Campaign against Chelsea: Mou

It’s a campaign against Chelsea- Mou

Jose Mourinho is not the one who will mince his words, come what may.

And he doesn’t seem to hold back especially after his side’s plucky draw against Southampton this Sunday. The Portuguese lashed out the referee who made two big blunders within a moment.

Mourinho told BBC Sport: "The media, commentators, other managers are all doing it [putting pressure on referees]."

He added: "There is a campaign against Chelsea. I don't know why there is this campaign and I do not care.

"Everybody knows it was a penalty. The referee made a mistake, people make mistakes and he made a big mistake. He is a good referee and a good guy, he is young, he has years and years of football ahead of him but it is a big mistake."

He also cited his ‘friend’ Big Sam’s comments about Chelsea players trying to simulate the game.

Mourinho said: "After the game against West Ham, Sam is speaking about Branislav Ivanovic [diving], what is this? Then, you come here [Southampton] and you have a crucial decision and the referee makes the wrong decision. He made a mistake. He assumed it.

"Out of nothing, Allardyce starts speaking about Chelsea players diving, then another coach and another coach. The referee changes a penalty for a yellow card.

"[The] same happened with Diego Costa in the game against Burnley. That I can't understand. The reality is there are penalties and penalties - this one was a huge one. Match after match coaches are telling Chelsea players are diving. I will go to the referee and wish him a good year and tell him he will be ashamed."

It seems The Happy One is slowly becoming the Grumpy One with all this supposed propaganda against his side.
