El Guaje 4 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 then we agree, as Romario would say, when Pelé doesn't say a word, he's a poet.Now if you're discussing the football players, then... nuff said.Que? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this just a defense from hinting at a potential down grade remark on a man I find lesser to Romario?Regardless, this isn't the place for discussionno, dear, you certainly don't understand me. Romário is the one who said Pelé should keep his mouth shut, as when he's wordless he's a poet. It wasn't me... it was Romário himself. You said something about Pelé that I may agree if you meant him as a public persona who speaks from time to time about football. When he speaks, I agree, he's a clown. It's too much nonsense coming from one trap. That's it, chico. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pele and Cryuff are the biggest clowns in world football from their constant comments on matters that revolve around world football. Two of a kind.

Popular Post! Milan 17,959 Posted July 2, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted July 2, 2013 Petr Cech talked a bit about Jose Mourinho's phone calls to Chelsea players -You are spending another week in Prague where you are working in your football academy. This special week off has been given to you by Jose Mourinho?He called to every single player, asked us about our health and if we are ready for the upcoming season. After that he gave us a special week off. He also started joking that he should be given credit right from the very beginning because of that.Funny man Hybrid Angel, Despiadado.Maleante, Mceachran and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cech spoke about Mourinho in his interview with the Guardian.http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/02/petr-cech-chelsea-rock-for-people?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterThis will be the sixth time Cech has arrived at Cobham after the close-season break to find a newly appointed manager in place, if Roberto Di Matteo's rather downbeat summer coronation a year ago is included. Mourinho was his first manager at Chelsea and is the latest to arrive preaching stability and longevity. "Every manager who comes in has ideas, a long contract, and you hope he stays forever. Every year I sit here saying: 'This is a great manager with a lot of experience, one of the top managers in the world, and we hope he stays for years and years.' Then the 'other thing' happens as well and, two years later, I'm back here saying the same thing [about someone else]. That is how football goes."It all depends on circumstances, on the way the team progresses, but with José I only have great memories. He gave me the chance to be the No1 at Chelsea. I was 22, joining a big club [from Rennes] where Carlo Cudicini was first-choice, a player who had the most clean sheets the previous season. You think: 'Well, if the new manager comes in and just picks him then I'm dead.' That was the challenge. But he gave me the opportunity to start and show what I could do, and that is when my career kicked on. Secondly, obviously, we had such a successful time. I hope that we can reproduce that now and even push it forward."Even emulating that glittering first spell, which yielded two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups in a little over three years, would constitute a triumph though, for Chelsea, the Portuguese's return means so much more. Mourinho will rouse those in the stands as much as he galvanises on the pitch. "He will always make you see what he wants you to see," Cech says. "He knows his team, is careful how he manages his players, and everyone feels part of it. The work he puts in, all the small details in terms of preparation for the individual players … he is so demanding, but everyone is on top of his game whether he is playing or not. It makes people want to work."It's the mentality, the wording and the detail he puts into everything. He's a manager who'd rather lose than draw a game. Some would say: 'OK, if you can't win it, just don't lose it.' But with him that's not the case. He's all about winning, and winning the right way. 'Right' doesn't necessarily mean in a 'great' way, as in a nice way to watch. Sometimes you have to win a game 'ugly'."If you play against a team who are really physical you have to find the way to compete. In the Premier League, teams play different styles and it's almost impossible to play 'nice' football. But the 'right way' means you are tactically prepared and use the weapons to kill your opponent. Sometimes you impose the way you can play and you play football that is beautiful to watch; sometimes it's really scrappy, but you still need to win the game to win the title. This is the right way."Benitez doesn't like this..."It's the mentality, the wording and the detail he puts into everything. He's a manager who'd rather lose than draw a game. Some would say: 'OK, if you can't win it, just don't lose it.' But with him that's not the case. He's all about winning...
