EPL: Fabregas: Players let down Mourinho trust in them!!
After leading the Blues to the Premier League title in 2014-15 in
historic fashion, Chelsea found themselves in a relegation battle in December
this season, which lead to Mourinho’s dismissal.
Many wondered how a team that was so dominant could fall so
quickly, with Mourinho often blamed in the press for pushing his players too
hard.
However, according to Fabregas’ recent comments speaking to the media, it was the players
who let down their manager.
I think his
biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holiday
because we were champions, he believed in us more, trusted us more, and we let
him down. The whole team, all the players.
That was the
main reason why at the end he had to go. And for that, myself and all the team,
will feel bad for him.
Mourinho often seems to have a love-hate relationship with his
players, and although it was reported that Fabregas and Jose ended on poor
terms, it is clear the midfielder respects the work of his former manager.
What truly happened at Chelsea that led to Mourinho’s sacking may
never be known to people outside that dressing room, but another stern manager
in Antonio Conte will come in this summer and hope similar events don’t take
place.
When asked about his knowledge of Conte, Fabregas had a simple
answer: “All I know is that he wants to win straight away. No more
transition, no more excuses.”
