Mourinho’s special courier ‘note’ to Rui Patricio – VIDEO

During the second half of last night’s game between Roma and Fiorentina, a note from Mourinho to Rui Patricio made headlines and sparked online conversations. The match, held at the Olimpico, saw nine-man Roma aim to maintain their score to stay in the top four.

A noteworthy moment captured by the cameras was Mourinho drafting a note that he handed over to a ball boy with instructions to relay it to Rui Patricio, Roma’s goalkeeper. The image has been widely circulated online.

Breaking with tradition, the message was not conveyed by a fellow player as is commonly the case in such scenarios. Instead, Mourinho summoned a ball boy to play the courier.
