Mourinho Urges Premier League Players To Stop Diving

Mourinho gave the press his take on diving after two of his players were booked for faking contact with their adversaries. Oscar and Ramires both received yellow cards despite the Portuguese’s strong believe that there is no place for such behavior in modern football.

Chelsea’s manager was on the same page with the referees that booked his players. He also mentioned the fact that their strictness should extend across all the Premier League matches, thus hinting towards the fact that other teams are not always punished for their players’ inadequate behavior.

Mourinho tries as much as possible to maintain an impartial perspective being equally critical with both his players and the referees who in his opinion can be too lenient at times. The main point he tried to underline was that Premier League players will have trouble facing referees from countries who take a hardline against simulations.

Mourinho insisted he will have a talk with Ramires and Oscar regarding their recent on pitch behavior. According to ESPN, the Portuguese boss is certain his players will soon embrace his philosophy. He has only been back around for a short time and situations like these are inevitable.
