The Mourinho Thread

[Barbara 15,149]

Anyone else think those MARCA quotes are way too particular and frank to be from Jose himself? I mean those guys tried everything in their power to make his Madrid stay a living hell and here he goes and grants them an exclusive interview with direct, 'yes' or 'no' type answers about Courtois, Costa, Ramires and Fabregas? I'd be delighted if all that's been reported is genuine but I'm a little skeptical.

haven't read your post until now. But that's how I feel too.

Strange. It was definitely there this morning...

i read the translated WAGNH article that skipper posted and that one has the cesc comments. plus that article gives the precise words

"Cesc es un gran jugador que da una nueva dimensión a nuestro equipo. Es diferente a Matic, Ramires y Óscar. Con él tendremos un centro del campo muy completo. Al fichar a Cesc yo pretendía un centrocampista con un perfil determinado y ahora con su llegada ya lo tengo"

It's in a new article now

I'm still a bit weary about it...

Yeah, I just edited my post to link you to it but it does seem weird that Jose and Marca have some sort of dialogue going on but surely they wouldn't post made up quotes - if he didn't say them they would be in a lot of trouble.

As if Marca ever cared about posting made-up quotes.

Sorry, I'm not believing anything that comes from Spanish press when it is about Mourinho. Just a month ago Jose refused to speak to Spanish journalists alltogether, and it's hard to imagine him concieding exclusive interview to Marca now after the role this same Marca played in his leaving Madrid.

Diego Maradona slams Spain's Iker Casillas and says Jose Mourinho was right to drop the error-prone goalkeeper

Just read his comnents about Pepe.

Mourinho is class.

Less.

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP! He was just saying what every Portugal fan is thinking.

Not really tbh. Despite being brazilian Pepe always showed interest in playing for Portugal, is one of our top players and has always given a great effort when wearing our shirt, more than a lot of the portuguese-born players. While it is true that it might give a bad rep to our country, José was out of line here.

I'm not defending Pepe, what he did was dumb and cost us any little chance we had at a comeback, but these comments were needless. Just my two cents on this.

[nono 791]

Pepe and Mourinho have a history. There is no love lost. I personally thought the comments were very mean and hurtful.

[iseah100 5,612]

Pepe is a grown man, he can take it. Pepe is stupid for doing that, maybe Mou went a bit far, but "classless"? Really? That word gets thrown around too much. Pepe and Mou don't like each other, and he (Pepe) made a stupid mistake when they were still in the game.

Pepe - representing his nation at a tournament and contrives to help them lose by being an idiot...

Mourinho - preventing hunger in impoverished countries

Both are Portuguese - Mourinho is fair with his comments, Pepe let his whole country down by being a dick!

Ding ding ding!

[The Skipper 20,609]

Pepe did let his country down big time but to say "he's not even Portuguese" is harsh.

That is such a horrible comparison.

[Rom2013 446]

Pepe betrayed Mourinho in Real Madrid, don't expect any respect from Mourinho, and Pepe don't deserve any respect. As a person Pepe is a fucking disgrace.

And I'm not speaking about the Casquero situation that was horrible (the only one Pepe had in football because all the other things are absolutelly normal). I'm talking about the 3 years of Mourinho in Madrid in which Mourinho was the only person defending Pepe from the papers in Madrid, the fans and Barcelona.

Pepe is right now in Madrid because of Mourinho and in the last month to garantee his spot at the club he said Mourinho was wrong and Casillas shoudn't be treated like that.

About the words of Mourinho, he said the truth... Pepe is not portuguese in the sentimental sense of the word, and he should behave properly.

That was not a red card, as Mourinho also said, but was really stupid what he did.

And Mourinho is portuguese, he will coach the national team (Madrid didn't let him coach the NT some years ago), he can say what he wants about the team and he already said that he doens't like that much "non portuguese" players in the national team. I agree with him.

Mourinho usually coach teams with big football stars that can challenge for big trophies. I really can't see Mourinho managing Portugual, unless his reputation decreases to the point there is no big club willing to give him a job.

Its easier to see Jose managing England than Portugal.
