Mourinho told us to ignore Liverpool’s result – Terry

The Custodian April 14, 2014

Chelsea captain John Terry, has revealed that they already knew the result of the Liverpool vs Manchester City game, before they took on Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

Liverpool clinched a dramatic 3-2 win over Manchester City at Anfield in Sunday’s early kick-off, to pull the Reds five points clear at the top of the Premier League. However, the Blues laboured to a 1-0 win over Swansea to cut the lead to two points, after Demba Ba struck the winner in the second half.

Terry disclosed that before the match, Jose Mourinho told them about the result and demanded they should focus on their own game.

“We obviously knew about it and looking at the result, it’s probably the one we wanted,” Terry told Sky Sports 1.

“It was important, as the manager said before the game, that we knew that regardless of that result if we don’t win our games we’ll make it very easy for them.

“But we’ve won our game and the pressure is still on the teams above and below us.

“I think patience was the key today especially after they had their man sent off not long into the game.

“Sometimes we weren’t patient or at our best but we got the three points today and we’ll take them home.”
