Mourinho in Amazing Tanking Admission

CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho has made the startling admission that he wants to play his second XI in the title-deciding match against Liverpool this weekend, but the decision ultimately rests with club owner Roman Abramovich. Mourinho made the comments following Chelsea’s 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg.
The return leg is on Thursday morning (Australian time) next week, just days after the Blues play Liverpool at Anfield in a game that is likely to play a huge role in deciding who takes out this year’s Premier League title.
The Portuguese manager stunned the assembled press pack by openly admitting his preference was to rest most of his first-team players on the weekend so they’re fresh for the clash against Atletico.
