Jose Mourinho during his latest press conference at Stanford bridge
Ahead of Chelsea's opening game against West Ham, It appears that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has already started with his famous Mind games however this time much earlier than usual. Rafa Benotez, who had always been on the end of Mourinho's antics, was appointed as manager of Southampton last month following the resignation of former boss Mauriccio Pochettino. The chelsea boss said "I think that Southampton made the wrong choice by appointing Rafa Benitez. I don't believe that the style of football suits him and he will struggle to compete with the other top teams in this country."
He also went on to say "When you look at his work in recent years, I think it's fair to say that he isn't at the same level that he was during his time at Liverpool." Rafa Benitez has won 5 trophies in English football compared to Mourinho's 7 however only one of them has lifted the prestigious UEFA Champions league. When asked about Southampton's forthcoming season, he said "I don't expect them to mount to much this season. I think that they certainly have the quality in their squad but all the pressure will get to them sooner rather than later."
