F. Capello: Under Mourinho's leadership, players always shine

According to the strategist Fabio Capello, the poor start of London's "Chelsea" was caused by the fact that the coach of the "aristocrats" Jose Mourinho demands too much from his players and they simply burn out.

The team defending the title of English champions is currently in the seventeenth place after eight rounds and has already lost more matches than in the entire previous season.

Although on Monday the club released a statement supporting Mourinho, in Capello's opinion, the Portuguese coach exhausts his players not for the first time.

"Thanks to Mourinho, players burn out after one and a half, mostly after two, years," - the specialist from Italy told Fox Sports.

"I've heard this when he was in Madrid (coaching "Real" - Eurofootball), and now we have the confirmation of this in London."

"It is true that "Chelsea" is forced to pay for their losses, for example with Thibaut Courtois, but this year the coach also made some tactical mistakes in preparing for the matches poorly."
