Chelsea's extra-time hero Branislav Ivanovic was singled out for special praise by Jose Mourinho after the Serbian defender's display during the Blues' Capital One Cup semi-final victory over Liverpool.
Ivanovic headed past Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet to settle a thrilling contest at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho claimed Ivanovic has the mentality of a champion and will tell the Chelsea defender to present his blood filled boot to the young academy players to show them how to be a winner.
‘He has lots of blood and the boot is completely full of red blood and it should go straight to the academy,' Mourinho explained.
The game certainly proved a feisty encounter with Diego Costa and Martin Skrtel clashing on several occasions.
Chelsea will play either Sheffield United or Tottenham in the final at Wembley.
