Mourinho Fires Back at Chelsea Fan Criticism

Author: Bangladesh Cricket Zone Player Lounge

José Mourinho has never been one to shy away from a war of words, and he made that clear when addressing Chelsea supporters’ taunts. “Until a manager wins four Premier League titles for them, I’m still No. 1 — Judas is No. 1,” he declared. “They can call me whatever they like, even Judas, it doesn’t matter. But as of this moment, no one has delivered more league titles to them than Judas.” His defiant tone mirrors the pride and resilience often seen in Bangladesh Cricket, where records and legacy speak louder than criticism.

When confronted with accusations that his poor results last season left Chelsea without European football this year, Mourinho fired back. “If they had won the Champions League last season, they’d be playing in Europe. That’s not my fault.” It was a sharp reminder that football fortunes depend on collective results, not just one man’s shoulders.

Speaking about the match itself, Mourinho refused to dwell on the sending-off that changed the game. “I don’t want to talk about the red card — if I comment, I’ll be banned. Before the red card, the match was under control. Chelsea couldn’t find their rhythm, they had no counterattacks to exploit. I just want to say I’m proud of my players and of Manchester United’s fans.”

Looking ahead, he stressed the importance of the team’s upcoming Thursday fixture, saying, “I want to rest and prepare as well as possible. Everyone can analyze the game from different angles, but we all saw what happened before and after the red card. We can compare those two yellow cards with incidents that went unpunished — Ander Herrera gets a booking, yet Chelsea’s captain shoves Marcus Rashford and there’s nothing.”

Avoiding direct criticism of referee Michael Oliver, Mourinho still hinted at frustration. “Oliver has potential as a referee, but in the four matches he’s officiated for us, we’ve had no luck. I can’t change that. After the match, I shook his hand and wished him well.” His mix of defiance and diplomacy reflects a mindset that thrives on both confrontation and composure — the same blend of fire and focus that makes Bangladesh Cricket a sport where personalities and rivalries are just as gripping as the games themselves.
