Mourinho Vs Abramovich : Mourinho the victor
Mourinho 3-1 Abramovich: Point proven
We wrote late last week of the depth and importance of the Chelsea Vs Inter Milan game. It was not only a Champions League clash of the titans, it was personal.
Mourinho did his utmost to defuse the matter to the media that it was just a high profile game in the Champions League, but his eye
Mourinho isn’t as arrogant or divisive as the media would like him to be. He’s a master at playing the media, so it’s been easy for him to make the media conjure this image of him. All of his players have always praised him and that’s a testiment not only to his managing skills, but also to his character. His behaviour in the media might seem erratic at times, but it always serves a purpose, either taking pressure off from his players or putting pressure on others. That’s all there’s to it and it’s what makes Mourinho the “Special One”.
I like Mourinho, he’s funny and on the level, SO WHY IS IT THEN THAT HE’S STUPED ENOUGH TO BE PALS WITH TERRY AND COLE?
Mostly politic, true: but top-quality one. We need it, ’cause (unfortunately) in Italy football is above all politic (have you ever heard about next serie A’s probabibly winner owner, “geriatric” AC Milan? take a look…).
As regards the matter of football, and of life: the right man in the right place…
Blatter and Platini: please stop them!
Capello: ok
Lippi: ha was very very good, but it’s over!
Ferguson: ok
Ancelotti: ok
Mourinho: ok, but I think short-staying
Wenger: ok, but waiting for remarkable wins
Zola: the best man, but I don’t know anything about the situation at West Ham
Mancini: ???????
Mr Mourinho will always remain special to Chelsea regardless of his acrimonious falling out with the powers-that be at the helm of the Blues and his subsequent departure. And he has an opportunity to remind all and sundry just how special he is when he knocks out his former employers!
As a Manchester Utd fan, I wish him all the success tonight! Batter Chelsea!
He is a good coach, but needs a second Champions League win to be considered great. What he did at Chelsea was good, what he did at Inter was nothing special as the same team had won the Serie A the year before. Going to Spain and leading Real Madrid or Barca to La Liga would not be considered anything speacial either as any coach who goes to them knows his chances of winning are basically 50-50 except for the once in a blue moon win of someone else.
