Jose Mourinho's legend is founded on the perception that he is prepared for every conceivable situation, but Marouane Fellaini's brother Mansour put that theory to the test in the hours before Chelsea took on Manchester United.Fellaini dominated Mourinho's thinking in the build-up to Saturday's Premier League crunch clash, with the Special One opting to deploy Kurt Zouma alongside Nemanja Matic at the base of midfield to nullify the giant Belgian's aerial threat.But when Chelsea's team hotel received a fuzzy-haired visitor on the morning of the game, Mourinho got some news that threatened to knock him out of his stride: Fellaini wasn't playing.The Portuguese maestro quickly worked out the true identity of the unexpected guest, however, paving the way for Chelsea to beat United and move three points closer to a first Premier League title since 2010.We'll let him fill in the gaps..."I came down in the morning and the doorman said, ‘Fellaini isn’t playing’," Mourinho told reporters."The doorman asked him, ‘What do you want here?’ He said, ‘I’m Fellaini and I’ve come to get tickets from my friend Eden Hazard’."Didn’t smell well for me. I go to Google on my phone and I put in Fellaini brother. The guy is the same."So I go with the pictures to the doorman. I say, ‘This one or this one?’ He looks, ‘This one’."F*** off, he’s the brother."
