Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists.

Ranieri? He's right in what he says: I am very demanding of myself and I need to win to be secure about things. That's why I've won so many trophies in my career. He, on the other hand, has the mentality of someone who doesn't need to win and at nearly 70 years old he has won a Supercoppa and another small cup. He's too old to change his mindset.

If a player is not performing, there are two ways of looking at it. You wait for performance to come, or maybe the moment has arrived where you have to change. I could go either way.
Jose Mourinho

But the most important part of everything is to be happy.
Jose Mourinho
Image
Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country. But we are ready for that.

The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.

The reality is he's a specialist because eight years without a piece of silverware ... that is failure.

It is like having a blanket that is too small for the bed, you pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm, and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket because the supermarket is closed. But the blanket I have is made of cashmere. So it's good.

A player who dives and wins a penalty in Portugal, or Spain or Italy is considered clever, experienced, cunning, someone who understands the game. In England a player who wins a penalty like that is a cheat.

I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
