"Manchester City" manager Manuel Pellegrini stated that he does not pay attention to the provocative statements made by Jose Mourinho. After losing to "Crystal Palace," the Chelsea manager said that the team no longer has a chance to win the English Premier League title, even though they are only 2 points behind the leading Liverpool players. Meanwhile, the Chilean is convinced that such statements by J. Mourinho should not be taken seriously. "I don't think that these mind games mean anything to other managers. Are the coaches who play these games smarter? I don't think so," said M. Pellegrini about the Portuguese provocations. "I don't respond to such statements because I don't know what Mourinho means. It's not my duty to respond to him. I don't know his ways of thinking," said the Chilean. The "Manchester City" team is currently in third place in the league table, trailing the leading Liverpool by 4 points, but having played two fewer matches than the tournament leaders. "In my eyes, four teams have equal chances to win the league. Other teams can collect 18 points because they have 6 matches left. We have 8 matches. We will have to earn those points. It's not guaranteed six points, it's two additional games. There is a significant difference between these things". "Do I regret losing many points at the start of the season? I don't think about it now, it's not important at the moment. We are the second team in terms of points earned away. Now we can only determine what will happen in the future," said the 60-year-old specialist.
