Jose Mourinho suggests Tottenham Hotspur have 'regular divers' in squad

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho suggests that there are players within the Tottenham Hotspur team who regularly "dive".

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that there are players within Tottenham Hotspur's team who regularly "dive".

The Portuguese coach refused to identify the players he was referring to, but is hopeful that both teams will be on their best behaviour in Sunday's Capital One Cup final.

"Hopefully, even the players who like to complicate things, hopefully even these players will try to make the final a big final," Mourinho said in today's press conference.

When asked to explain who he was speaking about, Mourinho added: "The players who dive looking for fouls, for cards. The players who, not week after week, but almost every two or three matches are simulating and pretending aggressions.

"You know what I know. We are in the same industry in the same country. You know the names. You know what I know."

Chelsea defeated Liverpool to reach the final at Wembley, while Tottenham Hotspur overcame Sheffield United across two legs.
