Mourinho said yesterday: “I will not play this game. If someone does not respect Chelsea or myself then that is their problem – I will not get involved.
“I respect Real Madrid and Fabio Capello and, for sure, I spoke with nobody and nobody spoke with me.
“I do not think a big club like Real or a big coach like Fabio deserve this sort of thing.
“I will not play this game. If others want to, that is up to them. But it is important that I send this message to Fabio because I respect him a lot.”
Mourinho added: “There are apparently 12 on the list – some confirm, some close their mouths, some are happy to see their names in the light but that is their problem. It is not my problem.”
