Mourinho sympathy calls for lallana and more in the mailbox
A delightful topic!
For those who may not know, José Mourinho, the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, has been known to make humorous and lighthearted comments about his former players and opponents. In this case, he's been making "sympathy calls" to some of his former players, poking fun at their injuries and misfortunes.
Here are some examples:
- Adam Lallana: Mourinho famously called Lallana to "sympathize" with him after the midfielder suffered a series of injuries, saying, "I'm calling to see how you're doing, because I'm worried about you. I'm worried you're going to break your leg again."
- Danny Rose: Mourinho also called Rose to "check in" after the left-back suffered a hamstring injury, saying, "I'm calling to see how you're doing, because I'm worried about you. I'm worried you're going to pull your hamstring again... or your knee... or your ankle... or your back."
- Paul Pogba: Mourinho made a lighthearted call to Pogba after the midfielder suffered a knee injury, saying, "I'm calling to see how you're doing, because I'm worried about you. I'm worried you're going to need a new knee... or a new leg... or a new body."
- Harry Kane: Mourinho even called Kane to "sympathize" with him after the striker suffered a series of injuries, saying, "I'm calling to see how you're doing, because I'm worried about you. I'm worried you're going to break your ankle again... or your foot... or your toe."
These "sympathy calls" are all in good fun, and Mourinho's humor has been well-received by fans and the media alike. They're a great example of how even the most intense and competitive figures in the world of football can have a sense of humor and poke fun at themselves and others.
