Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has apologised to the club’s fans after he questioned their support inside Stamford Bridge on matchday.
After The Blues saw off Queens Park Rangers at the weekend, Mourinho was very critical of the home supporters, claiming it was like playing behind closed doors, to which was met with an angry responce by a Supporters Trust.
The Trust stated that ticket prices are stopping passionate, die-hard fans from going to the games and making noises, and ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League game with Maribor, Mourinho has released a statement to the fans, apologising for what he said.
Mourinho said: “This is not, for me, just a job. It it more than that, because it’s Chelsea.
“Maybe I go a little bit too far. But I see myself in the stands, watching Chelsea and I want to play, I want to help.
“If I’m not a player I cannot play, if I’m not a coach I cannot make decisions.
“If I’m just a fan what can I do to help? That’s just my view.
“Everybody at Chelsea Football Club knows how much I love the club, how much I want it to improve and how much I want to be part of the club in the future.
“Even a moment of criticism has to be analysed with different eyes, with the eyes of somebody who knows why I came back to Chelsea and why I’m here with my heart and why I want to stay for a long, long time.”
