Mourinho: I Refused To Speak To Chelsea Players After Bradford Defeat by nairabetguru(m): 12:37pm On Jan 26, 2015
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.”
