Chelsea would do the same thing (as much as i hate Mourinho) he would not allow his team to become a circus just providing eye catching entertainment and made sure he would always sure up his midfield with players that would have just enough skill to get them
out of trouble as quick as they got into it but whose game was more about physical endeavour and forward momentum and used the likes
of Ramirez and Willian to great effect
whilst allowing only one player, Hazard to have creative freedom and even then he warned him
of just how much he should do and when he should do it...
keeping him in check.
