Chelsea park the bus badly at PSG

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been
accused of parking the bus in
matches and his side are seemingly
better at doing it on the pitch than in
the car park.
Ahead of the Blues' meeting with Paris
St-Germain at Parc des Princes on
Tu
esday night, images emerged of their
team coach lodged in a gangway on its
entrance to the stadium.
Mourinho, who has also criticised other
teams for parking the bus, will hope his
defenders can move more nimbly than
their method of transport when they face
the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edison
Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi .
The timing of Chelsea's somewhat
chaotic entry to PSG's home comes three
days after the French champions dished
out a tongue-in-cheek tweet when they
were 2-0 up against Caen on Saturday.
PSG were "forced to park the bus"
according to their account. Much like the
Chelsea bus driver's effort they were
found wanting as Caen scored twice in
the closing minutes to level.
Parking the bus has become synonymous
with teams playing defensively, usually
when they are intending to draw the
game or defend a narrow margin.
