Dan Brown book pitch – “The Mourinho Enigma”

By way of explanation of Chelsea’s 1-1 draw at home to Burnley this afternoon, Jose Mourinho opted to tout numbers rather than anything of actual relevance.

Chelsea squandered an early lead after the Clarets scored an 81st minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge.

But it wasn’t the 81st minute that “The Special One” was interested in, nor the 70th minute in which Nemanja Matic was sent off.

Rather it was “minutes 30, 33, 43 and 69.”

The chancer sure knows how to intrigue a football fan doesn’t he?
