The Special One is the Invisible Man

I’m sure that many of you had a sleepless night last night as you worried about the whereabouts of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s Yorkie, Gullit. You can breathe a little easier now. It is believed that the pooch is safe and that it is staying at a friend’s house. This story just gets even more unbelievable. Who knew that Mourinho even had a friend?

Today we learn what happened during the news event of the year or at least we learn what happened from Mourinho’s perspective.

Sources close to the “Special One”, as he calls himself, told the Mail yesterday he had pulled off the canine vanishing trick by phoning his chauffeur, who drove to the Portuguese manager’s house and whisked the puppy away.

“One of the police officers was incapable of analysing the animal’s documents,” said Mourinho, who has repeatedly insisted the dog had been given all the necessary jabs. He said to me he would have to take it into quarantine.

“I proposed going in the following day with all the documents. They said no, they would have to take the dog. I said no, they would have to take me instead, but we didn’t reach an agreement.

“I told the police officers to wait a little. I went into the house where my children could not stop crying. I sent the dog to St Tropez and I returned 15 minutes later through the main door.

“What was the reaction of the police when they saw me? They asked me where I’d gone. My reply was ‘Me, I’m the invisible man’.

“Obviously things got a bit heated. They accused me of obstructing the authorities and took me to the police station.”

Lucky dog. St Tropez is lovely this time of year. If only Andriy Shevchenko could have such a fate.

UPDATE: Mourinho is denying he said any of this.
