Mourinho blames referee for 3-0 defeat to Werder Bremen labelling it a 'circus'

Jose Moutinho was unhappy about the referee’s performance

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has labelled his club’s defeat to German side Werder Bremen a circus accusing referee Harm Osmers of being biased. The London-based club conceded 3 goals, two of them through debatable penalty decisions- a handball by John Terry and a tackle by Nathan Ake.

“I learned nothing from this game,” he said. “Our expectations are not fulfilled because when we decided to have this match here in Bremen we thought about an evolution in difficulty.

“We were expecting a fast game a competitive game, but we come here and the referee thought this was a circus for Bremen fans – for them to have fun - and he killed the match.

“This game for us would have been perfect. I like the Werder Bremen team - they are fast, intense and they defend with a lot of people. The opponent is perfect for is to compete today but we couldn't play.”

Mourinho branded both decisions as ‘nonsense’ and expressed his displeasure at Osmers’ judgement on advantage play. Chelsea stars Fabregas, Hazard and Drogba failed to make an impact on the game.

“Every foul, he gave a free kick against us to stop the game - and when we had advantage he stopped the game for a free kick which stopped us playing.

“The penalties, especially the last one, were nonsense.

“I am disappointed with that because we want to train and the referee didn't let us have a good session.”

Later while talking to the club’s official channel, Chelsea TV, the Portuguese said: “The referee gave the penalty against Ake to finish his job in this beautiful party because it was a beautiful party for Werder Bremen.

“When the referee behaves this one did, this is not a friendly anymore.”
