Man, yesterday indeed is a black spot in my memory. In fact as i’m writing this rite now I still can’t accept that Jose Mourinho - the Special One has been sacked by Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich. Its so shocking. And all of time in the world, why must it be this weekend as The Blues will be visiting Old Trafford for rivalry battle. Why? why Abramovich? why?
Jose Mourinho will be forever remember as a legend in Chelsea history. The only man capable bring two EPL title and a few other Cup and trophies in just 3 years here in Chelsea.
The presence of him in EPL is really strong. He added spices to the world of football in England with his quotes, comments, arrogant speeches. EPL will never be the same after this. No more moaning from the Special One.
Arghh..the more I talk about him, the more I’m gonna miss him.Still, can’t believe it. Think that stupid Abramovich make a big mistake for doing this. No one can replace coach good as Mourinho, no one !!
As a tribute to my admired football manager, I listed here a few famous quotes, comments, moaning or whatever people call it :
"Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one." - Mourinho while introducing himself to the English media after arriving from FC Porto in June 2004.
"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." - Mourinho in July 2004.
"As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal." - Mourinho criticising Tottenham’s defensive approach during a 0-0 draw in September 2004.
"In the second half it was whistle and whistle, fault and fault, cheat and cheat. The referee controlled the game in one way during the first half, but in the second they had dozens of free kicks. I know the referee did not walk to the dressing rooms alone at halftime." - Mourinho accusing Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson of influencing the referee at halftime during the League Cup semifinals in January 2005. The Football Association fined Mourinho for the comments.
"After the game on Wednesday we were together in my office and we spoke and drank wine. Unfortunately it was a very bad bottle of wine and he was complaining, so when we go to Old Trafford for the second leg, on my birthday, I will take a beautiful bottle of Portuguese wine." - Mourinho saying he has nothing personal against Ferguson.
"Liverpool scored, if you can say that they scored, because maybe you should say the linesman scored." - Mourinho after Luis Garcia’s controversial goal in the 2005 Champions League semifinals, which did not appear to cross the line.
"I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea." - Mourinho on Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in October 2005.
"I am more scared of bird flu than football. What is football compared with life? I have to buy some masks and stuff - maybe for my team as well." - Mourinho saying he has more important things to worry about than Chelsea’s lead at the top of the Premier League being cut to seven points in April 2006.
"Look at my haircut - I’m ready for war." - Mourinho showing off the buzz cut in August 2006 that several of his players, including new signing Michael Ballack, copied in anticipation of the new season.
"Makelele is not a football player - Makelele is a slave." - Mourinho criticizing France for including Claude Makelele in its squad for a 2008 European Championship qualifier despite the midfielder’s retirement from international soccer after the 2006 World Cup.
"It is not possible (for) penalties (to be awarded) against Manchester United, and it is not possible (to get) penalties in favor of Chelsea. If somebody punishes me because I tell the truth, it is the end of democracy - we go back to the old times." - Mourinho after seeing Chelsea penalty appeals in the match against Newcastle turned down, a day after Middlesbrough were denied an injury-time penalty at United in April 2007.
"After all that has happened this season - and that is a lot - I’ve reached the conclusion that I am a good loser." - Mourinho in May 2007 after United won the Premier League title.
"The dog is fine in Portugal. That big threat is away. You don’t have to worry about crime anymore." - Mourinho on the whereabouts of pet Yorkshire terrier Leya. Mourinho received a police caution in May 2007 for refusing to hand over the dog to animal welfare officials who wanted to put it in quarantine.
"It is omelets and eggs. No eggs - no omelets. It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class one, class two or class three eggs and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelets. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, you have a problem." - Mourinho complains about injuries to Frank Lampard, Ricardo Carvalho and Didier Drogba before Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Rosenborg in the Champions League.
"There are only two ways for me to leave Chelsea. One way is in June 2010 when I finish my contract and if the club doesn’t give me a new one. It is the end of my contract and I am out. The second way is for Chelsea to sack me. The way of the manager leaving the club by deciding to walk away - no chance. I will never do this to Chelsea supporters." - Mourinho before last season’s League Cup final. - Sapa-AP
