Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that he has no plans to adapt a defensive approach, despite his side conceded six goals in just two games.
The Blues let in three goals against Sunderland during their 4-3 victory, and then a few days later they conceded three again during their 3-2 defeat away at Stoke City.
Talking ahead of their Champions League game with Steau Bucharest, Mourinho insisted that he has no plans to play more defensively, despite the amount of goals they are conceding.
“Am I going to change the style of play?” he said. “(Bring in) more defensive players? No.
“Am I going to play David Luiz in front of the central defenders? No.
“Am I going to play with 4 plus 2 and the wingers closing behind, leaving Fernando (Torres) in attack, waiting for a counter-attack, waiting for a long ball, to try and win 1-0? No.
“We go in the same direction. We are creating a lot, we have to score goals and kill opponents.
“You can tell me ‘but you lost when you scored two goals away (at Stoke on Saturday)’. I know, because, at the same time, we are conceding goals defensively.
“Maybe you laugh but I think, in this moment, if we train defensive corners, against the dummies, I think one dummy will score!
“All the rebounds go to the opponents, and I think the rebounds will go to the dummies too.”
