Scolari: Mou ‘preparing excuses’

Luiz Felipe Scolari believes Jose Mourinho is preparing excuses for a possible Barcelona-Chelsea clash with his comments about Neymar.

Former Real Madrid boss Mourinho has gone on record as saying he thinks Neymar goes down too easily when he is tackled, something the Brazil national team boss has responded to by saying the Portuguese is getting his excuses in first.

“Mourinho has his own interests and I think he is now playing games so he’ll have an explanation if Barcelona and Chelsea face each other.

“Don’t get me wrong, but Neymar falls down the same as any other player. Chelsea players also fall down,” said Scolari in an interview with TV Globo.
