Jose defends approach and slams ‘philosophers’

Jose Mourinho says he will not change his tactical approach for anybody ahead of tonight’s Champions League semi-final second leg at home to Atletico Madrid.

The Chelsea coach has been accused of being a curse on the ‘beautiful game’ with his relentless desire to defend first and ask questions of the opposition later.

That approach secured a goalless draw in the first leg in Spain last week and worked wonders at Premier League leaders Liverpool when he masterminded a 2-0 win on Sunday.
