Mourinho was furious to the medical staff of Chelsea

The manager of Chelsea Jose Mourinho was furious to the medical staff of the "blues" in the last seconds of the game against Swansea in the first round of the Premier League. The "swans" surprisingly took a point from the champions (2:2) at the "Bridge", as the key moment in the game was the expulsion of the Belgian guard of Chelsea Thibaut Courtois in the second half. Courtois received a red card after 52 minutes for a foul against Bafetimbi Gomis, who made no mistake from the penalty spot, forming the final from football tipster score 2:2. In the stoppage time of the meeting ,Eva Carneiro and her fellow medical staff rushed the field to assist to Eden Hazard, but Mourinho is confident that the problem of the Belgian was not serious.

"I was very unhappy from my medical team, because you have to understand the game. Even if you are a man responsible for the shirts, doctor or secretary on the bench, you must understand the game. You should know that your team has a man less and when you go on the field to help to a player you must be sure that he has a serious problem. I was sure that Eden`s problem was not serious. He was hit and also very, very tired and my medical team acted impulsively and naively leaves us with eight players on the field. In fact we stayed with two people less, "said Mourinho to Sky Sports after the match.

Generally for the match, the Portuguese specialist said: "We played very well until we were left with 10 men on the pitch. I think that in the first half our play was of high quality. Then, with 10 people we fought hard, but we were with a man less for a long time. It was not 15 minutes in which you lead and have to defend with a man less. "

"We played very well in the first half, we controlled the game, the players were playing with an increasing confidence. Oscar and other midfielders played with confidence, the whole team played well, but the result is the result. You know that even if you play well, there`s always risk . A penalty, a red card, goal - then everything is different. We fought a lot and at some moments we felt like we have to defend ourselves, not to allow a goal and lose the game, and at other times we felt that from static positions and counterattack we can score. The game was open for both teams. This is the first game of the season and the players are not in perfect condition to play 35 minutes with a man less. It was more difficult. So under the circumstances, I have nothing to say against my players, "said Mourinho.

Asked about the decision of the referee to show the red card to Courtois and give a penalty for Swansea, Mourinho refused to comment. "I will ask you to do this. You have cameras specialists, so go ahead, I will not do it," said Jose to the reporter.
