José Mourinho has revealed that Brendan Rodgers called him to congratulate him on his Chelsea side’s win at Liverpool on Sunday.

Rodgers had accused the west Londoners of “parking two buses” at Anfield in his post-match news conference after the Blues secured a 2-0 victory to end his side’s 11-game winning streak and dent their Premier League title hopes.

But Mourinho, who Rodgers worked under as a coach during his first stint in charge at Stamford Bridge, says that the Northern Irishman was in a more philosophical mood two days after the loss.

“You know, pundits are pundits and I don’t want to comment a lot,” said Mourinho.

“Brendan is a manager and he’s somebody who I consider my friend. I met him a long time ago when he was a very young coach, coaching kids – and I consider him a friend.

“I know his words after the match but I also know his words today, and today he told me, ‘Congratulations for a great victory and a great performance’.

“So especially because he’s someone who I consider a friend and that I like, I forget the words after the match and I keep the words of today.

“I think after the match he watched it on video and saw what happened.”

Some of the comments on bbc are hilarious: He has no defence, no midfield, no attack yet still got to the CL semi. Of course he is still the special one

My word, he really sold it to the people didnt he. That he never spent a penny at Chelsea. Wow

Consider the squad he's got. Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Salah, Matic etc. and he is getting pity Those five players cost nearly as much as our whole starting XI.

Launched onto Hazard in his press conference

Mourinho on Hazard: "He is not the kind of player ready to sacrifice himself 100% for the team." #CFC

Asked if he was happy with Hazard's defensive commitment, he told reporters: "No, I'm not happy. He needs to improve."

Trying to completely shift the blame of the semi final loss on to Hazard.

Watch the media swoon with him. Mind games blah blah blah.

We should stick a bid in if the lad wants to play attacking football

What a mess he's gotten into. Openly slagging off his star player to deflect the blame from himself. Nice guy.

Buy one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe – complain he cant park the bus properly. Lol.

What a prick he is.

Or he wants a reaction from Hazard.

Nah, he's just pissed off about Hazards comments after the match.

Don't fall into the ******s trap and over analyze his **** as "mind games".

I can just hear Darren Gough on TalkSport later calling it "genuis man management from Mourinho"

It's not, it's toys out of the pram, egotistical hissy fit time from Jose. Very rarely does that type of public flogging of a player reap rewards.

Some damning comments there from the Special One

[danperkins]

Mourinho really has taken things to the next level this season with the things he has said. He always talked some **** but he's gone off his rocker this season.

He's thrown him under the (parked) bus.
