The extravagant London coach, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, stated that Arjen Robben and other team stars may not even dream of playing in every match.
"It is impossible to play the same eleven in every match," explained J. Mourinho. "If I did that, my players would play 70 matches per season."
"Against 'Arsenal,' 'West Brom,' and 'Tottenham' (the closest three opponents - ed. note) I will play with different line-ups," said J. Mourinho.
Winger Arjen Robben released a statement on Saturday denying that the Dutchman is unhappy with Mourinho's rotation policy. Meanwhile, defender Portuguese Ricardo Carvalho publicly criticized Mourinho's decision to leave him on the bench for the matches against 'Arsenal' and 'Wigan,' but after receiving a strong response from the strategist from Portugal, he publicly apologized.
"Not always will Didier Drogba or Hernan Crespo play. In the other three matches, it is not necessarily William Gallas and John Terry in defense," explained the Portuguese.
