Angry Mourinho 'congratulates' referee Dean

Sunday, April 20 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Chelsea manager José Mourinho described referee Mike Dean's performance as 'unbelievable' after his unbeaten home record in the Premier League was ended by Sunderland in a 2-1 defeat. On-loan Liverpool striker Fabio Borini scored a late penalty to dent the Blues' title hopes and provides a huge boost to Brendan Rodgers' side.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): José Mourinho, Chelsea manager:

    "No, just to say that I will not wait for your questions, I am so sorry about it, but in [a] quick four points I can say everything I want to say, so I am not going to waste time because every question you can ask me I will answer exactly the same way, so we stick with four quick points. The first point is to congratulate my players, they did everything they could. They fought, they played from the first to the last, to the last second, and I think they deserve that. Sometimes we praise the players when we win, I think it's fair to praise my players after a defeat. Secondly, congratulations to Sunderland. It doesn't matter how, or why, or in which way they won, but they won, they won the three points, and three fantastic points for them, so I think it's also fair to congratulate them. The third point, I want to congratulate again but this time is Mike Dean (the match referee). I think his [Mike Dean's] performance was unbelievable, and I think when referees they have unbelievable performances I think is [sic] fair as managers we give them this ['praise']. So, fantastic performance, you come here with one objective -- the objective of make a fantastic performance -- and he did that. And fourth, I think it's also fair, congratulations to Mike Riley (head of Premier League match officials), because he is the referees' boss and what they are doing during [the] whole season is fantastic, especially in the last couple of months, especially in matches involved the team that are in the title race, it's absolutely fantastic. And I also congratulate Mr Mike Riley. Thank you."
