Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini slammed Jose Mourinhos tactics for yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Chelsea left with a draw after substitute Frank Lampard scored a late equaliser against his former club to cancel out Andre Schurrles goal. It think we played 90 minutes against a small team trying to defend, trying to keep 10 players in front of their goal, and (we were) a team that wanted to win from the beginning, Pellegrini said. I think we played against exactly the same team we played against Stoke here. It was very difficult for us to score but finally we did score. I dont want to analyse Chelsea. What the other teams do, it is not my duty to analyse. Mourinho, whose relationship with Pellegrini dating back to their time in Spain could be described as frosty at best, rejected the accusations. Many times he says he never speaks about me and my team but he keeps doing the same thing, said the Portuguese. I am the one that does as he says. I dont comment on his words. Dont ask me about his words, I am not interested in that. It is one point won because we arrived here leaders with two points more than second and we leave the stadium with a three-point lead. I dont look to direct opponents, I dont look to other clubs in a special way. I look to the table and we are leaders by three points.
