‘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.”
