Jose Mourinho thinks Diego Costa is ‘not normal’

Jose Mourinho has lauded £32million Diego Costa after the striker struck a hat-trick in the Blues 4-2 win over Swansea.

Chelsea continued their 100 percent start to the season with a come-from-behind victory over the previously unbeaten Swans, with Costa moving to seven goals in just four Premier League outings.

And Mourinho has hailed the Spain international as the just the man Chelsea needed.

"Seven goals in four matches surprises me, because it's something that is not normal," Mourinho said.

"Seven goals in four Premier League matches maybe is too much. We cannot expect that after eight matches he has 14 goals. It's to ask too much. Maybe the next four matches he scores two goals.

"But he's comfortable in the team. The team was built in a way where we were waiting for a certain type of striker.

"I think now everybody knows Chelsea did the right thing waiting for him. Chelsea did well by waiting and waiting for the right one."

Yet while Mourinho was happy to praise Costa, he also doesn't want expectations raised too high, for a player who became the first Chelsea player in 86 years to score in his opening four games for the club.

And the Portuguese refused to compare his new centre-forward with Blues icon Didier Drogba.

"I'm not looking for this (30 goals a season)," Mourinho said.

"If the team plays well he has to score goals. But the way he is playing and the team is playing if he keeps scoring a few goals, a few goals give points and points help the team to be in the top part of the table.

"Didier's start was 2004, 10 years ago, a completely different situation.

"Didier had a fantastic career at Chelsea and Diego is showing he can have the same profile of career. We don't need to compare careers and especially the players and especially the teams."
