Jose Mourinho’s double speaking

Awayfans

The special one or has he termed his second coming, the happy one, is not a person who likes to shy away from bearing his thoughts irrespective of the situation. His histrionics and gesticulation on the touchline are as much as the way he does his talking when conveying his thoughts most especially when things do not go his way. So it was no surprise when he accused Sam Allardyce’s West Ham of playing 19^th century football after Chelsea’s goalless draw on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge.

These were his words:

"This is not the best league in the world, this is football from the 19th Century,

The only [other] thing I could bring was a Black and Decker [tool] to destroy the wall. It’s very difficult to play a football match where only one team wants to play. It's very difficult, a football match is about two teams playing and this match was only one team playing and another team not playing.”

Looking at this statement, it strange that Mourinho could toll this line after having consistently deplored incredibly negative tactics away from home. A match as recent as the one Chelsea played against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on December, 26^th, 2013. Mourinho never had the intention of playing expansive football on that day. Eventually ending the match with three defensive midfielders. After the match, these were his words while mocking the home side.

“I Think boring is a team that plays at home and cannot score a goal. That’s boring.”

So the question is why complain, when another person uses the tactics you are good at to outwit Chelsea? The same tactics he used earlier in the season at Old Trafford to secure a goalless draw.

Yet the West Ham manager gave a fitting reply to Mourinho’s vain assertion thus:

"He can't take it, can he? He can't take it because we've outwitted him - he just can't cope," He can tell me all he wants, I don't care.

I love to see Chelsea players moaning at the referee, trying to intimidate him, Jose jumping up and down saying we play rubbish football.

It's brilliant when you get a result against him. Hard luck, Jose."
