Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits he sacrificed seeing his son in a European football tournament to meet with then Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Mourinho says it didn't take long to convince Cesc about moving to Chelsea.
The Blues boss said: "My son was in Germany with Fulham and they qualified to play the final against Paris St Germain and I wanted to go. That's normal.
"I never go. And that weekend, I wanted to go but it was the only day that he (Fabregas) could travel to London so I had to stay, to do my job.
"No problem, I will watch my son play other times."
While his son's team beat Bayern - "They won 1-0. They won the tournament," the Portuguese added - he was talking to Fabregas about making him the centre-piece of his rejuvenated Chelsea.
Mourinho added: "We spoke about football, we spoke about Chelsea project, we spoke about where I want him to play, the way I want him to transform my team, the Chelsea philosophy also as a club."
There were also general discussions on pay - "not specifically, because this is not my job, but just to give him an idea," Mourinho said - and the response was an unequivocal 'yes'."
