Mourinho refuses to rule out Madrid reunion

The big Swede forward was linked with a move away from Parc des Princes during the summer but he opted to see out his contract that is billed to expire next summer.

A laughing Costa then either denied throwing the bib at his manager, whose job is precarious given Chelsea’s lowly Premier League position, or suggested his lack of accuracy on the pitch was reflected in his throw.

“People have made a party about this”, he told IBTimes. “If I threw the bib at him it wouldn’t have missed because he was very close”. But as the dressing room loves me nothing happens. Because it’s not normal what they say. “The thing that I’m more happy with apart from the result is the players accepted the challenge of playing to win, even though we only needed a draw”, Mourinho said.

Mourinho himself has been the subject of intense scrutiny, with Chelsea languishing a lowly 14th in the Premier League table, just two points above the relegation zone.

“The truth is that I want the best for Atletico, I always cheer them on from afar”. I know it and it is normal that the manager tries to find different alternatives to win games. Let us know in the comment section below.

The former Arsenal skipper has witnessed a dramatic loss in form this year after he played an instrumental part in delivering Mourinho’s third title at Stamdford Bridge last year, but the Portuguese says he is not alone in underperforming this term.

“Despite things not going well he is not to blame”.

The Spain global was full of praise for the way Chelsea fans have not turned on their team during a hard first half of the season but the comments suggest that an exit at the end of the season back to the Spanish capital is not out of the question.
