Premier League - 'Petulant' Mourinho under fire after Chelsea ban Carneiro
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has come under severe criticism for his treatment of club doctor Eva Carneiro, who has been axed from matchday duties by the club.
WHAT HAPPENED
Mourinho was annoyed with his medical staff for entering the pitch to treat midfielder Eden Hazard in the third minute of stoppage time during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. With goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois already off the pitch after seeing red on 52 minutes, the Blues briefly went down to nine men after the staff ran on to treat Hazard.
An irate Mourinho suggested after the match that his medical staff did not understand the game. "I wasn't happy with them because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game," he said. "I was sure that Eden didn't have a serious problem. He had a knock and was very tired.
"My medical department left me with eight fit outfield players in a counterattack after a set piece and we were worried we didn't have enough players left. I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive."
"My medical department left me with eight fit outfield players in a counterattack after a set piece and we were worried we didn't have enough players left. I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive."
Carneiro later posted on Facebook to thank the public for their support, which is unlikely to have amused Chelsea, or indeed Mourinho.
HOW CHELSEA REACTED
Quickly and firmly: Carneiro is set to lose her place on the bench for Sunday's trip to Manchester City.
Carneiro is still the first-team doctor and will continue working with the squad on a daily basis but her responsibilities at the club will be scaled back, according to reports. She will no longer attend training sessions, matches or enter the team hotel.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
Sam Wallace, The Independent:
The message, in the case of Eva Carneiro, seems to be that if you cross Jose Mourinho at Chelsea then, as ever, there can be just one outcome: you are marginalised and, in the long term, out the door. Length of service or reputation does not matter one bit. The club are well aware that the fallout from the Carneiro case will not portray them in a good light. With all her major duties removed – on-field care during matches, even a presence on the training field at Cobham – it means that Carneiro, the club’s first-team doctor, is expected to leave sooner rather than later... In the context of life at Chelsea that [Facebook post] looked provocative, given how much the club discourages backroom staff from make
any public pronouncements. It appeared that these nondescript few words of gratitude had sealed Carneiro’s fate and her time at Chelsea was as good as up... The reasons for her demotion lie squarely at the feet of Mourinho, who will have his rationale for a decision that he knows will make life very difficult for his club over the next few days. Whether any of it makes sense, beyond a truculent assertion of his power at the club, remains to be seen.
WHAT A FUCKING SPOILT JUMPED UP LOWLIFE HE IS,
hope he gets hurt on the pitch or dugout and needs her help and goes sorry im off,
