Mourinho wants final to be spectacle to remember
Mourinho is still struggling to name 16 first-team players for the showpiece event – the first at the new Wembley. But as he tries to patch up a squad ravaged by injuries, the Portuguese coach insists he wants the final be be a sporting event to remember with no ‘diving’ or ‘provocative tactics’ by players on either side in an attempt to fool referee Steve Bennett.
Mourinho declared: “Everybody has a responsibility in the final, everybody — me, Sir Alex, the players, referee Mr Bennett and his assistants. “I will be very sad and disappointed if the final is not a good event, a fair event, without problems, with a good winner and proud loser.
