Chelsea player would 'rather lose than win' for Mourinho

A ā€œChelsea first-team playerā€ has said he would ā€œrather lose than winā€ for manager Jose Mourinho, according to 5 live’s Garry Richardson.

Speaking on Sunday’s Sportsweek, Richardson said he had been passed the information by a ā€œfootball contactā€ who told him the Blues boss’ relationship with players was at ā€œrock bottomā€.

"I was told they're fed up with the way he's been dealing with some of them. They're fed up with his outbursts. I was told that his relationship, particularly with Eden Hazard, was under immense strain," he said.

It comes after Chelsea were defeated 3-1 at home by Liverpool on Saturday. The champions have lost six of their first 11 games and are 14 points off Premier League leaders Manchester City.
