‘My Players Betrayed Me’- Mourinho

SKY
Jose Mourinho says he felt “betrayed” by his players in
Chelsea’s dramatic 2-1 defeat by Leicester on Monday
Night Football.
The Blues have now lost nine of their opening 16 games
and sit just one point off the relegation zone in the
Premier League after defeat at the King Power Stadium.
Clearly unhappy with his side’s performance, Mourinho
told Sky Sports:
“They deserved to win because they were better than us during
a longer period of time. I think we were the best team, I will
say for 20 to 25 minutes, maximum 30 minutes. They were the
best team for one hour.
“They were very consistent and very focused. They didn’t make
any mistakes. They were aggressive with everybody playing
high intensity, high tempo with a great mentality. It was
difficult for us and then we conceded two goals that are
unacceptable to me because I know one of my best qualities is
to read the game for my players.

“It is to read the opponent and identify every detail about the
opponent. These two goals, the movement of Vardy between the
two central defenders then the cross with the left foot. Then
Mahrez in the box one against one – I want one against two
because I want the midfield player to close the best foot.
“[The] two goals are difficult to accept because I feel like my
work was betrayed.”
