'I refuse to praise him!': Jose Mourinho STILL won't tell Tammy Abraham he's done a good job - despite England striker firing Roma into first European final in 31 years with his 25th goal of the season - because 'he needs to work this hard in every game'

Jose Mourinho doubled down on his refusal to praise star striker Tammy Abraham last night despite his goal sending Roma to their first European final in 31 years.

While crying tears of joy at the full-time whistle over his team's remarkable achievement, Mourinho could not fully dispose of his curmudgeonly side when speaking after the game about Abraham.

The ex-Chelsea and England player has reignited his flagging career since switching to the Stadio Olimpico, where he has fast become a cult hero after notching up 25 goals in his debut season.
