Jose Mourinho says he felt “betrayed”
by his players in Chelsea’s dramatic 2-1
defeat by Leicester on Monday Night
Football.

The Blues have now lost nine of their
opening 16 games and sit just one
point off the relegation zone in the
Premier League after defeat at the
King Power Stadium.

Clearly unhappy with his side’s
performance, Mourinho told Sky
Sports:

“They deserved to win because they
were better than us during a longer
period of time. I think we were the
best team, I will say for 20 to 25
minutes, maximum 30 minutes. They
were the best team for one hour.

“They were very consistent and very
focused. They didn’t make any
mistakes. They were aggressive with
everybody playing high intensity, high
tempo with a great mentality. It was
difficult for us and then we conceded
two goals that are unacceptable to
me because I know one of my best
qualities is to read the game for my
players.



“It is to read the opponent and
identify every detail about the
opponent. These two goals, the
movement of Vardy between the two
central defenders then the cross with
the left foot. Then Mahrez in the box
one against one – I want one against
two because I want the midfield
player to close the best foot.

“[The] two goals are difficult to
accept because I feel like my work
was betrayed.”
