The Blues were humiliated by their
League One
opponents at Stamford Bridge in the FA
Cup and the Portuguese insists he will
not be forced into the transfer market in
the aftermath Jose Mourinho has revealed
that he did not speak to his Chelsea
players after their humiliating FA Cup
loss to Bradford on
Saturday.
The Blues threw away a 2-0 lead at
Stamford Bridge to lose 4-2 to the League
One outfit, and Mourinho was left fuming
at his players’ collapse.
As such, the Portuguese has revealed that
he refused to give a team-talk at full-
time, such was his disdain for his side’s
display.
“What did I say to the players? Nothing.
Not a word. It wasn’t a moment to speak
to them,” he told reporters.
Mourinho refused to solely blame his
players for the defeat, however, and
admitted that he must take a share of the
blame, despite claiming that his side
“switched off” after taking a 2-0 lead.
“Do I blame myself for this? [I have] the
same [responsibility] as the players,” he
added. “I think we should share between
us. But if I am the boss, the boss has
more responsibilities.
“But at half-time it was 2-1 and then we
spoke about the danger of the situation.
We spoke about how they play, we
repeated at half-time what we spoke in
the preparation of the match.
“Maybe you don’t believe but we
prepared in the same way we prepare for
a Premier League match, the same power
point presentation, same analysis, the
same information, we prepare exactly the
same way.
“We respect them — at least I respect
them — in the way we prepared for the
game but at half-time the players thought
‘We are going to score, not them’ and
when they scored for 2-2, after that the
game became crazy.”
Mourinho also batted away the suggestion
that the result would force him into the
transfer market, despite links with the
likes of Juan Cuadrado and Douglas Costa.
“This result doesn’t alter my plans in the
transfer market,” he said. “I’m happy to
go with the squad I have. This is Chelsea
always thinking and being proud of
thinking of numbers and Financial Fair
Play and so on.
“We cannot now go to the market and
spend money. I am completely with the
club. I share this idea. I don’t think we
are going to the market, unless someone
makes a market with us.”
