Chelsea midfielder Cesc: Mourinho similar to Guardiola

Chelsea midfield ace Cesc Fabregas says Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are much more similar than people believe.

Cesc played for Bayern Munich coach Guardiola at Barca and is enjoying career best form this season under Blues boss Mourinho.

"Don't be so sure [that they're so different]. I think they have one very important thing in common: they're winners. They both hate losing.

"They're more similar than many people think. Mourinho is asking us to play attractive football. This [Chelsea] team aren't about sitting back: we're about attacking and getting on the ball.

"They're both winners and they both like playing attractive football, though their working methods aren't exactly the same - they have different ways of going about things."
