Mourinho criticises Neymar for 'sad' diving

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has taken a shot at Neymar and Mario Balotelli for their simulation in the Champions League last midweek, and has called for football authorities to be more strict on diving.

"I have told the players many times, I hate it. It is very bad," Mourinho said in the Telegraph. "And the search of a red card for another player is a disgrace".

Mourinho went on to lament the antics of Neymar, who ensured Celtic's Scott Brown was sent off in Barcelona's victory in Glasgow, and Balotelli, who earned a penalty for AC Milan against Ajax.

"In some countries if you don't do it you become like the naive one because others do", said Mourinho. "But you could see for example in the Champions League this week, what happened in Glasgow and Amsterdam. And for me that is fairly sad".
