The Mourinho Thread

[Barbara 15,149]

Mourinho is such a troller! gotta love him

Jose is also one of the funniest men you will ever come across. For example when I scored my last goal for Real Madrid on the last day of the season, I ran over to celebrate with him and was expecting him to congratulate me when I hugged him. Instead he leaned over and said: ‘See you at pre-season training on July 8′. I found that so funny. I was expecting a pat on the back and thinking about my summer holidays and he surprised me with pre-season – that’s Jose for you.

"Where can I can fit all the players in? I hope to play 60 matches,'' he said in the Daily Star.

"So we will use a rotation of players that's for sure."

Moses has caught the eye with his performances in pre-season and Mourinho believes he is the type of player who can make a huge impact off the substitutes' bench.

"Victor has been terrific, working very hard," he said.

"In his position, we have Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Andre Schurrle, and with Victor, we can change during a match and give new life to the team."

even Moses has a significant improve under Mou. i know it's only pre season,,but looking every player working hard to impress their boss is incredible...

Real Madrid are next up for Mourinho, on Wednesday, in the final of the Guinness International Cup in Miami, less than three months after his acrimonious departure from the Bernabéu.

Sunday night’s 2-0 win over AC Milan in New Jersey, thanks to goals from De Bruyne and Schürrle ensured the Portuguese’s youthful-looking side are continuing to impress here.

Mourinho said: “My first time as Chelsea manager the age range of the side was quite high and we had players that were in the best moments of their career.

"It was a side which was ready to attack, who only needed a few small improvements. We could attack the present and think less about the future.

“But this team is a very young team. We have lots of kids 21, 22, 23 who will get better every year.

"So I am not saying we don’t want to win now because that is the nature of our club and my own nature but the reality is my job is different because I have a lot of young guys who I am not only preparing for this year but for the future too.

"It’s a project and I am pleased to have this experience.”

I find what Mourinho said about Ronaldo is kinda fucked up.

He was his player so he should have shown more respect towards him.

And then Ronalda talking back, saying he don't spit from the same plate he eats.....

This is one aspect I don't like about Mourinho. But whatever, no one is perfect.

just what i was thinking.

[Barbara 15,149]

am I the only to think he didn't say it in a bad way? I've watched the interview - don't know if you had read or watched - and it was so clear he meant to clarify which Ronaldo he was talking about instead of jabbing Cris. Sometimes I feel like the press twist words and take things out of proportion. So when he says the real one I see it as a simple clarification about which Ronaldo he was talking.

now let's supposed his intention was ill... is the name (or word) Ronaldo some sort of special thing? Let's suppose he did really meant to say the brazilian Ronaldo is the real Ronaldo? How does that even make sense and supposing it does, what does one being the real Ronaldo add to their career or reputation? Yeah, exactly, nothing. So he wasn't belittling Cris or exalting Ronaldo, he was just clarifying which Ronaldo he meant. As if being a real Ronaldo or a wanna-be-Ronaldo makes any difference... also Ronaldo's name is Ronaldo, whereas Ronaldo is only Cris' middle name, so someone could even look at it this way, that the real Ronaldo is the one named Ronaldo, not the one with the middle name Ronaldo - but even that is stretching it imo... he just want to put them apart.

yeah i agree with you, i saw that interview too and he def didnt mean it like a jab, he just said "real" instead of "brazilian" and it almost seemed like he was going to retract or correct himself but didnt care for it as didnt seem like a big deal

that said, it's mourinho we're talking about, people hang off his dick after his interviews saying how he always gives world class answers so from that point of view maybe it wasnt just a slip but was in fact a jab

mourinho playing mind games on us even when he doesnt intend to lol

Yeah he may actually refer to him as Cristiano Ronaldo - I refer to him as the fake Ronaldo - The Real Ronaldo was Da Man!!!

MOURINHO: WORK TO DO

http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3341364

Perfectly said. Nobody could said better than Jose did.

[Barbara 15,149]

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has played down his ongoing spat with Cristiano Ronaldo following Real Madrid's 3-1 win over the Blues in Miami.

The Portugal forward scored twice in the International Champions Cup final as Real got one over on old coach Mourinho, who left the Bernabeu to return to West London.

But the Blues boss, who last year claimed that his compatriot "maybe thinks that he knows everything and that the coach cannot improve him any more", was quick to defuse the war of words.

"You know the declarations against Cristiano is your movie not my movie," he said. "It's not my movie.

"I just tried to identify the person, I just told the true Ronaldo in relation to the Brazilian one.

"If someone told me Thomas Muller and Gerd Muller, for me, the real man is Gerd Muller because he is the first one. And I'm not saying anything against the new kid in Bayern.

"So that's your movie and Real Madrid was last weekend in the movie city but it's not my problem."

just as everyone knew, except the press and Cristiano Ronaldo

No matter what they say, it won't change the fact that we love mourinho. I hope we'll get CL this time that he's in.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

He is getting fat.

It is normal, age does that, look at Carlo Ancellotti for example, who was a professionnal footballer.It is very difficult to stay in good shape for a 50 year old man.

Good thing there's no report of some chronic degenarative diseases in him like Hypertension or Diabetes. Good man stays healthy all the time though. Less stress.

Good read.

Yeah I feel like this is the challenge he has been missing.

He won everything with a lot of resources now he wants to try to achieve something similar with less resources and more youth.

This will be harder but the rewards will be truly greater.

I hope come December, our usual downtrend in performance we don't press the panic button and buy all out expensive players.

That is why I find it amusing how we are sometimes labeled as 'clear' favorites for the title.

His current reign with us is much more difficult than what he did with us back in 04-07. Back then, he built a team of players that were in their prime and established a strong stabilized core. Instant success.

Now he has a group of young talented players that he must develop and organize together to create the next generation of CFC. He's stated that he plans on developing youth prospects and to give this club the stability it's been missing, for that, Jose has my full backing and support.

I just hope some of the fans tone down on the pathetic knee jerk reactions if we somehow finish lower than we should, knowing that this squad is in transition, which it desperately needs.

Stability > Instant success

The difference between us and say Arsenal is we still have more than enough experience in the ranks. Dortmund got to the CL final with their pivot and other key players in their early 20's. United won it with Ronaldo and Rooney just out of their teens in 2007. The way to do it is have an experienced spine for most games, especially the top one's (Cech, JT/DL4, Ramires, Mata, Rooney maybe if he joins) and play the youngsters around them and i don't see why we can't atleast challenge.

Agreed. Experience mixing in with youth. I never claimed we wouldn't challenge, just that I find it ridiculous how many make us out to be clear favorites.

I would rather start Lukaku than buy Rooney and have him on 200k per week. Not to mention having Ba and Torres( who is also sucking the wage budget)
