Lazio veteran Pedro insists he has no problem with Roma coach Jose Mourinho.

His former Chelsea manager branded him a 'swimmer' after the Rome derby last week.

Pedro said, “We all know what Mou is like, he has also done it in the past. He says one thing, he says another. I remember when we won against his Real Madrid he said other things, when we beat his United 4-0 – I was at Chelsea – he said even more.

“Last year, in the Rome derbies, he said even more. It's always like this, when he doesn't talk about the referee, he talks about the schedule, about a player who throws himself to the ground.

“I know him very well, he's a very funny man. I took it with great fairness because I know he uses words to diffuse the great tension of the derby. I know him very well, having had him as a coach."
