Its A Campaign Against Chelsea!

Its A Campaign Against Chelsea!

What could have been a 10 point lead was brought down to just five after Chelsea were held to a draw by Burnley side who rode their luck.

With a series of incidents one after the other, Jose Mourinho and Chelsea fans have started believing what was just a phrase which made to put the pressure of his players.

Yesterday game was on such example which has left the club and their fans frustrated. With referee Michael Atkinson not only sending off Matic who suffered a possible career ending challenge from Ashley Barnes he also didn't award three clear cut penalties.

With all the frustration and sense of injustice building up, Chelsea manager spoke to the media and was quoted saying

"It could be the end of Matic's career. A criminal tackle. Matic is a very lucky guy,"

"Another club would have the power to appeal Matic's red card."

Mourinho defended midfielder Matic, 26, for his pushing 25-year-old Barnes to the ground after the late tackle.

"Football is about emotions and clearly Nemanja Matic had a reason to lose his emotions," Mourinho said.

"What are the consequences of his push? Nothing. The consequence for Matic from the tackle? It could be the end of his career.

"If you call Diego Costa's actions against Liverpool a crime, the minimum you have to say is this is a criminal tackle."

"I said clearly that at half-time Burnley should be playing with 10 men and Chelsea should have had two penalties. Normally we would win 3-0. The reality is in the end we have 10 men and we lost two points."

On the handball incident, when Branislav Ivanovic struck a first-time shot from the edge of the area that hit the raised arm of Michael Kightly, who was turning away: "The referee's opinion is wrong. The arms stopped the ball from hitting the target. There is no space for interpretation. He is far away, he is not one meter. The ball hits the target if it doesn't hit his hand.

"Players should be taught to keep their balance in different situations in the box, by putting their hands behind the body. This is a penalty. You can say what you want, for me this is a penalty everywhere."
