Chelsea Want Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez In Exchange For Eden Hazard

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho turned on his players following the 2-1 loss against Leicester City on Monday night, admitting the Blues can no longer finish in the top four before saying he feels “betrayed” by his squad. We have basically the same potential as last season, we have the same manager, the same players, so we are under-performing.

“I identified four movements where Leicester score a lot of their goals and in two of the four situations I identified they scored their goals”.

“Why make a rash change now that can’t affect the year?”

Hazard didn’t fancy that challenge.

“They have to look to Sunderland and Watford and say: ‘We are at the same level”.

The Blues are now just one point above relegation after 16 matches played, and Mourinho was unhappy with the ballboys at the King Power Stadium.

According to the Daily Mail, last season’s PFA Player of the Year was still in “major discomfort” after the game.

Frank Lampard has said his crisis-racked former club Chelsea need an urgent shake-up to rescue their season, but does not think that should mean manager Jose Mourinho is sacked.

Try as he might, there is no way back and while many Chelsea fans will be sad to see the departure of their hero, that probability is now an inevitability. They also both had their breakout seasons in 2014-15, Hazard in the Premier League and Rodriguez at the FIFA World Cup.

Starsport revealed last week that United are willing to break the bank to land Stones themselves.

“I want to stay”, Mourinho said.

Mourinho’s press briefings in the last month have shown that this serial victor has learned how to deal with setbacks, how to comprehend failure. What can they get out of getting rid of him now?

The end of Mourinho at Chelsea will not be the final entry in his story and the next chapter is likely to be the most fascinating yet for this compelling fallen giant.
