Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has enjoyed the banter at Premier League grounds this season. Since his return, the manager has again regularly heard the 'f*** off, Mourinho' chant aimed in his direction.
But he has revealed that he loves the attention, which he describes as 'pure hostility'.
He told the Guardian: "I enjoy playing at home, feeling the Chelsea fans' passion, that they are happy to have me on their side; but I also enjoy playing away and feeling the opponents support their own team, giving me that hostility.
"It's a pure hostility. It's not aggressive. If Chelsea fans at Norwich are singing: 'Jose Mourinho', and the other guys sing 'f*** off Mourinho', I don't think it's aggressive hostility.
"It's better than them ignoring me. If, one day, I was Norwich manager, they'd be singing my name too. It's pure.
"Here, even the hostility is different. More tongue in cheek. When I'm not winning I'm 'not special any more'. I understand that and I like it."
