Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho
has refused to discuss the relationship between him and Andre
Villas-Boas in the public, but suggested that he doesn’t care and
certainly least interested to what the Spurs manager has to say. Villas-Boas claimed earlier that although Mourinho holds a special
place in his career but he doesn’t keep any contact with him anymore. The Portuguese started his career under the tutelage of Mourinho during the Special One’s time at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan but the pair now shares a frosty relationship between them.
Ahead of Chelsea’s trip to Tottenham this weekend at the White Hart Lane, Mourinho said as quoted in the Sky Sports:
“I don’t discuss this with the media. it’s a personal thing. I
don’t care what he says. I’m not here to do that. I’m not interested.
“I managed a Champions League
final against a manager who was important in my career and taught me to
grow up and I did it in a professional way. And that is a way you have
to do it.
“I have had so many assistants in my career. I was always an open
book to them and with the coaches in the academy. Will I go for a glass
of wine with him? When people invite me I always go. I never refuse.
“But I have nothing more to say on this.”
Mourinho has confirmed that Ramires is still in the squad but said
the Brazilian midfielder hasn’t trained and therefore is doubtful for
the tie against Spurs.
However, Mourinho has considered Spurs as a potential title
challenger this season as says he likes playing against them, because of
the big rivalry between the two clubs.
