A new book quotes self-acclaimed Special One, Jose Mourinho calling Real Madrid stars ‘sons of bitches’ before a clasico match in 2011. A year after the Portuguese joined the Spanish club in 2010, he had already believed the players were teaming up against him and spilling his plans to their opponents. He reportedly asked directors to study the phone records of players and club employees.
The book written by sports journalist, Diego Torres is titled, ‘The Dark Side Of Jose Mourinho’. At the eve of Madrid’s Champions League semi-final clash with Barcelona in 2011, the Chelsea boss stormed the dressing room and accused them of leaking the line-up.
Excerpts from the book reads, ‘You’re traitors. I asked you not to speak with anyone about the team selection but you’ve betrayed me. It shows you’re not on my side. You’re sons of bitches. The only friend I have in this dressing room is Granero… and I’m not even sure I can trust him any more. You’ve left me all on my own. You’re the most treacherous squad I’ve had in my life. Nothing more than sons of bitches.’
Casillas reportedly walked out while he was speaking and went to the bathroom. The 53 year-old took a can of Red Bull, smashed it against the wall, knelt down, insulted them again, wiped tears off his face and told them he was going to speak with Real’s President and Director. Before he left, he said, “If I’m in Vietnam and I see you laugh at a mate, I’d grab a gun with my own hands and kill you. Now it’s you yourselves who have to look for the one that leaked the line-up.”
