Former Portugal star Deco has praised Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's ability to play games with the press to suit his own needs.
Former Chelsea midfielder Deco has hailed Jose Mourinho's ability to use the press to his own advantage.
The 52-year-old has made headlines on more than one occasion this campaign with controversial comments about match officials, fellow managers and players.
Mourinho again grabbed the limelight on Sunday when he launched a seven-minute rant after Chelsea's loss versus Southampton, but Deco believes the former Real Madrid coach knows exactly what is he doing.
"Mourinho is probably the only coach that knows the press really well and he manages to use them to his own advantage," Deco told ESPN.
