Rio Ferdinand blasts ‘bitter’ Jose Mourinho over constant Luke Shaw digs

EURO 2020, Premier League

The left-back is expected to start against Germany and Ferdinand is baffled by Mourinho’s constant criticisms of the player. Mourinho questioned Shaw’s set-piece delivery against Czech Republic recently, describing his corners as ‘dramatically bad’ and Ferdinand believes the Po...

Luke Shaw hits back at Jose Mourinho’s criticism in savage response

EURO 2020
Luke Shaw says that his poor relationship with Jose Mourinho is much worse than most people realise during their spell together at Old Trafford. While Mourinho was in charge at Manchester United he publicly criticised Shaw several times, pulling no punches as he slammed the player's ‘football brain’ and commitment in training sessions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Portuguese manager brought up Shaw’s name after England’s 1-0 victory over Czech Republic at Euro 2020 as well, criticising his delivery from corner kicks. ‘The negative thing I would say is once more they were very poor on attacking corners,’ Mourinho explained on talkSPORT after the victory. ‘The service was dramatically bad. They have so many good players to attack corners....

Fabregas responds to Mourinho’s claim that Eden Hazard was ‘awful’ in training

Premier League
Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has backed up Jose Mourinho’s claim that Eden Hazard possessed a questionable attitude when it came to training. The Spanish star returned to the Premier League in the summer of 2014 from Barcelona and, together with Hazard, helped inspire the team to win the title. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite having built a formidable looking team, Mourinho left the club midway through the following season, having fallen out with some senior players, including Hazard. Speaking earlier this week, Mourinho said that Hazard’s varying levels of application have prevented him from achieving the consistency that would have helped him fully realise his potential. He told talkSPORT: ‘The truth is that amazing player that you...

Mourinho explains why Luke Shaw was ‘very poor’ in England’s win vs Czech Republic

EURO 2020
Jose Mourinho claims Luke Shaw and Kalvin Philips contributed to England’s ‘only negative’ in their 1-0 win over Czech Republic on Tuesday. Gareth Southgate’s side finished top of Group D as Raheem Sterling’s first-half goal was enough to secured a victory at Wembley. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); England are now set to face the second-placed team in Group F, which will be one of France, Germany, Portugal or Hungary. Shaw delivered another superb performance on England’s left flank in their comfortable victory over Czech Republic. But while Mourinho praised him player, he believes the defender was ‘very poor’ with his deliveries at corner kicks. ‘The only negative thing I would say is they were very poor on attacking corners,’ Mourinho said in his po...

Mourinho speaks out on Chelsea’s decision to sell ‘amazing’ Kevin de Bruyne

EURO 2020, Premier League
Jose Mourinho says he recognised Kevin de Bruyne’s potential when he was Chelsea boss and did not want him to leave, saying it was the player who forced his way out of Stamford Bridge. The London club signed a 18-year-old De Bruyne from Genk in 2012 but he played ony nine first-team matches before joining Wolfsburg. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Given De Bruyne’s development over the past decade, his exit from Chelsea does not reflect well on Chelsea or Mourinho but the Portuguese coach has played down his involvement in the move. De Bruyne is currently with the Belgium team at Euro 2020 and helped United top Group B with three victories from three. Mourinho told talkSPORT: ‘Kevin is an amazing player, in this moment he is one of the best players in ...

Mourinho criticises Eden Hazard’s ‘awful’ habit at Chelsea

Premier League, EURO 2020
Jose Mourinho says Eden Hazard was ‘awful’ in training at Chelsea and believes he would be even better if he had a ‘super-professional attitude’. Hazard worked alongside Mourinho for two years during the manager’s second stint at Stamford Bridge and played a vital role in the club’s Premier League title win in 2015. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Belgian has since joined Real Madrid in a £130m deal but has struggled to make an impact for the La Liga giants. And while Mourinho has praised Hazard for his talent, the Portuguese coach believes the forward’s lack of dedication off the field has held him back. ‘The truth is that amazing player that you see is an amazing player with awful training,’ Mourinho told talkSPORT. ‘You can imagine what he co...

Premier League
Granit Xhaka is set to fulfil a huge personal ambition by finally signing for a club managed by Jose Mourinho.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Swiss midfielder joined the Gunners in the summer of 2016 from Borussia Monchengladbach for £35m, but Arsenal will only recoup less than half of that after lowering their demands this week. He has proven to be a divisive figure over the course of his career at the club but has been a mainstay under three consecutive managers, despite some high-profile errors and disciplinary issues. According to ESPN, Xhaka felt his adaptation period under Arsene Wenger was underm...

‘Maybe he goes to Tottenham next!’ – Mourinho ‘very upset’ with Chelsea star

Premier League
Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Mateo Kovacic ahead of his Euro 2020 meeting with England and says he is ‘very upset’ never to have managed the player despite their similar career paths. Since leaving Dinamo Zagreb in 2013, the Croatian has played for three teams all previously managed by Mourinho – Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea – but has never worked under the Portuguese manager. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Their paths have never quite crossed, with Kovacic moving to the teams a few years after Mourinho had departed, with the axed Spurs coach joking that the Chelsea star might end up at Tottenham next. ‘Kovacic I always feel he’s much better than what people think,’ said Mourinho on talkSPORT. ‘And I am very upset with him because he played...

Premier League
Jose Mourinho took aim at Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford as he named his England starting lineup ahead of the team's opening Euro 2020 game with Croatia this weekend.
