Teams who don't tcounter attack are stupid

The Chelsea boss says football is about winning,
not possession, while he also confirmed that the
Blues will sign a striker this summer with Radame
Falcao on his wishlist
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says
that managers who are dedicated to possession
football instead of counter-attacking are “stupid”.
The Premier League champions faced plenty of
criticism en route to their latest title, dubbed
boring after a series of defensive performances,
notably against Arsenal.
But Mourinho believes counter-attacking is a
fundamental part of any successful team and has
hit out at the obsession with possession football.
“There is no new generation of
managers,”
Mourinho told the Sunday Times .
“What it is, is people who got some idea, some
philosophy, and want to create something like, ‘w
build very well from the back, we have a very goo
ball possession, we don't play counter-attack’.
“But if you don't play counter-attack then it's
because you are stupid. Counter-attack is a
fantastic item of football, an ammunition that you
have, and when you find your opponent
unbalanced you have a fantastic moment to score
a goal.
“So I think people are creating illusions and it has
influenced public opinion. But football will never
change. Football is to win.”
Mourinho is pushing for Chelsea to sign Radamel
Falcao as a replacement for Didier Drogba, and th
coach reiterated his desire to add to his
strikeforce.
“We will be better. I don't see our team losing
players,” he said of Chelsea’s summer transfer
plans.
“We lost a striker who scored four goals in the
Premier League, but three of these goals meant
important points for us. So we have to buy a
striker because we want to have three strikers of a
good level.”t
