The Mourinho Thread

[Tomo 21,751]

You know, I'm starting to question if this Mourinho is an imposter. Just look and feel so different completely from the last time. He's just so calm, somewhat restrained and suddenly getting into the idea of developing young talents.

Tbh he was open to that last time, but the problem was the youth were injured constantly (Hutchinson) or shit (Huth).

[Barbara 15,149]

yes, there was some sort of round table later when he talked to a few journos.

It seems Torres is staying.

Kill me now

[mediator 2,026]

That's why Lukaku has been recalled, Torres will stay.

So we will sign only 1 or 2 players, i hope we will get, at least, De Rossi or someone with the same profile and play Oscar next to him next season

Of course he's gonna say that, he's not gonna say 'no I want Torres out', he needs to keep everyone happy at this stage, especially the new bread of players. He can't come in and demand things like what players should be out, he's only just got the job. He has to get onside with everybody first.

He's had the job a week and everyone expects him to know what he's going to do with a group of players he has not yet worked with.

[Barbara 15,149]

I don't doubt he will try to capitalize Torres though. Too bad that requires a miracle, not hard word only

thanksssss

Exactly.

The journos were too busy fishing for juicy quotes by bringing up 'The Special One' (which felt like a billion times), Abramovich, Iniesta, Casillas, etc. instead of caring about FOOTBALL matters. And then there were just stupid ones, like the Paulo question? Wtf like?

That's why I'm thankful that Belgian journalist was there; a media that is actually concerned about it's players.

TBF, thought that was a decent question by a Portuguese journalist. He just wanted to get Mourinho's thoughts on not having a countryman as his player this time around especially when he has always got at least 1 wherever Jose has been in his career.

This is exactly what pisses me off! Mourinho spoke nothing about Mata and only about Torres in there and yet somehow the journalist managed to drag Mata into the frame. The article says there were rumours Jose wants to sell Mata off to rebuild a team in his image. Define 'a team in his image'. If the media is going by the stereotypical opinion that Mourinho wants to build a team on strength by being physical and forceful like last time, then they should just bloody report Mourinho wants to sell Oscar, Hazard, Moses, Marin etc because they are all short, lightweight and not physical! Absolutely pathetic!!

@,

When did he talk about Torres? In the Round-table with the papers?

Yes. He spoke about it after the press conference to the newspaper journalists.

José Mourinho relishes return to Chelsea and beloved Premier League

José Mourinho: calm, humble, relaxed and now 'the Happy One'

New era, but same old Jose! Don't be fooled by the quiet start, Mourinho is back at Chelsea ready for a scrap

[francozola 2,040]

I personally like the more mature Mourinho more. Still has a sharp tongue, but can manage his emotions. Top coach, but most of all a top father, husband, man for prioritizing his family.

Completely agree... The 'old' Jose was more entertaining, definitely, but I for one am glad with this calmer approach he seems to be taking.

And I loved the things he said about wanting more stability, etc in his life now, and saying that he was neither ready nor keen on staying here for a long time when he arrived in 2004.

'I am happy he [Wenger] is there, of course I am. If he is there it is because he wants to be and the club and the fans and players want him to be there, and if they stick together it is fantastic.'

'By not winning a major trophy in the last years shows even better how connected they are and it is a great example for a football club so I am more than happy.'

LOL !
