Jose Mourinho

[G]

Does anyone else think the answers Mourinho gives in press conferences are pure genius..........?


Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he is more worried about bird flu than the prospect of Manchester United catching the Blues in the Premiership.
Chelsea's lead at the top of table had stood at 17 points, but Manchester United's run of eight consecutive wins has narrowed the gap to seven.

"For me, pressure is bird flu - I'm serious," said Mourinho.

"I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the problem in Scotland. It's not fun and I'm more scared of it than football."

Chelsea have not been at their best in the Premiership in recent weeks, losing to local rivals Fulham and dropping points against relegation-threatened Birmingham.

But Mourinho said his side's dip in form had not caused him any concern.

"Football is nothing compared with life," said Mourinho.

"For me bird flu is the drama of the last few days. I'll have to buy a mask.

"But 'concerned' is the correct word for Manchester United. I think they should be very concerned by the gap."

Absolutely brilliant when the pressure is on!

Err... No.
There's enough hysteria about this subject being generated by the media already. He's speaking tongue in cheek typically the media bufoons are taking themselves too seriously again. :? So in that case you're right - Therefore in answer to your question - Yes. :***:

Jose is a genius. He not only plays on the weeknesses of opposition teams, but also their managers. For example he praises Fergusons past performances, but at the same time brings up his age, etc. This means that Ferguson has no real ammunition to fight back, but has been put down! Whereas with Wenger, he knows the guy gets frustrated with an arguement (eg- threatening to take legal action) which in turn shows weakness!
I believe that in many situations Jose does things simply to weaken the opposition. For example I don't truely believe that they wanted to sign Ashley Cole, but with that situation he gets a slap on th wrist and turns one of Arsenals better players into a liability, wrecking his relationship with the club!
