Mark Schwarzer when asked about Jose Mourinho in an interview spoke about how Jose was tough to read. He said Jose could walk into the changing room after a match where the performance had been well below par and offer a very positive view on things. He would say that such 1/2
happen in football. In other occasions, even after seemingly good performances, he would tear into players and the entire team. In 2013/14, Sunderland rolled up to Stamford Bridge desperate for survival and ended Jose& #39;s unbeaten home record with Chelsea, albeit due to a 2/n
dicey penalty for which Rui Faria was sent to the stands for protesting. This penalty was given away by Cesar Azpilicueta. Schwarzer reminisces how Azpi came off the pitch inconsolable due to his error and how it cost the team, especially as we were gunning for the title and 3/n
still in with a shout. Azpi couldn& #39;t forgive and was in tears and seeing this reaction from his player silenced an obviously irate Mourinho. He looked to the squad, pointed to Azpi and said this is what I want from my squad. This reaction to every loss. Every challenge 4/n
Cesar Azpilicueta right from his Osasuna days had to fight for everything he wanted. He wasnt the most naturally gifted, or blessed with extraordinary pace or physical attributes. He has a terrier-like running style and isnt the most elegant. But he is one of the best 1v1 5/n
defenders in Premier league history. Jose famously said that a team with 12 Cesar Azpilicuetas would win the Champions League coz football isnt always about natural talent. Azpi is a Chelsea legend and he is here on merit and sheer hard work. 6/n
Thank you @CesarAzpi for everything you& #39;ve done for the club and continue to do. I can think of no one better to lead us out in the FA Cup and CL finals. You will go down as a Chelsea legend and we& #39;ll do everything in our power to remind future generations just how good you are
Seeing this servant of our club disrespected by people who can& #39;t fathom the love and respect he has for Chelsea FC is a low point on this app for me. This man deserves all the plaudits he deserves. End of thread
