The Mourinho Thread

[Fernando 6,585]

Not being funny, but it's not like many English fans go on Brazilian football teams' forums (for example) is it. This forum attracts people from all over the world, because English football is better.

Well many people get the Brazilian national fútbol shirt because their fútbol is better......

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.

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.

Just read some of the comments after the Arsenal game again ,some people on here are clueless.

They actually doubted the special one of us .

Impressive.

But we need a stronger pivot to press position with such intend.

True, we need more dynamic players for the pivot. Only Ramires fits that bill in our team.
