Mourinho quotes... will translate and add them as and when I can
"On the field there are no youth or veterans, no Golden ball winners or new players.. There are none of these, on the field its just 11 players aganst another 11... And all are equal." - Jose Mourinho, February 2009.
"Surely there was somebody who had prepared bottles of champagne for our downfall, and will now have to put these back in the fridge" - Jose Mourinho, March 2009.
"I told my players to smile. To have a childlike pleasure of playing a game so beautiful, so important. Pressure? No, no pressure. But joy and smiles" - Jose Mourinho, before Inter - Manchester United, February 2009.
"Ferguson, for me is the best coach in the world. He's 68 years old and has won the Champions League twice. I'm 45 and have won it once.. In 23 more years, we'll see" Jose Mourinho, March 2009.
"To win, you must take risks. And if we lose by 2 or 3-0 by taking these risks, I will assume responsibility" Jose Mourinho, January 2009.
"The team I coach is always the best, which is why I would never bring in an opponents player" Jose Mourinho, November 2008.
"Even Jesus was sympathetic to all." Jose Mourinho, April 2009.
"I like a coach who tells me when I play badly. Who uses strong words like "today you sucked". It's already happened, and for me it works." Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Jose Mourinho, March 2009.
"We must not sit in front of the television watching to see how Juventus play. It is them who must win all the games and wait for the results of Inter." Jose Mourinho, March 2009.
"I'm not there to change public opinion, neither am I the champion of prime time. I speak because I am obligated to do so by my contract, they tell me I must do so. Whilst Ranieri and Spalletti are always on prime time. Every time I arrive in the dressing rooms and turn on the television, I see Spalletti." Jose Mourinho, March 2009.
"I don't understand a thing about football, but I do like the geniuses such as Jose Mourinho." Dan Peterson (Sports pundit/ex-basketball coach) October 2008.
"We are the strongest team and we deserve the Scudetto. Against Juventus, a draw will not do: I want the 3 points." Jose Mourinho, April 2009.
"I prefer not to comment on the referee, as that would mean i'd have to comment on the decisions in other matches, also." Jose Mourinho, January 2009.
"If somebody had told me before the game that a squad like this would lose, I wouldn't have believed them, because Inter were fantastic tonight. But playing at Old Trafford is not easy, and unfortunately for us, luck was not on our side." Jose Mourinho, after Manchester United 2-0 Inter, March 2009
