Holland praises Mourinho in Chelsea victory

Steve Holland is convinced that Chelsea took advantage of Jose Mourinho's half-time team talk during their 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Saturday. Holland said: "He's a highly experienced manager who knows what to say and when to say it. He wanted the team to play further up the pitch, press further up the pitch, to be mentally more aggressive and assertive with and without the ball." As highlighted by Agen Bola indo11.com He added: "He wanted us to play at a quicker tempo and sustain attacks in their half. Our performance level has been very good and consistent this year. In the first half we dropped below that. Jose was very clear to the players at half-time with what they needed to do, and the performance in the second half was more like the Chelsea we're used to seeing week in, week out.”
