JOAO PEDRO had a TV interview sensationally gatecrashed by Liam Rosenior after Chelsea’s win at Napoli – and it resulted in fans comparing the new boss to Jose Mourinho.
The Blues booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League by sealing a 3-2 victory on Wednesday.
Pedro, 24, grabbed a second half brace to spearhead Chelsea to all three points against the West Londoners’ former chief Antonio Conte.
But he was left stunned when Rosenior came from out of nowhere and stared directly at him from point blank range when he was doing post-match media duties.
The pair of them burst out laughing after the incident – and Chelsea fans raced onto social media to compare the Blues’ boss to iconic Stamford Bridge supremo Jose Mourinho.
One said: “Just look at Joao Pedro and Rosenior, my club is back.”

Another added: “How can you look at the bond Rosenior has with players like Joao Pedro and not be 100 per cent behind him?
“Good person. Good coach. Elite man-management. He’s the right man for the job. Period.”
A third noted: “Rosenior with Mourinho vibes. He’ll take Chelsea to new heights.”
A fourth chimed in: “All I can see is pure love and respect for each other.”

But some Chelsea supporters reckon Rosenior’s close bond with his players could backfire.
One was adamant, writing: “Players won’t take him seriously. He’ll be out of a job by October.”
Another commented: “This will end in tears. Bookmark this.”
Rosenior penned a mega deal until 2032 when he was appointed as Enzo Maresca’s successor earlier this month.
Chelsea will be looking to build on their win over Napoli when they face Premier League strugglers West Ham on Saturday.
