea boss said: "I know he was hurt but it's not the kind of injury that is a problem for the future. The problem was the pain. Some people have a very low pain threshold and others have it very high.

 

"When I look forward to the World Cup I think the English players are in very, very, very good condition."

 

Terry has led the Blues to two Premiership titles and the Chelsea manager believes it is time for people to recognise him as a great player.

 

Mourinho said: "For me he is the best central defender in the world, the best. It is difficult to be a better player. All he can do is keep that standard. The only point where he can improve is in European football, for the referees to look at him with the same eyes they look at other big players in the world.

 

"For example, when Benfica played Barcelona, there was a free-kick and Ronaldinho went to measure the 10 yards for the wall. If another player did that, yellow card, goodbye, disappear. Ronaldinho, a walk, a smile, a laugh and it's done. The next jump for JT is for people to look at him as the big player he really is."
