Mourinho said: “I think it’s a very sad accusation because you are accusing the players, or more than one player – I don’t know what to report – of dishonesty”.
But, speaking ahead of Wednesday’s crucial Champions League game at Stamford Bridge against Ukrainian visitors Dynamo Kiev, Mourinho said his relationship with his players remained “fantastic”.
However, Chelsea captain Terry insists it’s the players – not Mourinho – who must shoulder the blame for their alarming form.

“It’s hard for the refs as well, they’re under the spotlight and they’ve got to make quick decisions”.
The Blues boss added: “For my players I do everything. I always did and I am not going to change”.
The 52-year-old was handed a one-match stadium ban and fined 40,000 pounds ($61,640) by the English Football Association (FA) for comments made to the referee during the 2-1 loss to West Ham United on October 24 and is also now appealing a 50,000 pound fine imposed for criticising referees.
