Benfica head coach Jose Mourinho commented on the defeat they suffered from Chelsea.
Idman.biz reports that the Portuguese team also lost in the second round of the Champions League - 0:1.
"We played 4 games with two days of rest in between. We didn't train, we just recovered in the breaks. One of my strengths is working hard on the field, training. We didn't have time for that.
When a team changes coaches in the middle of the season, it happens because things are not going well. That's why we have some difficulties.
As for today's game, defeat is always defeat, but defeats come in different forms. This was one of the defeats that could be a good starting point for the players. We could have drawn," said Mourinho.
