Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, has criticized another
referee for failing to award his side a penalty in the goalless draw with
Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday.

match came to a close
Mourinho has already been fined by the English FA for
insulting a referee while Mourinho responded by claiming the FA would punish
him for being blunt while Arsene Wenger was not punished for calling Mike Dean
‘weak and naive’.
Feeling his side was denied a penalty after Cesc
Fabregas was challenged in the area by Serhiy Rybalka, Mourinho used Wenger’s
words.
He said: “The referee was weak and naive with
the penalty. I cannot understand what the referee behind the goal does, because
he doesn’t make a clear decision too.”
Mourinho said of the match: “I see progress.
We hit the post twice, and had a good solid defensive performance against
dangerous team. To lose this game would have been bad for us.”
Meanwhile former Liverpool attacker Dietmar Hamman
believes Jose Mourinho is begging for the sack and has lost the dressing room
at Chelsea.
He told Talk Sport: “Some of the stuff he
[Mourinho] is coming out with at the moment and over recent weeks is not far
from a meltdown. It’s John Carver-esque.
“I don’t know what’s going on with the owner and what
the circumstances are, but to me at times it looks like he’s begging for the
sack.
“The thing that worries me about Chelsea is that he
seems to be falling out with all the players. If you want to get a reaction
from a player and you put him on the bench like he did with [Eden] Hazard the
other day, it’s not a problem. But you don’t bring him on in the 89th minute to
humiliate him and embarrass him even further.
He continued: “And he’s done it with most of
the players. [Branislav] Ivanovic has been labelled as a player who hasn’t
performed this season, which may be true, but if you do it with one or two
players to get a reaction that’s fair enough, but I think he has done it to
most of them now.
“If I look into the Chelsea dressing room now, do I
think the majority of players would like to see the back of him? Yes, I think
they would. He’s upset with everybody
for no reason.”
Chelsea are third in Group G with
four points, one behind second-placed Kiev. Porto is on on top, after defeating
Maccai Tel Aviv.
