Jose: 'All Liverpool can do is defend'
06/01/06
Jose Mourinho has described Liverpool as being a team that can only
defend.
Jose Mourinho has taunted Liverpool by claiming that all they can
do is defend.
The outspoken Chelski boss, who recently described Arsene Wenger as
a "voyeur" after he dared to answer questions about the champions,
says that the European Champions have 'nothing to offer' other than
the ability to keep a clean sheet - as they did in ten consecutive
Premiership matches before the new year.
"They defend very well," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "But they offer
nothing else other than that.
"It is very difficult to score goals when you take on a team
playing with that style. If you are playing that sort of team you
have to do it with your head. You have to take your heart out and
place it to one side.
"If you play with your heart it is practically impossible to get
past their defence.
"And by playing that way, they create a good number of chances and
get at you on the counter-attack."
Jose's depiction of a mechanical side which puts the emphasis on
clean sheets and likes to hit their opponents on the break also
sounds eerily familiar to the standard description of a certain
other club in the Premiership...
Rafa Benitez may also care to note that Chelski have, in fact,
conceded fewer goals in the Premiership than his side despite
having played two more games.
