Jose Compares PSG To Shrewsbury

We think it's fair to assume that Jose Mourinho was unimpressed with the tactics employed by Laurent Blanc during Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League second round tie.

Mourinho's men were lucky to escape from the French capital with a draw after Thibaut Courtois repeatedly repelled the likes of Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, following Blanc's comments on Diego Costa using dirty tricks to provoke his men, Mourinho responded in typically bullish fashion.

"I thought an English team would never be surprised by aggression, because of the aggression we have in our country.

"This season we've played against sides from the Championship in the Cups, against teams from League One, and Shrewsbury from League Two, but the most aggressive team was PSG.

"For me, that was a real surprise. With players of such quality, I was expecting more football and less aggression.

"A team with fantastic players was the team with a record number of fouls, was the team making foul after foul, was the team which stopped Hazard with fouls all the time."
