After today's 2-2 draw with the "Burnley" team, Jose Mourinho criticized the transfers made by "Manchester City", stating that his team did not spend enough money in the transfer market.
Following unsuccessful matches, the Portuguese was asked how he evaluates the recent poor results, which are unacceptable for a club of such status, resulting in a 12-point deficit against the leading "City" team, which could increase to 15 tomorrow. In response to this question, J. Mourinho tried to emphasize the money spent by their opponents.
"One thing is to be a big club, and another is to be a big football team. These are two different things. This is the second year we are trying to rebuild a team that was not one of the best in the world. "Manchester City" buys defenders paying them amounts that others pay to forwards. When you talk about football clubs, you talk about their history," said the Portuguese.
Asked by a journalist about the nearly 300 million pounds he spent, J. Mourinho stated that this amount was not enough, as they have to spend more to attract players to their ranks.
"That is not enough. That is the price paid by big clubs: they need to pay more for players than other teams. So, big clubs with a rich history are usually penalized in the transfer market," said J. Mourinho.
With 43 points after twenty rounds, the "Red Devils" currently hold the second position in the "Premier" League.
