Chelsea boss
Jose Mourinho was sacked by the club on Thursday following a string of poor
results that sees the Blues languishing in 16th place in the Premier League table. The defending champions,who
lost only three matches last season have already lost nine times this campaign,
winning only league games since August. To make matters worse, Chelsea
are now just
one point above the relegation zone. But before he was sacked, he appeared in
an interview which was pre-recorded and later aired on BT Sport. In the
interview on the Clare Balding Show, Mourinho is oblivious to the fact that he would be getting the sack and gives his thoughts on various topics. When asked
which his favourite club he managed was, he was, at first, hesitant to answer
before claiming Chelsea was his
favourite.
“I give everything I have, sometimes maybe too much, sometimes maybe too emotional,” Mourinho said. “But I do that with every club, so for me I did that with everyone but the only one where I wear the shirt twice was Chelsea because I was in the club where I was. I left and I came back so I would say Chelsea.”But Mourinho also admits
season.
“I give everything I have, sometimes maybe too much, sometimes maybe too emotional,” Mourinho said. “But I do that with every club, so for me I did that with everyone but the only one where I wear the shirt twice was Chelsea because I was in the club where I was. I left and I came back so I would say Chelsea.”But Mourinho also admits
that he
can’t forget his tenures at Porto and Inter Milan, where he won the Champions
League in 2004 and 2010 respectively, and also his time at a big club like Real
Madrid. “But I have also to confess that Inter was really special and Porto was
my beginning," Mourinho explained. "I can’t forget that and a giant
like Real Madrid is also an honour to manage.”
There are
some light-hearted moments as well where Mourinho talks about how Billy Culloch
gave the team talk and he couldn’t understand a word of what the Scottish man
said. “[For] every game, one does [give the team talk], doesn’t matter who. It
can be a physio, a player, myself, an assistant. The last words before everyone
goes to the pitch,
obviously
positive words to encourage a little bit. “Billy is a special guy with a special
accent,” Mourinho said, even comparing it with Sir Alex Ferguson and explaining
how it is easy to talk to him face-to-face but difficult to understand him on
the phone. When asked if the speech worked, Mourinho simply said, “We won!” Mourinho
also talks about what
relaxes him
the most, even saying that a win would certainly help while also claiming that
the most unforgettable stage of his career was the first three months of thisseason.
