Is there a right side of the bed for Jose to wake up in anymore?
The Chelsea boss was just not in the form – again – today for another press conference and he didn’t even try to cover it up as he went Marshawn Lynch on us and admitted he was only there because he had to be.
What’s the problem? Did Nick Collins stamp on Emre Can? Did the English media ban Diego Costa?
In one of the most awkward press conferences in a while, Mourinho stunk the place out with tension. Unprovoked. He was just visibly and audibly ticked right off at even the most honest, innocent and lame of questions.
With the very first question, Sky Sports News’ Nick Collins asks him simply how excited he was at the signing of Juan Cuadrado.
“Normal,” Jose responds.
Pressed on the issue, he said he didn’t want to speak about his new signing when, later, he clarifies what position the Colombian could be used in – or, rather, not used.
“Goalkeeper, impossible, because we don’t need him. Central defender, we don’t need and he’s too small.”
The Stamford Bridge boss throws in many a dig at the FA for their decision to suspend Diego Costa throughout. The league leaders head to Villa Park on Saturday where Chelsea lost last year and where Mourinho’s record, surprisingly, hasn’t been good. Asked why he has found the ground tricky, the answer was simple.
“Because the opponents score more goals than us,” he said. “And sometimes the same number of goals as us.”
Someone then reminds him at how annoyed he was last year at Villa Park and afterwards… he isn’t happy at that either and barely responds.
This is such a bad press conference.
