Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has dismissed claims of a mutiny in his
dressing room as the Stamford Bridge outfit struggle to replicate the
form that saw them win the English Premier League in style last season.
The
Portuguese coach is reported to be struggling to control his dressing
room as a section of his first-team squad are unsettled about the way
Mourinho is handling individuals during the hard times.
Asked about the mutiny speculations going around, Jose Mourinho questioned:
“Mutiny?
What mutiny? My reaction is that, in the last three or four days, Asmir
Begovic said we had the best manager in the world.
“Kurt Zouma said the same and John Terry that we have the manager we want and the one who can help us to correct this situation.
“Diego
Costa said if you ask every player in the world, they will all answer
the same: That they'd like to work with three managers and one of them
is me. Who else? [Cesc] Fabregas, the same. Ramires, the same. [Ruben]
Loftus-Cheek, the same. [Gary] Cahill, the same. Eden Hazard, very
similar.”
The former Real Madrid manager continued his explanation with a joke, naming some players that may be involved in the mutiny.
He continued:
“So
I think the mutiny must be ... must be Baba, Baba ... who else? Papy?
Falcao? Oscar? So those four don't play Saturday, for sure!”
Abdul
Baba Rahman transferred to Chelsea from Augsburg and is yet to make his
Premier League debut for the English Premier League Champions.
