J.Mourinho: in the first half we played below the criticism limit

Starting the horrifying English championship, London's "Chelsea" footballers once again managed to make fans and coach Jose Mourinho very nervous on Saturday. The latter traditionally did not owe them anything. "In the first half, evaluating our team on a scale of 0 to 10, 'Chelsea' had a minus one," - J. Mourinho told "Sky Sports". His team was saved by Ramires and Willian, scoring goals in the 70th and 86th minutes. "In the second half, we played very well. Ramires and Willian livened up the game. We started to play more intensively, press higher, won the balls more often. There was much more dynamics in dangerous areas. 'Newcastle United' couldn't cope with our game. The second half was really good and I am satisfied with that," said J. Mourinho. "But the first half disappointed me. I try to understand why the same team plays well in one half and poorly in the other. Everything was wrong in the first half. We played too much individually. With such a game, the team cannot be good. It cannot compete with others," he added.
