Even Viggo Mortensen is laying the boot into Jose Mourinho now

If José Mourinho is tired of listening to critics in the press and Sky Sports, maybe he'll pay attention to the king of Middle Earth

Actor Viggo Mortensen is the latest, and somewhat unexpected, member of the 'campaign' against the poor, down-trodden Chelsea manager, with the Lord of the Rings star sticking the boot in following the Blues' Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain. The Real Madrid fan told Grantland of his distaste for Mourinho:

Well, there’s a real character whom I loathe but find entertaining — José Mourinho, the coach of Chelsea. I like Real Madrid, and when Mourinho coached them, he basically destroyed the team psychologically. The damage he did to the fan base and the whole structure of the club will last for a while.'

Mortensen was full of praise, however, for PSG's resilience, criticising Mourinho's negative tactics.

Chelsea had the advantage of an away goal in their first match, and it was unlikely that things were going to go well for Paris. Then partway through the first half, Paris unfairly had a player thrown out. Chelsea should have creamed them. But it ended up being an epic 120 minutes, with comeback after comeback, and even though Paris was playing with a numerical disadvantage, they kept playing really beautiful, pure football, and Chelsea was just playing not to lose. It was great, dramatic. It was almost like watching a movie.

We expect José to begin poking holes in Viggo's acting performances by the end of the day.
