Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has issued his criticism towards Jack Wilshere after the Arsenal midfielder was pictured drinking and smoking at a pool party in America.
Mourinho believes that Wilshere set a bad example for kids after being caught smoking exactly a year after he was warned by Arsenal for doing the same thing.
Wilshere was pictured with England keeper Joe Hart at a pool party in Las Vegas, where he can be seen heavily drinking champagne and smoking.
Blues boss Mourinho believes that Wilshere is not setting a good example and that he needs to fulfil his role as someone younger people look up to in the sport.
“What football players do, millions and millions are watching, lots of kids are watching,” the Chelsea boss revealed to reporters.
“I’m not a specialist, obviously, but I don’t think if a football player smokes one cigar or cigarette with friends in the summer when he is not training – I don’t think it affects his performance.
“What gets affected is that a kid at home says if a top football player can smoke then I can smoke and it is not a problem.”
