Blues axe doc Eva ■WHAT’S UP, DOC?
Eva Carneiro and
Mourinho have words
CHELSEA club doctor
Eva Carneiro has been
sensationally banished
from the bench.
Carneiro is being sidelined after
an extraordinary row with Blues
boss Jose Mourinho.
He blew his top with her after

Louis van Gaal, Nou Camp
legend Hristo Stoichkov

● Slammed the Dutchman’s
handling of Victor Valdes.
● Warned Pedro (left) that Van
Gaal will ruin his career if he
joins the Old Trafford outfit.
Stoichkov played under Van
Gaal (right) for the Spanish
club. But he has never forgiven
him for ending his Barca career
by selling him in 1998.
Now, with Pedro on the brink
of moving to United, Stoichkov
said: “I would never be under
the orders of Louis van Gaal.
He’s mediocre. He destroyed
