I follow Mourinho ever since he won it all with Porto. I love him. This is my opinion which is just an opinion. This team won the league 6 months ago. It's very much the same team.
I honestly, truly feel like I know Mourinho pretty well, within what's possible in that I don't know him personally. I don't mean this to brag, truly. But I know the kind of person he is, or I believe I do. He said himself too today: he feels embarrassed by all of this. He has passion, an incredible desire to win, and he knows what he has done before. He feels absolutely ashamed by this position, I have no doubt about that. He's always there to win it.
I know Mourinho is working 100% because of this. I know he's giving it all.
But the players? I'm starting to doubt them too. I don't know them that well and I could be wrong surely, but I'm leaning towards that betrayal feeling Mourinho spoke about today.
A team that won the league 6 months ago cannot be bordering the relegation zone or nearing there for 4 whole months. It's going on for too long. These players can CAN and SHOULD be getting better results. There's no excuse. There's no excuse even if it was not Mourinho coaching but another one doing the job. There is no way that even with a David Moyes they should be that low. They are not doing what they can. And it feels it's because they don't want to. Because when you are that low, if you have ANY pride in your job and what you do, you will give 100% of what you have. And you don't need any coach to EVER tell you that. So I ABSOLUTELY agree with him when he said that maybe a few players don't feel Chelsea the same way as he does.
I'm starting to really think by the game that he is becoming the lesser guilty person in this disaster.
