Jose Mourinho once again exhibited his sense of humour, this time at the expense of the Nigerian International,Mikel Obi. Mikel had scored a goal in the game against Derby County on Saturday in the FA Cup.Mourinho reacted,'I never recognise his ability to score goals!' the Portuguese laughed.
'I recognise his ability to play as an anchorman, to play that position in a very comfortable way, with no mistakes. He reads the game well, plays in an intelligent and safe way, but I never recognise his goalscoring appetite.
'There was a smile on my face [when he scored]. For some reason Essien gave him the armband, normally it should go to Ashley Cole, so maybe it made him believe he was a goalscorer!
'It was important for us, we were dominating and dominating, creating and creating but the goal was not arriving. It was like the winning goal.'
