You have to be pretty good to keep Cole and Luis out of the side

Not only did the full back manage to change Mourinho’s opinion of him, he has also managed to keep Ashley Cole and Filipe Luis out of the starting line up.

No matter how much Mourinho likes a player, he selects his starting line up on form and merit – and Azpilicueta deserves to be there every game he plays in.
