No escape for Jose Mourinho.
Can’t a man hold an impromptu conference with his coaching staff in the middle of a football pitch without having his words interpreted by a lip reader?
It seems not.
Mourinho and his coaching staff held a meeting in the middle of the pitch at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, following Chelsea’s 1-3 loss to Liverpool.
However, the meeting was captured on video, and has been interpreted by lip-readers.
According to The Mirror, Mourinho said: “It’s not … and we need to get it, the next one its really … make sure … must not lose that one next week.”
The discussion then focused on Liverpool player Lucas, who escaped a second booking in the match.
“You know, it’s not good and it’s the sixth (defeat) but the problem was the … he (the referee Mark Clantteburg) didn’t give … the yellow when he … and I don’t know what will happen.”
Mourinho then stressed the importance of unity at such a tough time, before, according to The Mirror, the video cut off.
“But you must all be together and … but I cannot say to them that it’s not, just erm, not right.”
