Inter Milan boss Mourinho slams Napoli president - and Valentine's Day!

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis - and Valentine's Day! After their draw with Napoli, Mourinho was criticised by Hollywood moviemaker De Laurentiis.

But the Special One snapped back: "From talking about men, I must talk about a boy (De Laurentiis) who spoke before me. He talked as if football was Hollywood, and he talks, talks and talks but football is not like that.

"Then for the rest it's all right, the 0-0 is good except the penalty, but I have to forget it, otherwise I have to pay €30,000 a week and I cannot afford it, so I'll forget it."

Asked about Valentine's Day, Mourinho also rapped: "It's a gimmick for the shops, I have nothing to devote to anyone. We talk about football, we're not in Hollywood!"
