Marcel Desailly, the former captain of Chelsea, believes that blaming José Mourinho for Chelsea’s defeat in the quarter-final first leg against PSG (3-1) is unjust. According to Desailly, Mourinho’s absence on the field means he cannot be held responsible for the outcome of the match. Instead, Desailly suggests that it was the players’ responsibility to execute the coach’s instructions.
Desailly acknowledges that Mourinho’s tactical system is well-established and defensive, but he argues that Chelsea’s players failed to execute it effectively. He also gives credit to PSG for their victory, highlighting unexpected goals from players like Lavezzi and Pastore.
Desailly concludes by expressing optimism about Chelsea’s chances in the second leg at Stamford Bridge, suggesting that a 2-0 victory is still possible.
