Chelsea boss Mourinho impressed with Redknapp and QPR
Manager Jose Mourinho said he was impressed with QPR counterpart Harry Redknapp’s tactics in Chelsea’s 2-1 derby victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Blues dominated possession but were not at their fluent best and had to rely on a disputed Eden Hazard penalty to see off a gutsy Rangers side.
“We were playing against a very well organised team, where everybody knew the job they had to do, where everybody was closing down,” Mourinho said.
“It was fantastic work by Harry to organise his team defensively and they gave us a difficult match, but with our quality I would expect us to be stronger and to get a different result.
“But it is important when you don’t play so well to still win because that can compensate other matches where you play fantasically well, deserve to win and you don’t.”
Redknapp, meanwhile, has praised Rangers for their defending, admitting that he was worried about Chelsea’s corners ahead of the match.
