“The pundit has to use the head to understand when you speak about tactics,” the Coach was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

“I think you must have knowledge to speak about tactics and not only to speak in a stupid way.

“You have to accept every criticism but I am not so stupid to play against Manchester City open and to lose 3-0 or 4-0.

“If I remember well, Arsenal played twice against them and then you [media] criticise a lot [Arsène] Wenger because they concede three goals in only 30 minutes.”

The Blues are now five points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who occupy the final Champions League spot in the Premier League.
