Well, well, well, Maradona and Pele are not that obsessed with each other.CR7 and Messi are not that obsessed with other. Real Madrid and Barcelona are not that obsessed with each other. Inter and Milan are not that obsessed with each other. But when it comes to Mourinho and Barcelona, the obsession is never-ending.
Yesterday morning when I woke up, I read Xavi’s quotes,
‘I don’t want people to think that I’m always attacking Mourinho, that’s not my intention, but obviously I don’t like the way his teams play on the pitch. It annoyed me to see them play like that as they had an idea and a concept before. [Zinedine] Zidane, Roberto Carlos – they were incredible.”
‘They dominated every area of the pitch. You had to look at the facts and just admit they were better. It was the same with the Madrid side in the ‘Quinta del Buitre’ era, another amazing team with a clear and sound philosophy.”
‘A big club can’t play like Mourinho’s Madrid. We don’t let the pitch dry up so it turns into a ‘potato field’, nor do we kick the other team 30,000 times or try to turn up the heat in a game. We didn’t even do that when Madrid went above us.”
‘We’ve won, drawn and lost, but always according to a footballing philosophy. The result is an imposter; it goes beyond winning and losing.’
These comments were disgusting and disturbing. Who the hell is Xavi to talk about Mou’s tactics? He hasn’t worn the shoes of a manager yet. His team just got thrashed 7-0 and holds the worst record for UCL semi-finalist and UCL Finalist (4-0 to Milan in 1994).
After these disgraceful comments and banters with the Catalans on different threads, I went for a Sunday afternoon nap. As soon as I woke up, guess what I saw?
Another Mourinho-obsessed Catalan in the form of Andres Iniesta giving negative comments regarding Jose to the press,
‘You just have to look at the facts. Yes he damaged Spanish football, in general more harm than good.”
‘But I don’t like talking about that person at all. So if you don’t mind we’ll leave it at that.’
I don’t understand how can one person damage Spanish football. Anyway, its clear that Jose got the better of Barca at Chelsea and Inter and found them out in his third season at Real Madrid. No wonder these Catalans are obsessed.
Every Catalan has been bashing Jose recently and that list includes number of Catalans that cannot be counted on fingers. Vice-president, Cryuff, Pique, Puyol, Alves, Biscuits, etc have all bashed Mourinho these days. Even Iniesta’s dad did it.
Why do you think they are constantly bashing Jose?
I have never seen different player from one club bashing a guy who has left the country that too within a space of few days. Come on. Nobody is a fool. In my opinion, they have a very dirty plan and that is to unsettle and land Juan Mata at the Nou Camp.
Juan Mata is with these Catalans, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos on International duty right now and they may have already said loads of negative things about Jose. Mata is a simple and a humble guy. These Catalan cheats, Casillas and Ramos are more than capable of influencing and twisting the mind of Juan Mata. I just hope Mata is sensible enough to understand otherwise we are in for big trouble.
Mata is a special player. Although I have not been as impressed by him as some of you, I know he has the potential to be the best and he should not miss the chance to work with the best coach in the world. For Mata’s sake, he should realize such opportunities come once in a life time. And he should learn from Fabregas’ move to Barca, who is nothing more than a bench warmer and is struggling to get out of the shadows of Iniesta and Xavi.
I hope Chelsea and Jose are seeing through this dirty plan and sort it out with Mata. Although I think Jose is too smart for anyone to mess up with and he always has the last laugh and these Catalans will witness it when we face them next time. They are messing with the wrong person. In Jose, I trust.
