Jose Mourinho warns Crystal Palace ball boy ‘one day somebody will punch you

Jose Mourinho admitted he spoke to a ball-boy during Chelsea's shock 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace because he feared a confrontation between the youngster and one of his players.
Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta was involved in a minor altercation with the ball-boy after growing frustrated at the time taken to return the ball in the second half at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
At the time, Chelsea were trailing to John Terry's 52nd-minute own goal and the incident reflected the growing frustration as Mourinho's side struggled to work their way back into the game. "I went there to stop Azpilicueta because he's an emotional guy, one of the guys who was not losing his spirit," Mourinho said. "I was afraid Azpi might push the kid or do something, so I went there."
The incident revived memories of Eden Hazard's clash with a ball-boy at Swansea last season that earned the Chelsea winger a three-game ban, although this incident is unlikely to attract any punishment. Mourinho, though, believes the ball-boys had been told to delay returning the ball in a bid to slow the game down.
"The kids are educated to do this, but if a player hits a ball-boy, the person who educates them disappears," Mourinho said. See Also: Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini ignores Jose Mourinho's mind games "The player stays in trouble for pushing or punching or kicking the kid.
The way Azpi was going, because the kids were doing that all the time...so I went to stop him and I had the chance to speak with the kid, who was cute. "He came to me and I told him if he does this, one day somebody will punch him. I told him. Last year, what happened with Eden, you know... "But the kids, it's not their fault. The kid said 'yes'." - Players' mentality in question
