Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has changed his usual style of blaming his players, opposition or referee for not getting maximum points in a match.
‘The Blues’ took the lead twice in their opening day fixture against Swansea, but also had goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois sent-off for a rash challenge on Swansea’s Bafetimbi Gomis, as they succumbed to a two-all draw.

Mourinho has now blamed the team’s doctor, Eva Carneiro for treating Eden Hazard when the home side was trying to defend a set piece.
Having gotten new rules for the new season, which restricts the manager’s ‘attack’ of match officials, the former Real Madrid boss, refused to talk about the officiating of the match, instead, he took a swipe at Carneiro after their Premier League title defence started with a draw against Swansea City.
The Telegraph quoted a very livid Mourinho to have said: “I wasn’t happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game.
“If you go to the pitch to assist a player, then you must be sure that a player has a serious problem. I was sure that Eden didn’t have a serious problem. He had a knock and was very tired.
“My medical department left me with eight fit outfield players in a counter attack after a set piece and we were worried we didn’t have enough players left.”
On the penalty incident, Mourinho was far less forthcoming.
He said: “I don’t comment about referees. The first time I can control myself. It was on day one we were punished, but it was not on day one that I opened my mouth.”
