Jose Mourinho Denies Criticism Of England Manager Fabio Capello And Threatens Legal Action
Portuguese claims he never made widely distributed comments...
By Zack Wilson
The Portuguese was quoted by The Daily Mirror as stating that the Three Lions' problems at the World Cup this summer were down to Capello.
"The problem is the manager. Capello will not work for England," The Mirror quoted the coach as saying.
"He has a one-track relationship with players. Ask anyone here at Real Madrid. He can't change. You cannot go around just shouting at players. They need to feel special.
"It is clear. Capello will not work for England. He does not know the players. They are frightened of him and they can't play for him."
However, Mourinho has issued as statement to the Spanish media distancing himself from those remarks through his spokesperson Eladio Parames.
"The interview published today by The Daily Mirror is completely false," the statement reads.
"Jose Mourinho never spoke to the newspaper, that's why he categorically denies having said what was written."
Mourniho was also quoted as slamming Liverpool, claiming that they were getting "worse and worse" and that star Steven Gerrard could never hope to win anything whilst at Anfield.
His representative confirmed that the Portuguese is considering legal action against The Mirror.
