The Merseyside giants’ controversial front man has been in the headlines again so far this year after an incident involving Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan in a Premier League match at Anfield in January when the player appeared to take a tumble over the American.
And now the self-styled Special One has taken the opportunity to highlight how his own players resisted the chance to do the same thing against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
“We had a big opportunity in the second minute of the game, when other players with other shirts would go for a penalty and a red card for the keeper,” said Mourinho.
“Hazard doesn’t do that. He tries to go away from the keeper and he misses from a difficult angle.
“But other players in this league, in that situation, they attack the keeper. I did not see a video of Eto’o and the penalty but I want to.
“But you know the kings of the penalties, you know where they are – and they’re not here.”
