#TheComicOne: Chelsea On Course For The Treble, Jokes Mourinho
“In England, teams lose points”. “I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles”, said Pedro.
The Chelsea boss went on to argue Costa did not merit a reputation for being something of a firebrand on the field, as he was keen to point out that the Spain forward has improved his demeanour in recent months.
The Portuguese feels City’s Fernandinho should have been sent off for catching Costa with a flailing arm in an aerial challenge in last week’s 3-0 loss at the Etihad Stadium.
“I can guarantee you if it’s Diego Costa that does that [challenge on Fernandinho], I can guarantee you red card”. If not red card, video footage and suspension.
“I can perfectly have one more player than is normal for us”, Mourinho said.
Meanwhile, Pedro has been given clearance to make his debut but much depends on how fit the Spaniard is after he only arrived on Thursday. “I don’t think he’s too physical”. They are very strong at set-pieces. “Because boom… but Fernandinho is fine”.
Jose Mourinho is livid that Chelsea bruiser Diego Costa is again the No. 1 target for Premier League defenders – and referees, writes Tom Hopkinson in the Sunday People.
“I think the second season should be better than the first“, Mourinho added. “He is working better than before”.
The Chelsea boss has been in an abrasive mood since the opening day of the campaign and has no qualms in admitting that he is not pleased with the performance of his team.
“I’m not happy with anyone, not one person”.
“I’m not happy with anyone”, Mourinho, who also criticised himself, said. I think he is too good not to be back in the team all the time.
West Bromwich Albion host Chelsea on Sunday as they look to take advantage of any possible mini-crisis that the Premier League champions are going through. Only when you have lost that, the will to go through walls to win, then it is time to think about something else. They don’t want to lose money. They don’t want to lose money.
