Top 5 quotes that prove Jose Mourinho is a hypocrite

#2 "Other managers, they cry, they cry, they cry when some player is injured. I don't cry"

Mourinho and Conte don't always see eye-to-eye

If he's not tearing into match officials or modern media, Mourinho's other favoured group to reprimand is that of his fellow football managers, none more so perhaps than one of his successors at Chelsea, Antonio Conte.

Mourinho's aforementioned quote was quite clearly directed towards the Italian, who had expressed his frustration at having lost the likes of David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko to injury prior to a Champions League encounter with Roma in October.

It is an undeniably petulant and short-sighted comment on Mourinho's part; every manager complains about injuries, that's just how football works. As far as moaning goes, few are better at it than Mourinho himself, a sentiment echoed by Charlie Nicholas. The pundit claimed back in October, "he cried all last year and moaned all last season at Manchester United. He actually got it to a fine art at one stage".

One must only go as far back as April last year to a prime example of this 'moaning' about injuries when Mourinho showed little sympathy towards Luke Shaw and his long-term casualty, choosing instead to suggest it was difficult because his side were particularly vulnerable to injuries. The Portuguese claimed, "at the moment we cannot walk from the bed to the toilet without breaking a leg."
