He did not even wait that PSG is designated as his opponent to start the spoof capital club. “I think that PSG would be a good draw”, said José Mourinho, Chelsea coach on the eve of the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League last December. He justified it by the short trip that would mean for their fans but no one was fooled. “Soft” wanted to capitalize on the torn qualification hard last year in the quarterfinals against PSG (1-3, 2-0). Tuesday, Twenty-four hours before the rematch, he had stigmatized Paris “aggression” in the first leg, barely disguised means to put pressure on the referee of the meeting, the Dutchman Björn Kuipers. Wednesday night, the morgue turned against him. PSG, reduced to ten men from the 31st minute, qualified (1-1, 2-2) face a Chelsea team that has yet received a rather favorable arbitration.
“I did not steal anything, I will not go to prison.” “They deserved to gagner.Quand a team scores two goals from corners ( in this case, Chelsea, ed ), it does not handle the pressure at home with one more player, it does not deserve to win, “admitted Mourinho a sheepish, at a press conference. Asked if he felt a form of humiliation for having been dominated by a team shorthanded, the “Special One” is merely replied: “I did not steal anything, I will not go in prison. I did my best, I just lost a game ( underwent removal, note ). There are no words to describe what I feel. It ‘ is frustrating and I would play again tomorrow (Thursday) because Sunday is far away. I can not wait to play again to see if my players are ready. “

“deplorable” attitude The English press, she did not wait.. She blasted on Mourinho, considered the main responsible for the elimination of his team. “Even on the power play, Chelsea were lower in all areas of the game for most of the game,” says Times . But the press is more emphasis on the detestable spirit in which the game took place, particularly “dirty” according to The Independent that “critical Mourinho’s men to have influenced the referee.” The exclusion of the 31st minute Zlatan Ibrahimovic crystallizes much of the criticism.
“Always respected but never loved.” “NEW Chelsea players to harass the referee ensure that Zlatan red channel “denounces The Daily Mail , evoking an attitude” deplorable. ” Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool defender became a consultant for Skysport, too, advanced behavior “shameful” he attributes largely Mourinho. “This is not the first time this has happened with Mourinho’s team. That’s why I think our teams will always be respected but never really loved.”
Following the successive elimination of Real Madrid then that of last year against Atlético Madrid, Mourinho miracle maker status is beginning to crumble. “Mourinho has always had the ability to shape events so that they go in his direction.

“This is not the time to laugh or cry but to analyze what happened,” insisted Mourinho. “We must also react because we always win the Premier League. It is in good condition. We lost a competition but there are still steps ahead of us. If we win the championship in addition to the League Cup, the season will still be fantastic. ” Perhaps, but the influence of the “Special One” has certainly taken a hit Wednesday night.
