Mourinho who is no stranger to controversy was at it again after the draw against the struggling Sassuolo.

As reported on Sky Sports, the former Chelsea boss brutally criticized an unnamed player, saying his efforts betrayed the whole team.

"It disappoints me because the effort the squad made was betrayed by one player because of an unprofessional attitude. He betrayed the effort everyone else made.” He said.

"I have already told him in the changing room, something I don't often do because normally after games I don't speak in the changing room. I had 16 players out there tonight and I was happy with the attitude of 15 of them.

Who was Mourinho talking about?

It remains somewhat of a mystery the player Mourinho was talking about in his rant, but according to Sky Itallia, the player under fire was right-back Rick Karsdorp.
