“In modern society there are people sometimes behind players who make them be a little bit more selfish in the sense of ‘you first, and the team second’. Costa has the concept of ‘the team first, and me second; the team needs me and I am ready to go for the team’. When you get guys with this mentality they become special and they can be an influence to the people around them”, said coach Jose Mourinho of striker Diego Costa, who has been great in the English Premier League first few games.
In contrast, Schalke 04 has had an awful start in the Bundesliga and will visit Stanford Bridge as the 16th place of the German tournament. This season they have only one draw, and two defeats in three games played.
