Jose Mourinho did not hold back on former Barcelona and Chelsea player Pedro whom he criticized for his performance tonight.

The Special One blasted Pedro – who featured for Lazio in tonight’s Derby della Capitale – for simulating on a number of occasions.

“I didn’t want to leave Mancini alone with Pedro. I needed Karsdorp to stay and help him,” said Mourinho in his post-match presser.

“Pedro is a fantastic player but he is a born diver, an excellent swimmer, he dives into the pool just beautifully,” he added.
