Internet Desk: Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho considers his team at a disadvantage position over league leader Chelsea, who will have two more days off after New Year’s Day.
While Manchester United will play three games in eight days against ten for Chelsea, Jose Mourinho has complained of being disadvantaged. “There’s no need to be a scientist to understand that playing with a day’s rest is different than playing after four days of rest. It’s totally different, ” insisted the Portuguese coach.
Chelsea will play against Tottenham on January 4, while the Red Devils will play West Ham two days earlier. “I’m not talking about Chelsea, it also happened with Liverpool a few years ago and this year too. A team that does not play European competitions is of course a big advantage “, has tempered Mourinho.
“For me, the question is: why? But over the years, nobody has really answered because I also had this when I was at Chelsea “, between 2004 and 2007 and then between 2013 and December 2015, he has added, noting that the Club had not gone so far as complaining to the League. “They do what they want. They will give excuses: ” It’s the TV, they have their choice. So this is not the Premier League is Sky is BT (broadcasters Championship). ‘ ”
