The two time European
champion winning manager Jose Mourinho isn’t very pleased looking at Chelsea ’s fixture list. The
Blues are the only English team involved in the UEFA Champions League in
midweek whose weekend game has not been scheduled for Sunday.
Mourinho
was similarly upset last month when they were forced to play Manchester City
and Arsenal with little over 48 hours rest.
Arsenal
and Manchester United clash as part of Sky
Sports' Super Sunday Hat-Trick, which also includes City's trip to Sunderland .
And
Mourinho feels those with the power to change the schedule are making fun of Chelsea , as he said:
"I think they laugh.
"They
know what they can do and laugh because I can do nothing.
"The
people who decide the fixtures, I don't know who they are but what I know is
that they think we're special and give us the right fixtures. We're the only
ones who play Wednesday and Saturday.
"I
feel our match is very special because from every English team involved in
European competitions, especially the ones involved in Champions League
matches, we're the only team that play Saturday.
"Everybody
has one more day to rest. Others play Tuesday and Sunday. Once more we're
really special and maybe our game versus West Brom
becomes the 'Special Saturday'.
"It
is happening a lot with us. Instead of having 15 days to prepare for West Ham,
now we have 16 days, which is good.
