"One day, we will be lucky". Mourinho speaks on first defeat of the season.

From the ball boys’ time-wasting antics to their opponent’s cow-parking tactics, Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho has proffered another theory on his team’s loss to Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Portuguese wrote on Chelsea’s official website.

“We were unlucky. The best team lost, the team that tried to win lost, but that’s football.”

“What’s important is that it’s the kind of defeat which is easy to accept. I don’t like to lose when the referee isn’t good and I blame him, which isn’t the case. He was very good and had no influence on the result.”

“I don’t like to lose and blame my players because they were complacent, didn’t play, didn’t produce or the attitude wasn’t good, that’s not the case, so I’m happy about that.”

“We were unlucky, we didn’t score goals when we could have and we conceded the only times they crossed the midfield line, but that’s football and I accept it. We were unlucky, that’s crystal clear, one day we will be lucky.”
