Same Old Mourinho
3Wednesday, October 01, 2008 by Paul Grech
Having tasted his first defeat since moving to Inter, Jose Mourinho has continued his old strategy of trying to shift attention from the pitch to the press conferences. Having already set up a feud with Juventus boss (and his predecessor at Chelsea) Claudio Ranieri, last weekend he embarked on a rant against someone he referred to as Barnetta (presumably he was referring to Lecce manager Mario Beretta) to a stupefied audience.
In his most recent press briefing, he challenged a hack to name his choice of a starting eleven before the game rather than criticising Mourinho's choice afterwards. "Only if you give me part of the €9 million that you earn," was the retort.
"It is not €9 million, it is €11," was Mourinho's reply. "And if you consider the sponsors, it goes up to €14."
Classy guy.

mourinho is a first class tosser and i am happy he has left england. special one my ass jose !!
What a cock!
To be fair to Jose he does that deliberately and it has been very succesful throughout his management career. In top flight football there is more to managrment than just what goes on on the pitch. So he is protecting his players by deflecting attention from the pitch to the press conference.
Most of this sounds like sour grapes, and i dont know why, you beat chelsea enough time.
