‘My Players Betrayed Me’- Mourinho

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.”
