Chelsea boss Mourinho takes aim at Tottenham's 'dirty tactics'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Tottenham's players ahead of the Capital One Cup final. Mourinho used his pre-match press conference to crank up the pressure on Spurs.

He said: "I don't believe anyone involved in this game doesn't want to do their best. I believe all three teams (Chelsea, Spurs and the match officials) will go with the same ambition to do very well.

"Hopefully, even the players that like to complicate things, even these players try to make the final a big final.

"(I'm talking about) the players that dive looking for fouls, players that dive looking for cards, the players that almost every two or three matches are simulating and pretending they were under aggression.

"You know exactly the same as I know. We are in the same industry and the same country. You don't need me to say names because you know the same as I know."
