Ruud Gullit, a Chelsea great has expressed confidence in Jose Mourinho as the only one who can turn around Chelsea’s miserable season – but only when he accepts the blame for their plight, show humility and accept where he has gone wrong.
Gullit spoke to Sky Sports’ Goals on Sunday, saying: “In the past, when a Mourinho team won, it was Mourinho who won, and when a Mourinho team lost, it was Mourinho who lost.
“But all of a sudden, this year, it is Mourinho blaming the players. It is Mourinho who wins, but the players who lose. He is criticising the players, whereas before he always protected them.
“If you keep on moaning all the time, if people wait for the moment, then you get things against you. Be humble and say ‘okay, it’s wrong, and I take all the blame for it’ and then people can get over it.
“He is the only one that can change it. If he’d have said after the last game ‘I was wrong, I didn’t need to do that, I was emotional. You’re all right, I should have the punishment’, then everyone would forgive it and forget it.”
