Jose Mourinho took shots at his opponents Newcastle United and blamed them for wasting time as they handed high flying Blues their first defeat of the season.
“If you do that, then you can stop the game, because there is a cow. You can’t do just anything in football. Bring the bus, yes, but the game needs a ball. Do what you can to win, but don’t resort to anything.” he added.
He complained about weird time wasting tactics used by Newcastle United to ensure Chelsea didn't make a comeback.
“We wanted to play more football, but it was not possible because of a few things I thought didn't belong any more to top-level football, but still belong here,The ball disappeared, the ball doesn't come, another ball comes, the ball boys run away. These kinds of situations that are, unfortunately, still part of the game. But no complaints.”
Mourinho in a melancholic mood found some time to praise refereeing, which by some was contentious.
“We were unlucky. The best team lost. The team that tried to win, lost. It’s a lucky day for Newcastle, but that’s football. Congratulations to Newcastle.”
