PSG star Luiz calls Mourinho, Blanc ugly
PSG defender David Luiz.
Pre-match press conferences can be awkward affairs with players and coaches always wary of baiting opponents.
But Paris Saint Germain's star defender David Luiz found the perfect way to deflect a question about the merits of his former coach Jose Mourinho and current mentor Laurent Blanc during a recent media call ahead of the PSG-Chelsea Champions League clash.
Asked to compare the rival managers, the curly haired Brazilian decided to focus on their looks rather than their tactical nous, telling his inquisitor: "Well they're both ugly".
The response earned a wry chuckle from several members of the media, before Luiz was asked to translate his Portuguese for the benefit of the masses, who immediately roared with laughter.
The incident was a light moment ahead of a typically tense build-up for the Champion's League clash.
And while we're not sure how it went down with Blanc, it no doubt would have raised a smile from the "Chosen One", Mourinho, who you can bet would have appreciated the tongue in cheek nature of the remark.
