Forced to Cry & Beg, Jose Mourinho Blasts Premier League, Recalling Chelsea’s 2014 Triumph Over Liverpool

Jose Mourinho‘s Chelsea’s win against Liverpool in 2014 was one for the history books. Liverpool had then got so close to achieving their first Premier League title in 24 years. However, they blew that golden chance after losing 2-0 to Chelsea. The loss dawned at Anfield when Steven Gerrard slipped on field giving Chelsea a chance to take the lead in the first half. At death, Willian closed the match with another goal. As Mourinho now put it, the win was powered by an angst against the Premier League’s crammed schedule.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea awaited a UEFA Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid. The team needed ample rest to face Madrid in the crucial clash. However, the Premier League stood in their way, forcing Chelsea to play Liverpool shortly before the UCL clash.

Jose Mourinho blasted Premier League after crying and begging

In his recent appearance on Obi One podcast, Jose Mourinho recalled Premier League’s hostile gesture from 2014. ” I wanted to play the game on Friday night or Saturday. They didn’t do that for us. The PL didn’t do it. We were crying, we were begging. Then they were saying it is because of audience,” said Mourinho. He added it was unfair for Chelsea to play Liverpool at Anfield with their second-team. So he went with Chelsea’s primary team and guns blazing they were! “When we go there I go there to destroy their party. We went there like we were playing for the title,” said Mourinho about the win.

Chelsea’s dramatic win was not just a huge blow for Liverpool, but also for the Premier League. Had Liverpool defeated Chelsea, they would have won the Premier League. Since it was believed that Chelsea had a snowball’s chance in hell to win at Anfield, PR campaigns within and outside Liverpool had started labelling Liverpool the victors of 2014. Then entered Mourinho’s boys with a thirst for blood. And the rest is history. However, as Mourinho, rightly worried, the Liverpool match affected Chelsea in their UCL semi-finals.

A sad ending for Mourinho

Chelsea managed to draw against Atletico Madrid in Spain in the first leg of the semi-final. The tables were likely to turn Chelsea’s way in the second leg, as they had a home advantage. Coming off of a tough-fought match at Anfield, Chelsea struggled to hold their home fortress at Stamford Bridge. Atletico Madrid outclassed Mourinho and co. 3-1 in the second leg, thereby booking a place in the UCL finale against Real Madrid.
