Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport can't get enough of Jose Mourinho and that's been the case since he was manager at Inter Milan. Mourinho is highly thought of in Italy and, should the manager part company with Chelsea, then a return to Inter at some stage would be look to be an attractive option, albeit one which Roberto Mancini currently stands in the way of.
In their 'Extra Time' supplement on Tuesday, Gazzetta dello Sport split Chelsea players into those for and against Mourinho's continuation at the Premier League club. It's likely to be educated guesswork but they've gone to the extent of designing a nice little graphic, which is more than most have been bothered to do.
The Horsemen of Mourinho's Chelsea Apocalypse are named as Oscar, Nemanja Matic, Radamel Falcao, Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic. Gazzetta's reasoning is a mixture of form, and how Mourinho has been treating those players.
On the Chelsea manager's side are Thibaut Courtois, Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, John Obi Mikel, Ramires, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Kurt Zouma and Asmir Begovic.
We know who would win in a fight, even with the big Serbians apparently against Mourinho.
The Serbian press made a point at the end of the international break of saying that Matic is a very placid character, loyal, and simply not the type to cause trouble, so the perception of him could be wrong.
Eden Hazard and Willian are among a third group of Chelsea players said to not be too fussed either way.
