I didn&#8217;t want to see him defend almost like a second left-back.&#8221; The Portuguese tactician, now in his second spell at the club, seems to have found the perfect balance for his star-studded attacking trident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">Addressing the chemistry between his front three, Mourinho dismissed previous reports of friction. &#8220;Very, very good players want to play together always, because they have the same speed of thought, the same quality and they always have to be compatible,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;It was said that I didn&#8217;t want the three, but what I say is that I always want the best.
