The best way to stop Messi is when you play with 11 men and then you can double mark him, one player to stay on him and the other to help out. If it is 11 against 10 then you have almost no chance of stopping him.

More quotes by Jose Mourinho
If you're not a big club, you choose one competition and you fight in that competition and forget the others. Big clubs - we cannot do this
Jose Mourinho
Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.
Jose Mourinho
Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win. They don't believe.
Jose Mourinho
I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans. [Claudio] Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say 'good morning' and 'good afternoon.'
Jose Mourinho
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.
Jose Mourinho
Everybody can be smart.
Jose Mourinho
Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
Jose Mourinho
If at the end of the season I'm leaving the club, you have the right to come to me and say: 'Jose, you are a liar'
Jose Mourinho
If I wanted to have an easy job, working with the big protection of what I have already done before, I would have stayed at Porto - beautiful blue chair, the Uefa Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me.
Jose Mourinho
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.
Jose Mourinho
I always think there's our age in ID terms but then there's our real age because for me the real age is not the age on your ID. That's just a date when you were born. The real age, the real ID is your body, your brain, your attitude.
Jose Mourinho
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
He's a specialist in failure.
Jose Mourinho
A great pianist doesn't run around the piano or do push ups with his fingers. To be great, he plays the piano. ...being a footballer is not about running, push-ups or physical work generally. The best way to be a great footballer is to play.
Jose Mourinho
He is someone I respect [Beckham] as a man and as a player. He is the captain of England and has been a European champion. I have never been critical of him and reports implying that are incorrect as I've never made comments about him
Jose Mourinho
I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.
Jose Mourinho
The moral of the story is not to listen to those who tell you not to play the violin but stick to the tambourine.
Jose Mourinho
When the players think you are strong and that you trust them, it helps them to have a good attitude.
Jose Mourinho
Let slip the dogs of champions.
Jose Mourinho
When I face the media, maybe I don't feel it now, here with you, because it's a different sort of interview, but when I face the media before or after the game, I feel it as part of the game.
Jose Mourinho
