Soccer-Mourinho joy tempered by father’s illness

Jose Mourinho said the build-up to Chelsea’s title-clinching victory over Crystal Palace had been overshadowed by his father’s health problems back in Portugal. The Chelsea boss was in a sober mood after a 1-0 win sealed his third Premier League title with the London club, having been preoccupied with his father Jose’s health. “When the game finished at Leicester (on Wednesday) I immediately went to Portugal, I was there with him at the most difficult moment, the surgery,” Mourinho told reporters. He’s strong and is getting better and better so I’m much more relaxed.” Mourinho also said that midfielder Ramires had been taken to hospital before the game.
