Jose Mourinho: Chelsea Controlled Community Shield Despite Defeat by kanoguy(m): 7:28pm On Aug 02, 2015 |
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said he
believed his players "were the best team" in
their 1-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal
at Wembley.
A superb first-half strike by Alex Oxlade-
Chamberlain won the game for the north
Londoners, while Premier League
champions Chelsea were left to rue missed
chances for Ramires and Eden Hazard.
Mourinho told BT Sport: "We were the best
team. We had more initiative, we controlled
the game by having ball possession.
"But when a team is behind, the energy and
intensity to turn results around is more
difficult because people are not sharp.
"Arsenal defended with 10 players, they put
everybody in front of their own line and
they had good organisation --
congratulations to them.
"They had a couple of chances in
counterattacks, but we had ours in
organised football."
Mourinho later said Arsenal were "a team
that leaves their philosophy in the dressing
room" and called his previous 13-game
unbeaten streak vs. Wenger an "eternity.
The Chelsea manager added that winning
the Premier League title again would be
"very difficult, but it is very difficult for
everyone."
"The way other teams are spending, they
have big power in the hands while we are
the same as last season. And with that we
are going to try," he added.
Mourinho, whose side begin their title
defence against Swansea and may again be
without Diego Costa, who missed Sunday's
game with a hamstring problem, threw his
runners-up medal into the crowd.
He said: "I don't want the medal. I don't
keep the ones when I win, imagine the ones
when I lose.
"The kid was there, an Arsenal kid and I
think it's a good memory for him. His team
wins and he takes a medal from the losers."
