My work was betrayed: Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho insists he will fight to stay as Chelsea manager after accusing his players of betraying him in their 2-1 defeat at Premier League leaders Leicester City.

Mourinho told Chelsea’s underachieving stars to be humble as they look to turn around their dismal defence of the English title and claimed he wants to remain in charge.

Chelsea have lost nine of their 16 league games so far this season and sit just one point above the relegation zone.

“I feel like my work was betrayed,” said Mourinho. “I worked four days on this match and prepared everything relating to the opponents.

“I identified four movements where they score almost all their goals.“My players got all that information but we still conceded the first and the second goals from those movements.”

Chelsea’s latest flop is certain to bring renewed reports that Mourinho is on the verge of being sacked, but he is determined to oversee a turnaround and urged his players to show humility.

“The players who are not performing well must for sure feel attacked in their pride and their self esteem,” he said.“They have to do everything to get results in a humble way.”
