Mourinho defends Drogba
Jose Mourinho has today defended Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba over the diving issue which has left Chelsea in yet another controversy.
Drogba revealed in a interview he had conned referees by diving before later retracting his admission. The FA are still undecided on what, if any, action they will take over the Ivory Coast striker's remarks but in the meantime, Mourinho has leapt to his defence.
The Striker scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday but the second was clearly brought under control with the help of his hand.
But the diving issue surfaced once more when Drogba when down clutching his eye under a challenge from a city player.
However, the chelsea manager insists Drogba isn't a diver. "It was a big thing - it was a finger very strong in his eye which was completely full of blood," declared Mourinho.
