Did Mourinho just call Dr Eva Carneiro “Filha De Puta”?

The {Special One} clearly slurs Dr Eva Carneiro (Filha De Puta translates to a “whore’s daughter”) as she races to tend to Eden Hazard as he lays injured in the match against Swansea. Jose Mourinho was incensed the Chelsea medical team’s intervention would leave the 10 man side further short handed in preventing the Swans from scoring a match winning goal. He seems to have completely overlooked the fact they were responding to referee Michael Oliver who summoned the medical team, not once but twice.

In fact, it wasn’t just Oliver as Hazard could be seen making that appeal too. This could be a deliberate time wasting tactic on Chelsea’s part but clearly the green signal was given by Oliver for the medical team to go and check on the player and help him with his injury (real or feigned).

Mourinho’s handling of the situation could be called sexist but some of that argument loses its steam because Jon Fearns, the physio also comes in for some harsh treatment. However, there is no doubt his conduct is unprofessional and unpleasant. If everyone expected a nice apology it was not forthcoming and in his press conference, a defensive Mourinho said he had come to speak about football, not anything else and threatened to walk out before issuing a rambling self exoneration about how a player mattered more than a result.
