Jose Mourinho Explain why he had the touchline confrontation with Chelsea managers Frank Lampard

The two managers exchanged some words during the Carabao Cup game and Mourinho insists he has no problems with and still holds affection for his former player.

However, he does not believe the way in which Lampard behaves during the games helps his team.

"With Frank, the most important thing is my feelings towards him rather than any words we exchanged," Jose Mourinho said, as quoted by Goal.

"I owe him everything he gave me, he always gave me everything he had as a player and I never forget that. My feelings towards him will always be feelings of how much I owe him for how much of an incredible player, friend he was.

"The only thing I was telling him, just an opinion of an old coach to a young talented coach, which was when the players need us it is when they are losing, when they are winning we don't need to be the protagonists of the touchline, we need to be there when they are losing.

"In the last match when they were losing 3-0, I felt really sorry for him because he was sad and quiet in his chair. In terms of football I can't teach him anything, he knows football, it is just an opinion, stay on the touchline when your team is losing and stay calm when your team is winning."

During the first half when things were relatively bright for Chelsea, the mentor and his student had a few words on the touchline. However, Mourinho went to shake hands with Lampard and his coaching staff before the shootout, so there should be no hard feelings between them.
