London - Jose Mourinho gave his humiliated Chelsea stars the silent treatment following their shock FA Cup loss to Bradford.
The Portuguese, who headed into the away dressing room to congratulate Phil Parkinson’s side, said: “What did I say to my players? Not a word. It wasn’t a moment to speak to them.”
Mourinho used Sunday’s training session at the club’s Cobham HQ to begin an inquest.The Chelsea manager was at his desk by 8am, ahead of his players’ arrival, with the priority ensuring there is no hangover in Tuesday’s Capital One Cup semi-final against Liverpool. The first leg finished 1-1.
Key defensive trio John Terry, Nemanja Matic and Branislav Ivanovic were rested against Bradford but Mourinho refused to use their absence as an excuse for defeat.
“Did we miss Terry’s leadership? No,” he said. “We’ve played lots of games without John. We played Bolton, Shrewsbury and Watford without John and the team coped well. I trust my squad. I am not going to change because of this disappointment.
“It is easy for you to understand now why I play almost every game with the same players. I try to keep stability. Maybe now you can understand a bit better why I do that.
“This result doesn’t alter may plans in the transfer market. I’m happy to go with the squad I have. This is Chelsea, proud of thinking of numbers and Financial Fair Play and so on.”
