# Chelsea set for Japan tour

According to the Telegraph, Jose Mourinho has hinted that Chelsea may head to Japan for a ‘celebratory’ end of season tour, partially because of their new Yokohama Rubber sponsorship deal. When asked how he would treat himself if his Chelsea side were to win the Premier League, he responded with: “*I think we’ll go on an after-season tour, play a couple of matches in some destination where people will be very enthusiastic to have the Premier League champions.”*

Mourinho went on to quote: *“It’s something we are thinking about, a good way to celebrate. Not a victory parade, a trip where we can play a couple of matches but, at the same time, can be together without the pressure of winning every match, without the pressure and tension of the last weeks of the Premier League.”*

Any potential tour would have to be carefully scheduled, with international matches scheduled around a similar time, which could spark another club versus country row. It is believed Chelsea will look to travel around a week after the end of the Premier League, which draws it’s curtains on May 24th.

When asked about Japan as a possible destination, Mourinho revealed he is in discussions with Chelsea Chairman Bruce Buck. “I don’t know, but that would make some sense. Mr Bruce Buck and the board are talking with me”.
