Benfica should be able to understand Jose Mourinho if in the end they were defeated by Chelsea because after all he had just been appointed as a coach and certainly needed time to manage the team to be better and directly facing ...
Not only Benfica, many out there are yet to come to this realisation and so they do throw tantrums at Mourinho because they expect some kind of magic from him at once forgetting he can only do within a certain capacity at a time, he has not spent upto a season and yet the expectations be so high that even against top European teams, they just make some unrealistic expectations, the current for of Chelsea is such that even with the time, Mourinho may not be able to still meet up because they have a continued improvement progression.
I agree with what you’re saying... Benfica fans and the board really need to be more patient. Mourinho is a top-level coach with massive experience, but even he can’t rebuild a squad and take it to the highest level in just a few weeks or months.
Chelsea, as it stands, is nothing like the team he managed previously - new style, new players, and most importantly, steady progress.
Give him a season and a proper transfer window - only then it makes sense to evaluate what Mourinho can really do. Right now, the attacks on him are more emotional than logical.
