Jose Mourinho has jumped to the defence of David Luiz after the defender was widely criticised following Brazil’s disastrous defeat Speaking as Yahoo’s Global Football Ambassador, Mourinho said: “I don’t think it’s fair to separate a player from the team, because the team was really bad. “David made mistakes? Yes he did. But, Dante made mistake, Marcelo made mistakes, Fernandinho made mistakes. The team as a team made mistakes. So I don’t think it’s fair. “I think everyone in my situation, everyone that is a player, everyone that is a coach, everyone that is not involved in the World Cup, but could be in that position.” Mourinho added: “I think all of us are feeling really sorry for them. Because it is a historic moment. “A moment that we will remember forever the same way that we all know that once many, many, many years ago, once Brazil lost a World Cup final against Uruguay in America and the same way my son, who is 14 years old, knows that. “In 50 years’ time our kids will know that Brazil lost at home against Germany, one to seven. “From my point of view, from the professional point of view, it’s heartbreaking and I’m really sorry for them.
