Jose Mourinho started Chelsea mind games early with Frank Lampard comments

Jose Mourinho started Chelsea mind games early, as at the start of the Premier League campaign, Mourinho was sat in the pundit’s chair with Sky Sports and made some comments about Chelsea’s lack of experience and naivety under Frank Lampard. A few months later, Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham and is set to face Lampard’s Blues on Sunday. Chelsea were flying high in November and were gearing up to face Manchester City.  The city came into the clash off the back of a 3-1 loss to title rivals Liverpool and it was suggested that the Blues could upset the defending Premier League champions. Mourinho was not convinced, claiming the young team’s inexperience may leave them found wanting against elite opposition. “In the first weekend I was worried and I'm still worried about the big matches,” he said. “I think fantastic work. The kids coming into the team are fitting amazingly well with the top class players like Willian and Kante. “I think really, really great work by Frank. But they lost twice against United, they lost against Liverpool at home. “They conceded four goals against Ajax and I’m very, very curious to see Chelsea in the next match at the Etihad. I’m curious to see if they found that great empathy between the good football they play and the pragmatism that the top teams must have to play against top teams. When they find that I think they have a great team for the future. I don't believe in them to finish top two, but I believe very seriously for them to finish top four.” Mourinho’s reservations were proven correct, with City winning the match 2-1 after some defensive lapses by Chelsea.
