He said something like the rumors are saying that Benintez is leaving Chelsea, Carlo leaving PSG and Mancini leaving Man City and that the rumors are saying that he is replacing one of them..

I found this 'interesting':

WHO IS NUMBER 2?

What the hell does this mean ? Three same CV's & three different managers, Rafa & José and ?

No, I don't think they actually go to the media. I don't want to be nitpicking, but for me there is a difference between answering what you're being asked (in a diplomatic way) and/or getting your own message across.

Q: Juan - what did you think of today's match?

A: I think we played well and we are very pleased with the result.

is quite different to:

Q: Juan - what did you think of today's match?

A: We played really well thank to Benitez, who is a great guy and we all love him to bits.

Obviously a direct question about Benitez should be answered in a diplomatic manner.

But the fact that they nearly never publish the questions kind of kills this issue.

So, you're basically indicating there that the player voluntarily praised Benitez in interviews etc? Thinking your feelings on Benitez is making this an issue when it isn't one. I don't recall reading and/or listening to our players mentioning Benitez's name all of a sudden in interviews. If the interviewer/journalist asks something about Benitez, then they will speak about him. If not, they do not talk about him and just answer the question as it is.

And as I've said I'm overly sensitive to all things Benitez :-)

That's the general problem really. Because we all hate Benitez so much, some people become sensitive and assume that the likes of Mata, Azpi, Luiz etc have turned into a Benitez loyalist based on just simple diplomatic response when there is nothing more than just that, a diplomatic response.

C'mon, it's metamorphosis from Mou to Benitez. That's 1/2 Mou and 1/2 Benitez in the middle

Mourinho 2 days ago did a press conference producing a Benitez-like factsheet highlighting his achievements.

How in the world do all these journos know what's going on the mind of Roman when he has never spoken to the press?

They are amazing indeed!

Investigative journalism. Not saying the news is true here but journalists can always find it out by getting such info from personals close to Roman.
