I really dont understand why City, a team that comes from Europe on Wednesday, play today at 12.45pm, said Mourinho. Im speaking against myself here but Im not trying to get it just for me; Im trying to get it for all of us. There is something in this country that is outside my understanding. Why did City play against Wigan last Sunday? Barcelona played on Saturday, why didnt they play Wigan on Saturday and get one more day? Its the same way I dont understand why Galatasaray played last night and we have to play today, and at 5.30pm. If we played last night at for example 7.45pm, who does it make a difference to? Would there be fewer spectators at Villa Park? I dont think so; I think it would be a full house. Would it make a difference for TV if we played last night? I dont think it makes a difference, I think the TV share would be fantastic. TV is powerful and they deserve to be powerful because without them nothing would be the same, but I think there is a space that can be filled with communication. Would it be good for Chelsea? Yes. Would it be good for English football? Yes. So why do Galatasaray play a day before us? Or why dont City play at 5.30pm and we play at 12.45pm? If they play at 5.30pm they have some more time to recover, and it we play at 12.45pm we have some more time to recover. I think everybody agrees! Mourinho
