London's "Chelsea" coach Jose Mourinho accused three "Premier League" clubs of excessive spending at a press conference. According to the scandalous Portuguese, "Manchester United," "Manchester City," and "Liverpool" are trying to buy the title of the "Premier League."
The "Manchester United" club has already spent almost 100 million euros this summer, acquiring Matteo Darmian, Memphis Depay, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Morgan Schneiderlin.
The "Manchester City" team alone paid 70 million euros for Raheem Sterling, and the aging composition requires another newcomer. Meanwhile, "Liverpool" has already spent over 110 million euros this summer, with Christian Benteke alone costing 45 million.
"When Mr. Abramovich bought 'Chelsea,' the team bought the title. Now they are doing the same. They all are trying to buy the name of the 'Premier League' winners. It only depends on us whether we can win again, or whether we can compete with them without big purchases," said J.Mourinho.
In 2003, Russian businessman Roman Abramovich took over the "Chelsea" club, and the team immediately rose among the leaders of English football. In the summer of 2003, the team spent over 167 million on purchases, and in the summer of 2004 - another 160 million euros. Not one or two expensive acquisitions were made in recent seasons.
