supporter, you're a Spaniard. How would you say the general opinion in the media was towards him compared to the English media's? I always had this impression that the Spanish media was so much more sensationalist than the English pieces of dogcr*p, but now I'm starting to think that the Spanish didn't have an agenda and insulted him rightfully, like when his team got humiliated by Barca or Dortmund.

Hi!

Sorry to not answer you before, I had not read your post so far. Apologies.

I also thought it was insurmountable the attack of the Spanish press sensationalism against Mourinho, but seeing the sensationalist / disgusting attitude of the British press against Jose sport, I start to wonder what is the worst press.

The case of Spain is more complex because Mourinho was the coach of Real Madrid againts Guardiola`s which was formed by the majority of players that formed the Spanish team that won the European Championship and the World Cup. So many journalist attacked Jose because he ended with the hegemony of Barcelona in Spain and I was the first coach who win Guardiola`s Barcelona and he sank to Spanish players like Xavi, Pique and Busquets. Therefore, journalists saw in Mourinho a danger to the Spanish team.

But there were more important factors and is related to xenophobia in Spain against the Portuguese. For historical reasons, the Spanish and Portuguese nationalist have always been at odds, and many journalists used Jose as an excuse to criticize Portugal.

In Spain there are many of us who takes this as a joke (myself for example not waste my time to attack Portuguese or defend Spaniard, simply I enjoy the live), but other people in Spain are obsessed with the history of Spain and xenophobia attacks.

Many Spanish journalists made impossible the life of Jose and his family in Spain. With a totally unacceptable daily persecution.

For example, the newspaper AS public the training schedules of the Jose`s son, just so people could go to insult and threaten Jose`s child. Even Jose had to hire security for his child. It was embarrassing. In addition, sports newspapers published photos of the daughter of Jose, but Jose asked to let her in peace

The Spanish sports press / journalist are miserable

In addition, the Spanish journalists accused Jose of violent coach, defensive coach, they said that their players were indoctrinated to attack rivals ... The same garbage that now say the journalist in England, but much more exaggerated because at any stadiums of Spain people screaming at him Jose 'Mourinho death" or "Jose Mourinho son of a bitc " all the time with a hatred, rather than athletic, personal hatred, as if people in football stadiums Jose knew personally. This in England is quite impossible to pass, perhaps may jeer Jose, but that personal persecution is impossible to see in England.

I think the English journalists are copying the strategy of Spanish journalists to attack Jose. This is because Jose is not a submissive coach. He does not accept having to kneel before the mighty football as do others like Pellegrino or the loser of Wenger.

Jose is a passionate guy who defends his team above all else, even ahead of himself.

In addition, the British journalists have seen the large amount of money that have earned by Spanish journalists present to Jose as the villain of the movie forever. In Spain everything bad was because of Mourinho, even the economic crisis.

In Spain recently has died a violent / radical fan near the stadium of Atletico Madrid in a battle between skinheads, and many journalists have said that this was the legacy of violence by Mourinho. SHAMEFUL

I think Jose has seen that the English press has begun to use the same strategy of the Spanish press, and I think Jose has decided to stop these attacks and dealing with the press before these attacks end up in a situation like him paranoid happened in Spain.

I have said that Jose is losing its ironic smile perhaps because he feels totally misunderstood. Jose is already a legend in the Premier League, and many fans will respect him as a legend, but journalists and FA still insist attack him.

I think he feels misunderstood and I think the best thing we can all do is to support him. Jose is one of us and we have to support him unconditionally.

I support unconditionally Jose, the great majority members of this forum also support him unconditionally Jose, and the great majority of the supporters of Chelsea Jose we support wholeheartedly.

We all do this because Jose defends us UNCONDITIONALLY

All together we will win this war against journalists and FA

Defend Jose is defend US

Because

Jose is one of US

Regards.

Regards to ALL.

Neil Ashton should be banned from ever attending press conferences at Stamford Bridge again. He should be given the same treatment Sir Alex used to dish out. Even by his wretched standards, this is hard to believe!

Seriously, our club need to take action against this particular individual with a well known hatred of our club and our manager. I almost feel ashamed posting this trash, but it's for the benefit of others who won't see it.

Jose Mourinho Responds to 6-Year-Old Aston Villa Fan's Request to Manage Villa.

Where are the journalists to tell this kind of news?...

Maybe not give them a lot of money because Mourinho is not the villain of the movie.

While, I can't really go as in-depth as the brilliant Supporter has done, I'm not Spanish and my understanding of the language is pretty rudimentary, there is a pretty good movie on Youtube that explains Mourinho's tumultuous relationship with the press in Spain. It's long, but it's pretty interesting.

I came here to comment on this article and you beat me to it; I try to never comment specifically on that filthy rag, but this one has crossed the line.

DM are nothing but a bunch of filthy animals who will say anything to sell a newspaper; even though they secretly love Mourinho because they'd have nothing to write about otherwise.

In September they were all teary eyed about his return and now Aston is insinuating (with his 1-1 with Reading reference) that Jose should be sacked if he doesn't stop celebrating, being passionate and defending his team? Honestly, fuck right off Neil Ashton you absolute cunt. Brainless diatribe that makes their hate for all things Chelsea so transparent, while also making the 'campaign' not such a fantasy after all.

This is honestly the worst Aston article ever (and that says A LOT), I'd love nothing more than to meet this man to tell him what an absolute fool he is. I hope José bans this fucking mong from the press conferences or at least just gives him simple yes/no answers to every possible question. What an absolute wanker.

Don't worry lads, all of this is going to make it so much sweeter when we win the league.

Fuck the haters.

C'mon Chelsea!

He's a gormless bastard on par with wind-up merchants like Adrian Durham. The DM moderators have also started deleting comments calling out Ashton. The Daily Mail editors have no shame for giving that clown a platform to publish such nonsense.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Further proof that this Neil Ashton character is mentally challenged.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2440066/ASH-WEDNESDAY-Jose-Mourinho-like-just-Chelsea-manager-passing-through.html

This is only about 2 months into Mourinho's second spell in charge. It's particularly enlightening the way he writes as if he's privy to information about Chelsea that no one else is.

And then there's this from a couple of months earlier.

What a weirdo.

[Fernando 6,453]

There's also a some xenophobia, for lack of a better word, at work here. See the way Jamie Redknapp, a fairly average player in his day, speaks about one of the most successful managers of all time. Mourinho's offence? A sarcastic post match interview on how the obviously biased officiating in our title run-in last season ended our titles hopes.

Would Redknapp ever have spoken that way about Sir Alex Ferguson? No. Or even any ordinary British manager? Somehow I doubt it. But he knows he can berate the outspoken foreigner who many people don't like and get away with it. Where was Redknapp when Ferguson used to publicly berate referees with impunity when his team didn't win? Same thing with Ashton. Would he ever have written that article about Ferguson? Of course not.

Well Ferguson proved the critics wrong everytime.

The you can't win anything with kids ring a bell?

Mourinho hasn't won in some time.

And once he does it again and continously they will be mostly silent.

Winning the league won't stop Ashton or Redknapp from rubbishing Mourinho though. These people are obsessed with him. Anytime I listen to the Sunday supplement, it's always Ashton saying : Mourinho this, Mourinho that. Same with Redknapp. 90% of the chelsea related articles he writes are about Mourinho.

Jamie Twat was usually supportive of Chelsea when his cousin played for us ... ASHTON is a long time TWAT ..

Enjoy the fact they are suffering today

[Special Juan 27,424]

It's killing people like Ashton and Redknapp.......cunts, simple as.

Hi!

Thank you very much friend, many many thank you very much for putting this video.

It's amazing, brilliant, magnificent, excellent, Splendid, tremendous, extraordinary, fantastic and wonderful video that perfectly sums up the persecution that Jose suffered in Spain. A daily disgusting attack against him professionally and personally. It makes me feel ashamed to see the attack suffered by Jose each day in Spain. This attack was not football, this attack was an attack of xenophobia, intolerance and envy.

I personally suffered too much for this persecution which Jose lived in Spain, not only for the football coach, also by the person. Absolutely disgusting.

I used to go to Santiago Bernabeu since childhood because my father and my brother are fans of Real Madrid, but practically I did not want to return to the stadium of Real Madrid by the attitude of the people against Jose.

Jose is now happy in London, he and his family in a club at the height of his coach, with supporters who respect him and where Jose has found the respect he deserves.

After seeing this video I feel more proud to be BLUE.

We must try not to repeat in England the same campaign against Jose who made the Spanish journalists against him.

They only attack Jose to earn money. Why nobody in the press criticized the loser Wenger? or when other players attack our players ?. Because that does not give money.

But take shit about Jose da lot of money, people buy more newspapers and they earn more money.

Jose is just the excuse of the unscrupulous people to make money.

Jose has changed football. In England since many years ago could only win trophies Liverpool or Manchester United, but now we have changed this trend and have the hegemony of English football. And reporters they are afraid about the drastic changes for fear of losing their money. His conservative mind prefers not change anything and continue with a model which generates a lot of money than accept the magnanimity of Jose and recognize his importance for football.

Thank you very much for the video.

Now more than ever ....

Jose Mourinho! Jose Mourinho! Jose Mourinho! Jose Mourinho!

Jose Mourinho! Jose Mourinho! Jose Mourinho! Jose Mourinho!

Regards.

Regards to ALL.

You said it, just by winning the league won't.

Which is precisely it has to be like SAF that constantly won and shut up his critics.

That is the only way.

If in 5 years he has won 2 CL and maybe 3 or 4 PL they will not say much.
