The special cry! Even before we kick the ball! Stop mind games Mouri!
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho |
October 28th 2013
Jose Mourinho has accused the fixture schedulers of wanting Arsenal to beat Chelsea in the Capital One Cup after arranging their clash just two days after the Blues win over Manchester City.
Chelsea face the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night in the clear pick of the fourth round matches.
However, Mourinho has warned spectators not to expect a classic London derby with his players still recovering from their Premier League victory over title rivals City.
‘We are going to give the game that the people that put the game on Tuesday want,’ said Mourinho. ‘If they want a big game, we cannot give the big game.
‘If they want the players that were playing (on Sunday), we cannot give them that.
‘If they want Arsenal to win a trophy, that’s a help, because if they want a big game between two big teams in London, they should put the game on Wednesday and not on Tuesday.’
The Blues boss revealed there were even talks to put out an entire youth side against the Gunners, although he and his coaching staff have now decided against such drastic action.
‘It’s not the plan. We have to respect also our fans,’ he added.
‘We discussed that in the club. (But) we have to protect our players. We are going to try to do our job and we will do our job the best we can.’
