The unfortunate draw conceded by Chelsea on their lawn Wednesday night against West Ham has not at all pleased José Mourinho, the manager of the Blues. But this time, the Special One did not blame his players. He rather puts it on the opposing team, accusing them of having played too much in their defense. A system that prevented Lampard and co from finding the net, despite their arch-domination.

“Is this the best league in the world? West Ham play a 19th century football. In a match, both teams are expected to play. The only thing I could do better was to get a drill to tear down the wall,” stated Mourinho.

Words that make more than one observer of English football smile as we know that the Chelsea coach is one of the biggest proponents of defensive play.
