ON CHELSEA'S DRAW AGAINST BURNLEY "What can I say that everybody doesn't know? There are things in matches where there is space for discussion and different explanations and points of view. There are actions where there is only one point of view. "Yesterday I was saying in a press conference that commentators, pundits and people in the media naturally are a bit disturbed when you have a clear caller. I can't imagine that the four incidents of this game are open to interpretation. "It is what it is. I think if you say it in a way where you go over the line with your comments, I think it's understandable but if you just say what is obvious, without attacking the integrity of the people, if you're just honest and objective in your comments then it shouldn't be a problem. "At half-time, Burnley should be playing with 10 men and Chelsea should have two penalties. Normally, we win 3-0 or let's put in the possibility of missing one of the penalties - we win 2-0 and play against 10 men. The reality is that in the end, we play with 10 men and lost two points. "The arm stopped the ball from hitting the target. There is no space for interpretation. He's far away - he's not a metre or a few inches. The ball is hitting the target. The players are taught to try to keep their balance, even in difficult situations in the box. Difficult biomechanical actions in putting the arms behind the body. "For me, it's a penalty everywhere. "The best players in the world can make mistakes. They miss penalties. The best goalkeepers make mistakes. This gentlemen is one of the top referees in European football. He can also make mistakes. He made important mistakes yesterday. "I know to be a referee is so difficult. Sometimes I referee in the training session and I ask for assistance. But there are situations that are not open to interpretation." ON BARNES-MATIC TACKLE "This could be end of career. Because I can't find another adjective stronger. I just say this is end of career. Matic is a lucky guy. "Another club would maybe have the power to appeal and as I was listening yesterday to people with some good feeling of honesty. It comes from people without any connection with Chelsea and comes from people with miles and miles on the pitch at a high level. "I can't find the word to describe what that player did. I can clearly understand that football is about emotions and sometimes you lose emotions. Clearly Matic had a reason to lose his emotions. What could be the consequence of his push for the other player? Nothing. The consequence for Matic could be end of career. "If you're asking me about the five points difference I would say if we're in a normal situation where mistakes are part of the game at this point we are talking about the points at Tottenham, the points at Southampton and we would be 12 points ahead." ON SKY SPORTS "If you look at these moments you know exactly what I think about the game. "When I finished at the game against Liverpool, I went to the dressing room and the first thing I saw on the big screen, reading non-stop - 'Diego Costa crimes'," he said. "I would like to know how to you, Sky Sports, describe the actions of the Burnley player yesterday? My English is not good enough to find a word. "When you think 'Diego crimes' after he puts his boot on a hand, when this is 'Diego crimes', the minimum you have to say is 'criminal tackle'. "Did you apologise to Chelsea, to Diego or myself? You didn't. As an institution, Sky is so important in the Premier League, you never apologise. "When Diego Costa has a three-match ban, probably three matches to Matic... tell me how many matches this player deserves?" "I don't like the fact you start immediately, in that moment, the public judgement of the player," he added with regard to the Costa coverage. You gave no space to the people that have to decide, the pressure was so much. "You don't do this with every club, with every player. Last year, Yaya Toure against Norwich, you didn't have the same approach; (Robin) van Persie against West Ham, you didn't have the same approach. "This one (on Saturday) was even worse. This can be end of career. Matic is a very lucky guy. ON TECHNOLOGY "If the referee can't see a penalty three metres in front of him, an official in front of a screen can't miss it. If we want to protect the integrity of the referee and believe that the mistake is the consequence of misinterpretation or a bad position, I think technology can help. ON NEWCASTLE v MACNHESTER CITY "Newcastle aren't the kind of team to go to the home of a big one and try to make it difficult. They're comfortable at home and obviously 5-0 was a huge result but I was expecting it."
