The Story in Brief
Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has launched a scathing attack on Jose Mourinho and John Terry after the pair revisited her 2015 departure from the club in Mourinho's new Netflix documentary. Reacting to a viral clip, Carneiro posted on X that reliving the incident was 'the worst', and said Terry should learn the 'rules of the game'.
The controversy began during a 2-2 draw with Swansea City, when Carneiro and physio Jon Fearn entered the pitch to treat Eden Hazard after referee Michael Oliver called them on twice. Mourinho called them 'impulsive and naive'. Carneiro later won a constructive dismissal case against Chelsea, but Mourinho never publicly apologised.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Carneiro and Fearn were 'impulsive and naive' conveniently ignores the referee's call and Hazard's request for help. A medical professional cannot ignore that. Mourinho and Terry have had 11 years to learn the rules, but they still frame a duty of care as a tactical error. The real test: will Mourinho ever publicly apologise, or will this remain a convenient villain story for a manager whose own record that season was far from perfect?
