Mourinho defends Begović: When goalkeepers are tired, they have no reflexes

Bosnian national team player Asmir Begović made his debut for London's “Chelsea” last night at the International Champions Cup, where they were defeated by “New York Red Bulls” with a score of 2:4, reports the Patria news agency.

Manager Jose Mourinho said of Asmir Begović that the reason for the poor performance was fatigue.

- He is tired, just like Courtois. When goalkeepers are tired, coordination is low and there are no reflexes. Begović did not react promptly in goal, but that is all a consequence of fatigue. I am happy to have him, and in the match against PSG he will start from the first minute. He will play the first half. There are no problems - Mourinho told the club's website.

Chelsea took the lead in the 26th minute with a goal by Remy after an assist from Oscar, and that was the score at halftime. Castellanos equalised to 1:1 in the 51st minute of the match, and Adams scored for a complete turnaround in the 70th minute. Three minutes later, Davis made it 3:1 for New York. Hazard scored a goal in the 75th minute for 3:2, and the final 4:2 for New York was set by Davis in the 77th minute with his second goal of the match.
