We should have scored more, says Jose Mourinho after 5-0 romp in Germany
Chelsea coach delighted with his team after demolition job on Schalke 04
Coach Jose Mourinho said his team should have had even more goals after they produced a 5-0 demolition job at Schalke 04 on Tuesday to equal their best away victory in the Champions League.
The 2012 winners were in control from the start thanks to captain John Terry’s second-minute goal and they went on to clinch top spot in Group G and a place in the last 16.
“Normally teams, when they are winning 3-0 or 4-0, they make defensive mistakes and allow the opposing team to score,” Mourinho said. “Not today, the team was so solid. I even think we should have scored more goals.”
The Londoners, who are also runaway leaders in the Premier League, took their unbeaten start to the season to 19 games and also matched the 5-0 Champions League victory they recorded at Galatasaray in 1999.
“I don’t remember Chelsea playing this way away from home,” said Mourinho after Willian, Jan Kirchhoff (own goal), Didier Drogba and Ramires also scored.
