Jose
Mourinho has claimed that Manchester City have been lucky with a numerous referee’s
decision this season, Chelsea manager said that the “BPL leaders have
underachieved” – especially in Champions League – considering their huge
spending in the last summer.
Manchester
City lifted their first Premier League title in 44 years in 2012, but they have
not showed any positive sign in Champions League campaign.
Mourinho
said that they have won couple of trophies including a BPL title in recent
years but only in England not in Europe. City were not good in Champions League
in past seasons.
City
have spent a lot of money on their new signings, City have a fantastic squad plus
a good manager. He think they should win more titles.
Mourinho
said that the first thing is to know the rules of competition, City knew that
if they fail to top the group then they might play the teams like Barcelona in
the knockout stage. City needed only a goal to qualify as the group leaders.
"The
first thing to be successful in Europe is to know the rules of the competition.
That's the first thing," the Chelsea boss joked.
Chelsea
boss further added that City are favourites to win Premier League this term, while
he is making his squad stronger for the future not only for today.
Blues
manager said regarding Ashley Cole that "Ashley is playing well with us. If
he's not playing every game, okay, he's not playing every game, but he's
playing and he's playing well and I think that's what Roy Hodgson needs to feel
and know.”
He
thinks that Ashely is still one of the best left-back, and he will definitely be
playing in Brazil in the summer. Everton’s Leighton Baines is the only player
who can fight Cole for his place in the starting eleven.
