This statement isn't perfectly correct, but it should satisfy some parties that could give Mourinho problems for his attitude e.g. it will have all discplinary committees get more lenient on him for that and TBF I'm glad he apologizes to fans of the club that he coaches. And it agrees with philosophy and state of things. Why should he give a toss about apologizing to Cules who will hate him nevertheless? It won't make any difference. Taking a swing and not hitting Fabregas isn't really something to be sorry for and then him and Vilanova went back and forth so TBH all he needed to make sure of is that he gets fans of his own club back on his side instead of splitting the crowd.
That's just analysis of words, words for people who will listen to them just like that, but at least he knows how to try to keep every madridista on club's side and ultimately on his side.
