Mikel: Mourinho 'f*cked up' with 'clumsy' Vinicius Jr comment

Ex-Nigeria international Mikel, who played under Mourinho at Premier League giants Chelsea, told his Obi One Podcast: “What I expected to hear from my old boss, from my gaffer [was] ‘Yes it is under investigation, but there is not place for racism there, there is no place for such thing, but let’s wait until it is concluded, there is no place for that’.” He said it was “a clumsy, clumsy comment from Jose Mourinho” for the manager to say “Oh yeah, Vinicius Jr shouldn’t have celebrated the way he did,” and added: “He will be the first, he knows, he will be the first to know ‘I’ve f*cked up here’.” Mikel went on: “I don’t know the reason why he hasn’t apologised, but I expect him to come out at some point and make a statement.
