Mou "crazy" about Torres, Pellegrini refuses to shake hands
Coach Jose Mourinho was extremely happy when he witnessed Fernando Torres' last-minute goal to seal a 2-1 victory for Chelsea over Manchester City.
"Everything went well for Torres after he missed a great chance. It's unbelievable. When you're a player and you make a mistake, you want to play the rest of the game to prove yourself. Fernando played fantastic."

"He created the first goal and gave everything for the team," Mourinho said.
Besides Torres, the Portuguese strategist also praised the other players in the team: "The first half was ours. We played better, much better than them."
"It's difficult to do that against a good team. We should have scored more goals. Man City started the second half very strongly. They scored a great goal and then the game opened up a lot."
However, Jose Mourinho also admitted that his team was lucky: "In a game like that, you need a little bit of luck to win. We won a very important game. I think Chelsea overcame the strongest team in the Premier League."
On the other side of the battle line, coach Manuel Pellegrini was extremely angry. The Chilean strategist even refused to shake hands with his Chelsea colleague Mourinho.
"I didn't shake hands. I didn't want to do it," Manuel Pellegrini confirmed.
"We were in complete control of the game. But once again we made the same mistakes that led to our recent defeats. We stupidly lost points."
"Man City need time to sort things out and we have to do that. This result is disappointing but I'm happy with the way the players played on the pitch."/.
