Michael Essien is now 30-years-old, yet weirdly, he continues to call Jose Mourinho his "daddy". He tweeted last night night that he was delighted to have his "daddy" back at Chelsea.
When he joined Real Madrid on loan from Chelsea at the end of last season's summer transfer window, he called Mourinho his "daddy" several times in a press conference.
It's just very strange and a little bit creepy.
