da jogodeouro: Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has stated that he was wrong to insinuate that there was a campaign against the west London club earlier this season.
da 888: The Blues boss was infuriated over refereeing decision midway through the 2014-15 season and stated that the footballing fraternity were out to get the Stamford Bridge club.
The Portuguese trainer debated a number of refereeing decision throughout the course of the season and felt that Chelsea were not given a fair crack of the whip.
Mourinho has addressed his comments now that the Blues have claimed the Premier League title and has admitted that his remarks were perhaps a bit over the top.
“I’m not the kind of person to regret,” The Guardian report Mourinho as saying.
“What you did you did. What happened happened. You cannot change things. Time does not go back. We had lots of mistakes against us. That’s the reality but that’s football.
“Maybe ‘campaign’ is not a nice word. Maybe I would take that word out from my explanation and my comments, but that’s the reality. We had very bad decisions over a big period of time. But I also made bad decisions, so no problem.
“The word ‘campaign’ was even the subject of punishment because the word was strong. My feeling was that we had lots of mistakes against us, that punished us in crucial matches in a crucial period – November, December, January.
“I would take the word ‘campaign’ [out] if the same happened next season. It would be out of my vocabulary. But that feeling is clear. We had lots of decisions against us.”
Chelsea claimed a domestic double by finishing on top of the Premier League table and also defeating Tottenham in the Capital One Cup final.
The Blues were eliminated from the Champions League this season by Paris Saint-Germain and will hope for an improved European showing next term.
