We are forever hearing fresh new insights from players who have worked under Jose Mourinho, and today brings out a rather crazy story from one.
Jiri Jarosik was considered a flop at Chelsea by many, but he claims it was Mourinho who bought him to the club, in an interview with Planet Football.
Sources: The situation between Jorginho and Chelsea right now!
But for this story I don’t want to home in on that for now, I want to speak about his other claim about Mourinho, which is really quite bizarre!
He says that after a bad performance, the players expected a dressing down from Mourinho. But instead of this, the now Roma boss got out his laptop, and started showing funny videos of ‘fat footballers’ or ‘epic fails’ instead!!
How bizarre.
“Sometimes, Jose might surprise you,” Jarosik said. “I remember us losing two games in a row and everyone worrying that he would absolutely destroy us.
“But instead, he turned on his laptop, found a couple of funny videos featuring fat footballers or some epic football fails and showed it to us. Everybody laughed and that was that. He didn’t say anything, we just went to training.”
Jarosik made just 14 appearances for Chelsea that season, mostly as a substitute, so his Chelsea ‘career’ was hardly memorable. But at least he had some good experience working on Mourinho and has some crazy stories to tell!
