Falcao’s grandmother launches attack on Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho

Radamel Falcao’s grandmother has hit out at Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho over his grandson’s lack of playing time in the Premier League.

The Colombian striker is frustrated by a lack of chances at Stamford Bridge after joining Chelsea on a season-long loan from Monaco.

When asked if she could explain why her grandson poor form has continued throughout his stay in England, Dona Denis King Garcia told El Universal: “I do not understand what happened.

“After the injury he suffered last year before the World Cup he has tried to return and has played some good matches; but I also think the coaches he has worked with have not been explicit with him.

“You have to show confidence in him because that is the only way he can return to what he used to be [before his injury].

“At first he was used a lot, but after that he has been used very little; in those 10 or 15 minutes he’s being given he can’t do anything.

“And so it is very difficult for him. You have to give him more time to do what he does best.”

Falcao scored only four times last season for Man United and this year he has netted only once for the Chelsea'.
