Mourinho's hand hung in the air, and after two seconds, he forced a smile, nodded, and lowered his hand.
Without completing the final gesture, it felt like something was missing.
This left Mourinho feeling rather lost.
Players from both sides returned to the half after being persuaded by the referees.
But the tension in the match skyrocketed instantly.
Portsmouth, sitting last in the league, was firmly relegated and now truly had nothing left.
In the first few minutes, they realized the gap with Chelsea, and their idea of winning a championship from the league was thoroughly extinguished.
A season's efforts vanished just like that.
The entire Portsmouth team was enveloped by the negative emotion of utter despair.
Upon the game restart, their actions became more aggressive.
Kevin-Prince Boateng was extremely anxious.
Don't leave a bad impression on Chelsea's number ten.
He still wanted to be a substitute at Milan or Chelsea.
