Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho criticised the centre referee as Chelsea lost to Werder Bremen in pre-season friendly which Mourinho described as 'a circus'.
Jose Mourinho blamed the referee for turning Chelsea’s pre-season preparations into a ‘circus'
German referee Harm Osmers was in charge as Chelsea lost 3-0 to their Bundesliga opponents, with two of the home side's goals coming from the penalty spot.
Chelsea started with Diego Costa, Fernando Torres, Cesc Fabregas and Thibaut Courtois - and Didier Drogba came on as a second-half substitute - but Mourinho felt the whole afternoon had been a waste of time.
"I learned nothing from this game," Mourinho told Sky Sports News. "Our expectations are not fulfilled because when we decided to have this match here in Bremen we thought about an evolution in difficulty.
"We were expecting a fast game a competitive game but we come here and the referee thought this was a circus for Bremen fans - for them to have fun - and he killed the match.
"This game for us would have been perfect. I like the Werder Bremen team - they are fast, intense and they defend with a lot of people. The opponent is perfect for us to compete today but we couldn't play."
