Mourinho avoided apologising to Carneiro when opening up about their infamous touchline row for the first time in over a decade in his new three-part Netflix docu-series titled MOURINHO, which is released on Tuesday. Mourinho did not apologise after the incident or at the tribunal and there were no signs of an apology in the docu-series either.
'I’m not a doctor, but my eyes know when a player is injured, and they know when a player is not injured,' Mourinho said in the docu-series. 'I knew that he was not injured, but the doctors went to the pitch, and in that moment we were left with nine players.’
John Terry, who was Chelsea's captain during both of Mourinho's stints at Stamford Bridge, claimed it was well known by both players and staff that the manager did not want team doctor's to attend to players unless the injuries looked serious. Speaking in MOURINHO, he said: ‘Medically, he would say unless it’s really, really bad, then they’re [the team doctors] not coming on. That was the understanding for us as players; the medical staff, everyone bought into that.
