London's "Chelsea" coach Jose Mourinho defended the criticized "Man City" conductor Manuel Pellegrini and the whole Manchester team.
According to the Portuguese, there is no reason to pour mud on a team that has been playing poorly in recent months.
"I am not surprised by the current sporting form of 'Man City', that can happen to any club. But I am amazed that a team that won the 'Premier' league twice in the last three years, still holds the title of champions, and won two trophies last year, is now struggling.
It seems as if they don't deserve respect, as if they are bad players, that their coach is a failure, in short, a team-disaster. But 'Man City' are champions. So I do not understand this.
Okay, they won't win the title this year, but they did it last year. Some coaches can't win and life goes on. It seems as if 'Man City' are being represented as criminals," Mourinho criticized.
