Mourinho praises “fantastic” Oscar after West Ham win

112313-soccer-West-Ham-United-Chelsea-TV-Pi_20131123142639148_660_320Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hailed “fantastic” Oscar after their 3-0 win at West Ham United.

Mourinho was full of praise for the Brazilian goalscorer afterwards.

“He played fantastic, it doesn’t matter where, in the middle on the sides, he works hard, recovers balls, he presses high and gives the opponents a difficult time when they have possession. When he has the ball he’s able to assist and score. He’s a very young kid, it’s not easy to succeed in this country when you have the talent he has but not the physical ability, he’s a fragile boy as you can see. The talent is amazing and the kid can only improve.”

Jose Mourinho on Frank Lampard and his 2 goals:

‘He played very well, he was another one very comfortable on the pitch. He played a bit different to before with Mikel in there for protection so he could go forward more. We knew they played a lot of long balls and of course Mikel is better than him in the air for the first long ball in front of the defenders.

‘After that Lamps felt more freedom to go and support in shooting areas. To be fair, when the team plays so well it’s easier for the players to produce better individual performances.

‘He’s in a moment where he has nothing to prove, he just has to enjoy the last years of his career, try to play to the maximum level he can and try to score goals, because scoring goals is part of his DNA as a player, and enjoy life.

‘I think I came at the right moment, I was his manager during the best moment of his career and now I’ve come back to enjoy the last period of his career. When he has that relationship with his manager he feels even more comfortable and able to enjoy himself.’

Jose Mourinho also had alot of praise for Samuel Eto. He said,

‘He doesn’t lose the ball, every ball which is played to his feet he holds and waits for support. He’s not the type of striker who is obsessed by scoring goals, he is more for the team.

For Eden, Oscar and Lampard it’s good to have him because if they play the ball he can hold, touch or go behind. The quality is there and he’s having a big contribution in the way we want to play.’

  1. The lineup was great, i hope mourinho continue this way and find space for juan matain the middle

  2. Lamps played fairly because of the presence of Mikel and Ramirez! Mou should be careful how he handles the players, with Mata, de Bruyne and co, else mass departure is certain.

    OH MOURINHO, Why r u treating MATA so badly? U r nt playing him and u still wanna hold on to him. Mata is a class act and we shdnt treat him like trash bcos Mou said so. We shd sell him to PSG bcos loaning Mata is an insult. I would miss Mata, if he leaves. Jose’s brand of boring football nt getting my vote.

    Luiz is another Star, we r nt talking abt. He is lacking game time too, r we gonna loan him out too? Jose, u r such a fantastic Man manager, so they say.

      can you stop with mata, mata mata? mata was part of the 2 games we lose this year: everton and newscatle. Tell me what he bring? we lost or draw 90% of our game when mata starts this year so far: this is the reality. Mou has not the choice THAN PLAYS OSCAR.

      For David luiz, he is a prone-error: we don’t want this.

      • @ anonymous hatred blinds a man from seeing somtin gud in others.wit mata chelsea won against arsenal & bucharesti convincinly.real fans care about the good of their players & manager,but glory hunter cares only about winning.

    Where are you getting your stats of losing or drawing 90% of games Mata started from?

    Chelsea have played 19 matches in all competitions so far, and Mata has started only 8 times. In 8 starts with Mata, we have won 6 times and lost 2 times.

    HULL- Mata didn’t play -W
    MAN u- Mata didn’t play- D
    Bayern- Mata didn’t play-L
    Aston V- Mata starts- W
    Everton- Mata starts- L
    Basel- Mata didn’t start(Sub) – L
    Fulham- Mata didn’t play- W
    Spurs- Mata didn’t start (Sub)- D
    Bucharest- Mata starts- W
    Norwich- Mata starts- W
    Cardiff- Mata starts- W
    Schakle- Mata didn’t play- W
    Man C- Mata didn’t play-W
    Newcastle- Mata starts- L (After he came off, we lost)
    Schakle- Mata didn’t play- W
    West Brom- Mata didn’t play- D
    West Ham- Mata didn’t play- W

    Capital One Cup
    Swindon- Mata starts- W
    Arsenal- Mata starts -W

    Here you have it- Mata has only started in 8 games that’s about 42% of all Chelsea matches. He won 6 games in 8 starts, that’s a 75% winning ratio. Where r u getting your facts of 90% losses or draws, cos Mata hasn’t even played up to 50% of games for the blues
