Mourinho: Why are Chelsea disliked? Because we’re ‘boring’

A study by Kick It Out found the Premier League leaders to
be the most targeted club for online abuse, while the Blues
boss spoke about possible destinations for Jurgen Klopp

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says the reason his team
are disliked and targeted on social media is because they
are boring.
A study by anti-discrimination group Kick It Out detailed the
Blues as the most abused Premier League team, being the
subject of around 20,000 of an estimated 134,400 negative
posts made between August and March.
Of all posts directed at teams, 28 per cent are race-based
while 26% centre around gender but when asked by reporters
why he thought his team were targeted, Mourinho had other
findings.
“I think it is because we are boring – we have been top of
the league since day one,” Mourinho told reporters.
“That is something people in this country don’t like.
“Everyone would love the Premier League to be like the
Championship where four teams are separated by a couple
of points.
“I know that would be the ideal scenario in the Premier
League, but we are trying not to allow that to happen.”
One of the biggest stories during the week was Jurgen Klopp
announcing he will leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of
the season, prompting much speculation over the manager’s
next destination.
Mourinho added: “The only thing I know is he’s not
coming to Chelsea and he told me that personally.”
