Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has commended his side for their composure after coming back from a goal down to beat newly promoted side Burnley in their opening premier league match on Monday night.
The Blues conceded in the 14th minute as Scott Arfield fired home but MOU's men maintained their calm as they pulled on back through new signing Diego Costa within 20mins of trailing.
Andre Schurrle was perfect as he converted the mildest touch of Fabregas so also did Branislav Ivanovic all in half time to give the team a flying start into the season.
According to MOU in a post match interview: ''I think we had a good reaction, and the first part of that reaction
is the fact that emotionally we were not affected by the goal conceded,''
the Portuguese tactician said.
''We conceded the goal and kept playing according to the way we are training and to the way we want to play.
''The players were very calm.
''They
never lost their composure, they never lost the footballing idea, and
after that we had a fantastic 20-25 minutes with three goals –
especially the second one was a fantastic goal, plus the penalty that
the linesman decided not to give – and in the second half we had control
of the game.''
