Mourinho asks reporters: you are so arrogant online, why are you timid facing me

Roma coach Jose Mourinho mercilessly hit back at a journalist who had criticised him during his press conference ahead of the serie A round 31 clash with Sampdoria.

The journalist, Alessandro Ostini, had recently criticised Mourinho on Italian radio and his question was mocked by mourinho.

"Are the two players behind Abraham a fixed arrangement like the back three?" Ostini asked in his question.

"I thought you could ask more difficult questions," mourinho said. After listening to your broadcast, I thought you were an aggressive, critical activist. I didn't expect it to be such an easy question. So my conclusion is, you're great on the radio, but when you come here and sit in front of me, you lose your nerve."
