Mourinho: Opinionated

Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Rafael Benitez, claiming the new Chelsea boss' mind was on the Real Madrid job instead of the Blues' Club World Cup final.

The two managers have been known to clash on several occasions in the past, with Mourinho's latest comments coming on the back of reports linking Benitez with succeeding the Portuguese tactician at the La Liga champions.

The Blues boss revealed: "I know things, but I am not going to say anything about Real Madrid because I don't think I should."

The current Galacticos coach was less than impressed with those comments, and went on to redirect the conversation by claiming the west Londoners' 1-0 defeat to Corinthians may have been down to a lack of focus from his counterpart.

Mourinho said: "As a Chelsea fan, all I can say is that I hope he wasn't thinking about Real Madrid during the Corinthians game."

Benitez was appointed Chelsea boss earlier this year, although his deal at Stamford Bridge is a temporary one and is set to expire at the end of the current season.
