Wolves boss throws shade at Chelsea with savage dig in pre-match programme notes WWFC
Although few expected any kind of positive result against the reigning European champions, the loss to Wolves was a surprise, and now Lopetegui rubbed some salt into the Blues’ wounds.
“We face what I believe to be one of our toughest opponents at home today against Brentford,” the Wanderers boss wrote in his programme notes for the match.“Brentford are a very special team and they are a very strong team in all phases of the play, whether it’s with the ball or without the ball. “They have good players who know how they want to play, and it’s going to be a very different match to the one we experienced against Chelsea.Lopetegui was full of praise for Thomas Frank’s Brentford, but threw shade on Frank Lampard’s Chelsea
“We’re going to have to put the focus on the difficulties we’re going to have today, for the kind of team Brentford are and the kind of match we are going to face – and we have to be ready for them and what the match needs from our players.” To be fair to the Spaniard, the Premier League table tells the same story, with Brentford [ninth] two places above Chelsea [11th] ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.And few would have predicted that at the start of the season… or that Chelsea would be under their third manager of the season.
