One more time, Jose Mourinho blasted coach Manuel Pellegrini. Following last Sunday's meeting between their two sides, this time "The Special One" criticized his colleague for complaining about Mark Clattenburg's performance. Furthermore, Pellegrini enraged Mourinho after criticizing Chelsea's playing style, saying The Blues played "like a small team" against The Citizens. Today, Mourinho responded to his colleague's words:
"It was not once, not twice, not three times he told everyone he doesn't speak about referees, and he kills Clattenburg. Then, three or four times he says he doesn't speak about me or my teams: he did it once more. It's for you to comment. When I said I didn't want to speak about him, that's what I try to do," Mourinho told the press.
Pellegrini said last Sunday that the referees decisions had cost Manchester City crucial points earlier this season against Arsenal, and remembered some bad calls against Liverpool last year.
"Don't speak with me. If you want a story, speak with him. I'm a man of my word. I don't want to discuss any situation and speak about him," Chelsea's boss stated.
On tomorrow's match against Aston Villa, Mourinho said the only player not available to play tomorrow is Ramires. Furthermore, Mourinho confirmed Diego Costa is fit to play, but didn't ellaborate on whether he will start the game or not.
