Grandmother of Chelsea striker hits out at LVG, Mourinho

Radamel Falcao's grandmother has pointed the finger at Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.


The Colombian striker's 'abuela' believes that the Manchester United boss and Chelsea manager are both to blame for 29-year-old's poor run of form of late.

Of the current Chelsea loanee, Dona Denis King Garcia told El Universal: "I do not understand what happened.

"After the injury he suffered last year before the World Cup he has tried to return and has played some good matches; but I also think the coaches he has worked with have not been explicit with him.

"You have to show confidence in him because that is the only way he can return to what he used to be [before his injury].

"At first he was used a lot, but after that he has been used very little; in those 10 or 15 minutes he's being given he can't do anything.

"And so it is very difficult for him. You have to give him more time to do what he does best."
