Jose Mourinho Believe He Has A Huge Task At Hand

Jose Mourinho, the current Chelsea manager has suggested that the type of football at the club is the main reason for their current slump.

Chelsea’s weaknesses were exposed by Everton and Basel. Their defeat to Everton was followed by a shock 1-2 defeat against Basel in the Champions League.

Mourinho seems to add fuel to the fire by claiming that his team’s failure in winning matches is because of fantasy football being promoted at the club.

“I feel we are not going in the correct direction, when it comes to playing football elegantly. The truth is that we are not able to score goals. You can’t accuse us of not being offensive team. We have a high percentage of ball possession. We just aren’t able to convert them to goals. We probably lack the clinical finishing touch. A defensive approach might help the team. We could counter attack when the opportunity arises”, Mourinho said.

Even a casual football follower would conclude that Mourinho has not been able to adapt to the club. His tried and tested coaching methods don’t seem to be working with Chelsea.

Mourinho would rely on Branislav Ivanovic to get the season up and running. The game against Fulham this weekend would be a crucial one for Mourinho as all eyes are on him. Mourinho is expected to perform under pressure.

“We would stand up and show character for the coming games. I understand that it is a bad start to the Champions League. But, we would definitely improve. We conceded the first goal, which was difficult for us. We didn’t expect the defeat against Basel. We will definitely bounce back”, Ivanovic said.
