New Chelsea goalkeeper Mark
Schwarzer has revealed Jose Mourinho
played a huge role in persuading him to
join the club.
The 40-year-old completed an
unexpected move to Stamford Bridge
from Premier League neighbours Fulham
earlier in July.
And the Australia international concedes he had reservations about the amount of
football he would play with Petr Cech firmly established as Chelsea's number one.
However, a conversation with new boss Mourinho rapidly allayed those fears.
"Before I spoke to the manager I had some doubts, but once I spoke to the manager
those doubts disappeared pretty quickly," Schwarzer commented.
"The amount of games Chelsea play, there is going to be opportunities to play games
and that's also important for me."
The former Middlesbrough stopper almost joined Arsenal in 2010, and sees no reason
why he cannot push Cech for a starting place at Chelsea as he looks to keep himself
in contention for a place in his country's FIFA World Cup squad.
