If Chelsea sack me, they sack the best manager they have had – Mourinho

Embedded image permalink
Despite
The Blues’ strings of defeat this season, Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho is
confident his team would make it to the top 4 on the log. The Premier League
Champions recorded their 4th league defeat in 8 games today after losing 3-1 at
home to Southampton. Despite being 16th in the table, the Portuguese coach sees
his team bouncing to the top in the coming months. 
The 52
year-old in a post-match interview today said there is no way he will resign adding that Chelsea cannot have a better manager. 
He told
Sky Sports, “I want to make it clear.
One, I don’t run away. Two, if the club want to sack me they have to sack
me because I am not running away from my responsibilities or my
team.” “To be champions now is very difficult because the
distance is considerable. But I am more than convinced that we will finish
in the top four and when the season is so bad if you finish in the top four it
is OK. Third – and I think this is even more important than the first and
the second – it is a crucial moment in the history of this club. You know
why? Because if they sack me they sack the best manager this club had. The
message is again that bad results and the manager is guilty.”
Jose
Mourinho says there is no way he will resign. He says Chelsea cannot have a
better manager so no chance he will run away. He added that he has his professional
pride and he loves the club very much, so the combination means he is going to
stay and he’ll stay until the owner or the board tells him they don’t want him
to. And he points out he said the same last season. The ex Real Madrid manager thinks
by December, January or February that the team will be back in the top four. He
also said he spoke to the players this week and they confirmed they think he is
the man for the job

The Football Medical Association expresses disappointment over Eva Carneiro's Chelsea exit

Eva Carneiro
The Football Medical Association has expressed its disappointment
over the treatment of former Chelsea team doctor, Eva Carneiro at the English
club. Eva quit the club this week one and a half months after her bust-up with Chelsea boss, Mourinho
 A statement from the body reads
//
“The FMA is extremely disappointed
that Dr Eva Carneiro will not be resuming her full duties as first team doctor
at Chelsea Football Club. As the representative body for medicine and science
personnel in the professional game, the FMA aims to protect the rights of its
members.
“Having recently been contacted by
Eva, we have offered our full support in attempting to negotiate a satisfactory
outcome. Unfortunately this has not resulted in our preferred outcome. Chelsea
considers this now to be an internal matter and it is for Chelsea and Eva’s
appointed lawyers to discuss any further action.”

//

FA board member, Heather Rabbatts has described the medical professional
as a role model who to women/girls who aspire to work in football.
“Eva was one of the few very senior
women in the game, a highly respected doctor who has acted with professional
integrity in difficult circumstances and whose skills have been highly praised
by her colleagues, the club and governing bodies.
“On the 8th August
Eva fulfilled her duty as the senior medic and responded to the referee to
enter the field of play to treat a player.‎ Any other response would have been
a dereliction of her duty and a breach of GMC guidelines as confirmed recently
by the organisation of Premier League doctors.
“In acting properly she was then
subject to verbal abuse and public criticism and in effect demoted by her
removal from the bench. Her departure raises a serious question on how players
are safeguarded if their medical support is compromised.
“In addition, as Chair of the Inclusion Advisory Board, I have a responsibility to support women in the game and Eva has been a role model for many girls and women who aspire to work in football.

“Her treatment sends all the wrong messages.”

Chelsea team doctor, Eva Carneiro quits Stamford Bridge.

‎Chelsea team doctor, Eva Carneiro has parted ways with the club following her row with The Blues manager, Jose Mourinho 6 weeks ago. Recall that The Portuguese criticised Eva and head physio Jon Fearn after they ran over nto the pitch to treat midfielder Eden Hazard during the 2-2 draw with Swansea on 8 August.‎
Mourinho claimed they didn’t understand the game.
//
“I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive. Whether you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game.

“You have to know you have one player less and to assist a player you must be sure he has a serious problem. I was sure Eden did not have a serious problem. He had a knock. He was tired.‎” Mourinho told Sky Sports in a post-match interview.



//
After the incident, Eva was relieved of her touchline duties and was no longer allowed to attend matches or training sessions.‎ 
A‎ month and a half after, last Friday to be precise, the 42 year-old was invited back to work but she refused to show up. She’s left the Stamford Bridge and is reportedly pursuing legal actions against the English club.
//
‎A week ago, The Football Association revealed that it is investigating a complaint that the ex Real Madrid boss used abusive or sexist language towards her.

Opinion: Form is temporal… Jose Mourinho is permanent | By: Komptrolla

Sometimes, you can be a victim of your own high standards. In football, every sport as a matter of fact, form crisis is allowed, every big team at one time or the other has experienced it, how well they deal with the down time goes a long way in the recovery process; for Chelsea and everyone at the Stamford Bridge, it’s time to get behind the team and believe once again in the special one.

//

In all sincerity, it’s ok to experience moments of struggles, but for Jose Mourinho, it’s a strange feeling. This return of 4 points out of a possible 15 is the worst he has ever witnessed in his professional career.
With due respect, if this were to be the case at Tottenham or West ham, the headline would be different, but it’s Chelsea, it’s Jose Mourinho so you understand the panic button that the media is pushing as well as the anxiety among the fans.
Frankly speaking, the entire Chelsea squad is fatigued, a few are past their best and some are just waking up from sleep, if we were to come up with a list of the weakest performers of the EPL, it would be sane enough to load in all Chelsea players, the disaster at Goodison Park explains the obvious and with Arsenal lurking next weekend, it’s safe to admit that Chelsea must bring out something special to turn the situation on its head.

//

But before you rule out Chelsea, before you nail the special one, please remember it was this same team that strolled to the title last season, it was the same Mourinho that masterminded the weirdest UCL coup at Porto in 2004, it was the same Jose that oversaw the longest unbeaten home record in footballing history.

//

Form crisis has happened to the best of teams, it has befallen the best of managers, Jose needs support to restore the confidence that is lacking at the Bridge, the earlier the fans realize this the best.
Off field issues have reared ugly heads too, notably the Dr. Carneiro saga, disciplinary problems on the part of players and obvious confidence crisis on most of the star players are not helping the manager.

//

11 points off the pace is the worst start one can wish for, but September is too early to crown or relegate anyone. The royal blood at Stamford Bridge will speak for them, regardless of the result against Arsenal, form is temporal, but remember… Class is permanent and Jose Mourinho is still the Special One.

I suspect the writer is a Chelsea fan. Well, he might not be.

Angry Mourinho tells reporter to google answers to stupid questions

‎Chelsea Boss, Jose Mourinho’s mood has been far from pleasant lately and the reason isn’t far-fetched. Losing their games three consecutive times and being 17th on the table, it has been the English club’s worst start to a season since 1986.

//
A BBC reporter however irked the living daylights out of the Portuguese today after he asked if he is being affected by the ‘third season syndrome.’ Excerpts from his conversation with  Ben Smith, BBC sports news correspondent below.

//
“Jose Mourinho was sporting a new haircut at today’s press conference and, just like his mood, it was short and spiky. This was the Chelsea manager at his emotional best. Smiling and laughing at one stage and delivering that famous death stare at others. He was fiercely protective of his players, robust in his defence of his own record and proud to remind the rest of English football that ‘I am a champion’.


//
Jose: “Talk is cheap. Chelsea need results. This is their worst start to a top-flight season since 1986, their manager must hope his new haircut will bring a change in form. I promise you I am fine. I am not happy. I am not used to losing so many times but I am adapting to the situation.
“You cannot expect me to say it is all smiles, laughing and jokes. When people are not getting success we work for, we are going to be frustrated.
“We know what we are – champions of England. The fans sing that. Nobody can steal what we are or our trophies or our history, you can try but you can’t do that.
“When you are used to winning all the time, then when you don’t it is a strange feeling. Some people deal well with it, others not as good.”

Ben Smith: Do you believe that you still have all the qualities that made you such a great manager? A lot has been made of the third season in your time at clubs – what do you say to that?
Jose Mourinho: Look, my third season – in Porto, I didn’t have a third season. My third season in Inter, I didn’t have a third season. My third season at Chelsea the first time, I won the FA Cup and the Carling Cup, and I played the Champions League semi-finals. My third season in Real Madrid, I won the Super Cup, I lost the cup [Copa del Rey] final, and I went to the Champions League semi-finals. These are my third seasons…
BS: Sure, but you know what I’m getting at…
Jose Mourinho: So click Google, instead of making stupid questions, click Google and try to find.
BS: Jose, you know what I’m getting at though, don’t you, how important is it for you to build…
//
Jose Mourinho : No, you spoke about the third season, and I am telling you that the question is stupid, because the third season is what I told you.
BS: Jose, you know the point of the question…
Jose Mourinho: No, I know the point, the point is that the question is stupid. I am sorry…
Was there any correlation between his haircut and his mood, “My haircut isn’t as radical as it has been. I am fine, I promise you.”‎ He concluded.

"I am a champion, the players are champions". Mourinho defends team after defeat.

Chelsea Manager, Jose Mourinho has for the umpteenth time defended his team following their 3-1 loss to Everton this afternoon. Steven Naismith came off the bench after nine minutes to score a hat-trick. It was Chelsea’s third defeat of the Premier League season.

//
Mourinho says he isn’t under any pressure despite Chelsea’s strings of defeat. He told BT Sport after the game. 


“I’m the man for the job. I’m the man who did so many good things for Chelsea .. I’m the man.‎ I’m not feeling under pressure. I’m feeling the results are the worst ever in my career. I don’t blame my players, I don’t blame myself. I don’t accept the result and I am responsible for the team I’m not happy with the situation or myself. 

//

“I am not against the players I don’t have a bad feeling against them. I’m happy that tomorrow I face them again and I will be happy to prepare them for the next game.

“The results are going wrong too wrong for our quality and for our status too wrong for what the players deserve. The players deserve more than the results they are getting – it is easy for people to criticise me and the players and everything is wrong but I disagree completely.

“I am a champion so are the players the way they are playing is not as bad as the results but in every game everything goes against us.”
However, The self-proclaimed Special One still believes they are still much in the title race.

“Until mathematically it is impossible we are still the champions. I don’t know because we depend on many things including improving ourselves. But when you are many points behind we depend on others.”

//


“I do not feel under pressure – these are the worst results ever in my career they do not reflect my quality or status but I can cope with the situation.

“I will not put more pressure on the players they feel sad and frustrated enough. The first mistake we make Naismith is alone and scores a goal that is a frustration for our players. The last thing they need now is for me to be critical. Let’s wait for better days and better results.”

Mourinho hails Pedro's outstanding debut, compares him to Maradona.

I think one of the hardest tasks in this world is trying to understand Jose Mourinho. Don’t even attempt it. The Chelsea boss  has compared the club’s latest signing, Pedro Rodriguez to football legend, Diego Maradona after the latter’s impressive debut yesterday.

The 28-year old ex Barcelona forward registered his name on the score sheet on Sunday during The Blues 3-2 clash with West Bromwich at the Hawthorns.

He told Chelsea TV, “He wasn’t quite Maradona but he was close. He’s a very good player. There is always a question mark because of how many top players come to England and don’t perform immediately.

“We have examples in our club and there are lots of examples at other clubs, so it’s very nice for him to come and straight away perform the way he did.
“I expected him to perform like that because he had a good pre-season, and he played three competitive matches. He came with minutes, with intensity, so it was not a question of intensity and condition, it was a question of understanding.
“We worked tactically every day since he arrived for him to try to understand the team and for the team to try to understand what he wants and needs. It was a very good performance.”

Mourinho describes Man City defeat as a fake result. Pellegrini replies.

Somebody tell Jose Mourinho to wake up and smell the coffee. The Chelsea boss has described his side’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City as “a fake result”. Coming from the Special One, it has to be a fake result.
Speaking shortly after the game yesterday. The Portuguese claimed Chelsea ‎were the better side during the second half and that City’s decision to bring on Martin Demichelis handed them their emphatic victory.

He told Sky Sports. “The best team in the first half won the game. The best team in the second half was Chelsea for sure. We had a difficult first half, we didn’t create a lot and our goalkeeper made a few important saves.

“Second half everything was different. If the 1-0 was a doubtful result at minute 70, 3-0 is completely fake. At 1-0 Chelsea were the best team for the whole second half.”

They make a change because they feel 1-0 is in danger and we concede a second goal. If 1-1 a different story, their team is in trouble. 

Their decision to bring on (centre-back) Martin Demichelis is an intelligent change, the sort of change I get criticised for all the time.


“Their midfield was in trouble, probably they should finish the game with nine men. In the end I have to be happy with the second half we did. That is not enough to win the game.”‎

‎Pellegrini’s reply to the ‘fake result” taunt”.
‎“In the first half we deserved at least three goals. It was more equal in the second half. Chelsea played better but I just remember Joe [Hart] making one save at 3-0. Our team played better and three is the least we deserved.”
