One man sure talks a lot. Jose Mourinho. On the pitch, I respect for his tactics, strategies, and achievements. Other than that, nah! Here's my take on him.
Intro himself as "The Special One" when first arrived at Chelsea.
Since taking over at Chelsea, created controversy criticising other managers, opening a war of words with the their domestic media and becoming involved in an alleged "tapping up" of Arsenal's Ashley Cole.
"If I wanted to have an easy job... I would have stayed at Porto - beautiful blue chair, the Uefa Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me."
Failed to shake hands with Arsene Wenger following Chelsea's victory at Highbury. (erm.. a little sportmanship leh)
Told BBC Radio: "I think his (Arsene Wenger) voyeur taunt was an absolute disgrace."
In the Champions League Quarter-Final Second Leg, he accused Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard of 'influencing the referee' during the half-time break. Too bad he talk too much...suspended for the two legs against Bayern after Uefa punished him for claiming that referee entered the Barcelona dressing room during half time.
"When I saw Frank Rijkaard (Barcelona coach) entering the referee's dressing room I couldn't believe it. When Didier Drogba was sent off (after half-time) I wasn't surprised." (why? sore loser then point finger??)
"Liverpool scored, if you can say that they scored, because maybe you should say the linesman scored." (another sore loser example??)
Accused of taunting Liverpool fans after his team took the lead in a tense and tight affair at Liverpool's ground.
"I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't. Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one."
Finally, after clinching the EPL Champions back to back what did he said? "For a manager it is the worst club you can work at. I hate managing Chelsea" Well, xx-Special One-xx, I've good news for you : Tampines Rovers need a manager!
