Jose Mourinho insists his Chelsea side do not need to bounce back after the Premier League defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday.
Alan Pardew’s Newcastle side proved too strong for Chelsea at the weekend, condemning the Blues to their first league defeat of the season.
Mourinho, who was angered by time wasting during the match has since remained calm following the defeat, claiming that his side have no reason to bounce back from the loss, insisting that his side are ‘fine’.
“From the mental point of view the defeat at Newcastle doesn’t have any effect on us. We are fine, we don’t need a reaction,” the Portuguese coach told reporters.
“I repeat we couldn’t be in a better situation. We have nothing to change or be worried about.
“When you lose a game you want to win the next game. Tomorrow is the next game and we want a good result.”
