Hilarious move from Perez.
Riquelme went on the show 'El Hormiguero', where he promissed to sign Haaland.
So Florentino Perez bought the advertisement slot right after the show ended, to officially announce Mourinho.
And Mourinho just says: 'Si.' 😂
Being a great coach means having the talent, but also getting yourself into the right context to be at the top, and capitalising on that context. It's a mix of talent and luck, but the most important thing is resilience.
Get Luis Enrique into the GOAT debate.
The context of Mourinho's arrival must NEVER be forgotten.
- Mbappe being booed every week
- The players are fighting each other and going to the hospital
- Back to back trophyless years
If Mourinho turns this mess into a Champions League winning team, the GOAT debate is over.
José Mourinho explaining how his Real Madrid team broke the mental barrier of the "Round of 16 curse" and started Real Madrid's dominance in the Champions League.
- Valverde getting KO'd by Tchouameni
- Rudiger slapped Carreras
- Mbappe is homelander
- Mendy retiring
- Asencio waiting for the court decision
- Vinicius is Gandhi
- Perez going crazy
Time for another miracle, Mr. José.
Lukebakio threw a tantrum after being subbed off.
José Mourinho: "The coach and the player need to adapt to each other. Lukebakio isn't adapting to me. If a 66 year old has good knees, he can also dribble. But you can only track back if you're able to do it, and if you WANT it."
José Mourinho was reading on his phone and made every journalist wait for the press conference to begin today.
"Can we begin, mister?"
"Hold on, let me check the news."
?😂
Journalist: "Can you guarantee that you'll still be at Benfica next season?"
José Mourinho: "I can't guarantee. Can you guarantee that you'll still be working for your TV channel next year?"
Journalist: "I can, because no one else wants me."
Brilliant😂
José Mourinho: "I'm not the only coach in the world who would like to improve his squad. I did an analysis, and I count 5 coaches in the world who wouldn't change their squad. Only 5 clubs. I once had that privilege."
What are the 5 clubs Mourinho is referring to?🤔
José Mourinho: "A title race in football is like someone calls you and tells you that your house is being robbed and your family is inside. How fast do you run there? You fly. You are caught above speed limit and you put others in danger, but you go. Football is a bit like that."
Mourinho: "We weren't killers. And I don't mean killers in the attack, I mean killers in the defense, because that is equally important."
Journalist: "In the fight for the title…"
Mourinho: "The title is impossible now. Impossible."
…😬
Journalist: "Jorge Mendes, your agent, seems to be doing everything to get you out of Benfica in the summer…"
Mourinho: "I make my own decisions."
Journalist: "Which is what?"
Mourinho: "I want to stay in Benfica."
Mourinho: "I am old fashioned, I think in football you should give your life at every minute, at every duel, at every kick. Now I see that I wasn't able to turn the character of some players into the character of a player who fights to win titles."
Mourinho: "It would be easier not to play certain players anymore, but there are bigger things at play. They are investments from the club."
"I have tried to value them, and not antagonise them. Maybe it would be easier if I stopped."
José Mourinho's STUNNING statements after Benfica's 1-1 draw today. He wrecked everyone for 15 straight minutes…😳
"There are players that I don't want to play anymore."
"We won't be champions. We threw away that possibility today."
