"They totally controlled a team full of fantastic players, who are creative and fast. We controlled them totally and I am really happy."It was the same tactics as when we went to Stamford Bridge in the cup. "That game was totally controlled when we played with 11 players and only the [refereeing] decision that made us play with 10 players for all the second half, plus 10 minutes in the first half, gave Chelsea a chance to be dominant."We knew that playing this way would be very difficult for them. "From a personal point of view, thinking about just about me and my work, [what made me most happy] was being totally convinced that we would be playing the FA Cup semi-final this weekend if we played Stamford Bridge with 11 men. That is totally convincing." Mourinho added to MUTV: "They struggled to cope with everything. They struggled to cope with us defensively and they struggled to cope with us with Marcus and other target points we had on the pitch. "The performance was really very, very good and it is a pleasure for me to say that the [league] leaders - the leaders with some difference - could not cope with our performance."</blockquote>
