More quotes by Jose Mourinho
When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started...
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
Do you have a brother or cousin in Ivory Coast, because I don't have the money to bring you to Porto.
Jose Mourinho
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.
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
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
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
I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
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
I asked the players: 'Do you want to enjoy the game? Or do you want to enjoy after the game?' The players told me they wanted to enjoy after the game so I said: 'OK, then we will enjoy after the game'.
Jose Mourinho
The only way to stop Messi is to double mark him. One player to stay on him and the other to help out.
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
Everyone has a right to an opinion. I can arrive in England and express my opinion. If criticism were ferocious and without intellectual objectivity they should show me the way to their airport. It is important to have an opinion and not be afraid to express it, knowing there will be criticism.
Jose Mourinho
No club moves me from Chelsea until Chelsea wants me to move because I want to be where I am loved.
Jose Mourinho
So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give.
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
There is no pressure at the top. The pressure is being second or third.
Jose Mourinho
It’s not important how we play. If you have a Ferrari and I have a small car, to beat you in a race I have to break your wheel or put sugar in your tank.
Jose Mourinho
If Roman Abramovich helped me out in training we would be bottom of the league and if I had to work in his world of big business, we would be bankrupt!
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
