Jose Mourinho reveals how Chelsea trio reacted to Champions League snub

Jose Mourinho pleased by response of snubbed trio Radamel Falcao, Oscar and Loic Remy

CHELSEA boss Jose Mourinho has been impressed by Radamel Falcao, Oscar and Loic Remy’s response to missing out in midweek.

 

Mourinho overlooked strikers Falcao and Remy and midfielder Oscar for the 2-1 Champions League defeat at Porto on Tuesday night.

But the Blues manager insists that the trio have reacted well to being left at home and out of the squad ahead of tomorrow’s visit of Southampton (5:30pm).

He said said: “I was told by my assistant who stayed in London and didn't travel, (Chris) Jones, that on Tuesday they worked fantastically well. 

 

“That was the first reaction. They could have stayed here and not shown motivation but, because they knew they could be selected for the next match, they worked very hard and well on the Tuesday.

“It's not easy to do that when the team is playing and you're not with them, but they found that motivation. 

“So, fantastic. Then, in the last few days, normal business, working well. With me, everyone is working well.”
