Mourinho: Chelsea was much more aggressive in Tel Aviv triumph

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was happy to see a lot more aggression from his team in the Champions League win against Maccabi Tel Aviv.


The Blues have been struggling in the domestic league but showed signs of improvement in the 4-0 victory on Wednesday night, delighting Mourinho.

"The team was more aggressive with the ball and without the ball," Mourinho said afterwards.

"Without the ball, you could see the team was much more aggressive, much stronger, the lines closer together and a much better reaction when the team lost the ball to try to recover immediately; to try to force the mistake from the opponent rather than wait for the mistake."
