Mutu Pleads For Leniency

Last updated : 06 November 2003 By Rich Godden
Both Mutu and his Chelsea teammate John Terry condemned the behaviour of Mihajlovic after Tuesday's game.

But now Mutu is actually standing up for the guy! He said "I am disappointed with Mihajlovic's behaviour, he hit me when the ball was out of play. If this is his character, it is worse for him and for Lazio.

"I am not someone who cries about these things though. These things happen on the pitch. This is a man's game. I don't think he should be punished or that further action should be taken.

"The good thing is that we have won, we have taken three important points. I go home a happy man and he doesn't.''
