‘I hope the referee does his job’ – Mourinho wary of Stoke clash

Chelsea referee Jose Mourinho has called on the match day referee Neil Swarbrick to fully take charge of the game at Britania. Britania Stadium has not been a good hunting ground fro Chelsea after losing 3-2 last time out.
“With a good referee that can understand what is aggressivity, or when the aggression finishes and the rules of the game start, this will be no problem at all,” Mourinho told reporters.
“We need a good referee, yes. A good, experienced referee who can understand exactly that. What happens in both boxes in this kind of match needs important decisions: what is aggressivity, and what goes beyond the rules of the game. That is important.

“I speak with Courtois and we prepare him, but the referee is there, and the referee has to know what is allowed and what is not allowed, according to the rules of the game. And the rules of the game are the same everywhere. So it should be no problem.
“I know it’s difficult for every team to play this kind of match [at Stoke], and we are no exception. But, again, I’m not worried. The referee is there exactly to judge what is aggression, and welcome aggression – the pure one – makes the game much more beautiful. He’s there to referee, not me.” he said.
