Mourinho: I Don’t Play Mind Games

84029
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has incredibly insisted that he doesn’t play mind games.
The former Real Madrid manager admits that he does try to influence opinions and personalities in the build up to big matches but doesn’t see that as playing mind games.

Mourinho said: “It’s not mind games; I don’t try to do that.
“The period before the game can be important to influence opinions, characters, personalities, feelings and, of course, I use that to touch my players, to touch opponents, to touch supporters.
“But for me, the only game in football is the 90-minutes game.” He told Esquire.
Mourinho might not call it mind games, but this season he has slated Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, branding him a ‘specialist in failure.’
He has also consistently tried to rattle Manchester City’s Manuel Pellegrini and has had running battles with former Liverpool and Inter boss Rafa Benitez in the past.
Whatever Mourinho calls it seems to be working as Chelsea sit at the top of the Premier League with just ten games to go.
