Melanicus 5,208 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 One thing that Mourinho is doing in his return, and I find it really annoying is his "English football is better" thing. Every week he is praising one aspect of english football. After Liverpool's game he spent some seconds to say how good is PL, other day he was talking about "english blood", and about how bad are the foreigners divers (his words), then again days ago he was saying FIFA should solve the diving problem in other countries because there is few diving in PL, now he is talking about the lack of english managers in PL, because he thinks its a sad thing, and british managers are as good as the foreigners (even tough we all know that are few good managers out there born in UK).For me it just an attempt to sound "popular", and the man is still under the effects of his failure in Spain, where the press has no respect for him. To be honest this is the worst aspect of Mourinho: his relationship with british press. The media always made him look like a messianic character. Spanish press made him look more like a villain from a comedy movie than anything. Mourinho loves the press (because he feels loved), and he knows how to deal with it. Just look at his "special quote" I dont think there was something really...special about that, the was just saying he felt he was a special manager ("a" not "the"), since he was a european champion, but then he became "The Special One", and his quotes looked like words spelled by a divinity or got the same status as Churchill or Martin Luther King quotes.Im more interested about his aspects as a manager. His SpecialOneLovesEnglishFootball character is annoying and predictable. He is just in love with English football.

His SpecialOneLovesEnglishFootball character is annoying and predictable. It's political.If you make critics about english fa, refs, you will have poor decisions by refs on your matches.The refs are often more lenient with the british players than the foreign ones.

This forum attracts people from all over the world, because English football is better. And English is the universal language in the world, I am sure if we compare the amount of foreigners on forums then the English speaking ones would have a lot more members than the likes of Italian or German or Spanish. If those forums got more members it is because that team(Madrid/Barca/Bayern) got more fans who are willing to discuss things on forums.

His SpecialOneLovesEnglishFootball character is annoying and predictable. Well what would you have him do? You said it yourself in Spain the press had zero respect for him and would often launch personal attacks that would go beyond football. And it wasn't just the press. It was also the managers and fans of the small clubs, etc. He comes to England and he feels that people like him and those who don't like him, at least respect him. He's like a little boy who used to be bullied, switches schools and finds plenty of friends and respect lol. Wouldn't you feel thankful?Besides, he hasn't said anything that isn't true. The PL is indeed the best and you can see that by just taking a look at the league's table.

Blue Armour 4,459 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Impressive.But we need a stronger pivot to press position with such intend.True, we need more dynamic players for the pivot.

Polo7 3,496 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It all boils down to Mourinho knowing his starting 11. The only problematic part is the striker, I personally think Torres is the better of the 3 and hope Eto'o never touches a Chelsea shirt again.
