Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has kicked off the Premier League campaign with a thinly veiled jibe at Arsenal bossArsene Wenger, suggesting he was afforded 10 years to win a trophy.Mourinho arrived back at Stamford Bridge last summer but insisted towards the end of the 2013-14 campaign that his squad were not ready to win the title.And now he feels he is under more pressure to deliver success than any of his colleagues."Why? Some have 10 years to win something, I have only two," he told reporters on Friday.Wenger famously oversaw a nine-year trophy drought at the Gunners, ending with their FA Cup victory in May, but has not won the Premier League in a decade and was branded a "specialist in failure" by Mourinho last season.The Portuguese then went on to hit out at other managers, perhaps old rivals Manuel Pellegrini and Pep Guardiola, suggesting they have benefited from good work by their predecessors.“I’m not a very intelligent guy to choose teams,” he added. “I like to work. I like to build. I don’t like easy jobs. I don’t like to get clubs worked by other managers before me. I don’t like to arrive on time to collect the fruits off their trees.“When I went to Porto, the season before they had been fifth. When I went to Madrid, where was Madrid? Where was Inter before I went there? And I came to Chelsea [last season] at a moment when one team was over and another needed to be born – and at the same time I came to the only league where four, five, six can compete for the title.“At the end of the season you, the supporters and the players will judge my work. And most important, my boss, my owner, my board will judge my work.”Pellegrini took over Manchester City last summer after the club had finished second and first in their previous two seasons, while Guardiola inherited Jupp Heynckes' treble-winning Bayern Munich squad. 

Chelsea have announced their squad numbers for the upcoming season, withOscar taking the No.8 shirt previously worn by club legend Frank Lampard.The England international made the shirt his own during his 429 Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, during which time he scored 147 top-flight goals.The jersey was so well associated with Lampard, widely regarded as the club's greatest ever player, that skipper John Terry had led calls for the shirt number to be retired after the 36-year-old left the club on a free transfer this summer.But Brazilian playmaker Oscar will now have the honour of wearing the No.8 shirt, giving up the No.11 to allow Didier Drogba to reclaim it."Didier is a Chelsea legend and a senior player. I am happy for him to take the 11 and for me to take the 8," Oscar told the club's official website. "Lamps is another legend at this club and I hope I will be as successful in the shirt as he was."Eden Hazard will also be wearing a new number in the coming campaign, with the Belgium winger taking on the vacant No.10 from the departed Juan Mata.Elsewhere, Thibaut Courtois has been handed the No.13 jersey, with Petr Cech holding onto the No.1 despite increasing speculation regarding the Czech Republic international's future at the club.New signing Cesc Fabregas will wear the No.4 shirt vacated by David Luiz while former Atletico Madrid duo Filipe Luis and Diego Costa have been given the No.3 and No.19 respectively.Young defenders Kurt Zouma and Nathan Ake have impressed in pre-season, and as a result have been rewarded with the No.5 and No.6 jerseys while Victor Moses takes No.18 following Romelu Lukaku's departure to Everton.CHELSEA FC SQUAD NUMBERS –  2014/20151.
