Chelsea assistant Steve Holland says Jose Mourinho was
right to vent his frustration at Cardiff's perceived time wasting on Saturday.
Mourinho was sent to the stands after berating the officials during the 4-1 win
over Cardiff at Stamford Bridge, and then sent Holland to face the media after
the game.
The Chelsea boss and Holland both told fourth official Trevor Kettle
of their unhappiness with Cardiff's tactics on "countless occasions",
without it being acted upon. "His frustration was clear and, in my
opinion, totally justified," Holland said. "Why would it take an hour
before finally an issue was addressed? He showed his frustration and then was
sent to the stands."
Meanwhile Holland also brushed aside Chelsea's
controversial opener that came about when Samuel Eto'o robbed David Marshall as
the goalkeeper bounced the ball, and Eden Hazard netted. "From my point of
view, it looked to me like the goalkeeper was bouncing the ball," Holland
added. "The referee had a very clear view of it and was happy with it and
we move on.
"Over the course of the season, those things go one way or
another for you."
