Now before we go any further let’s clarify for all you non-football fans out there. ‘The Special One’, a name originally self-proclaimed that has come to be repeated by journalists the world over, refers to Chelsea Football Club manager Jose Mourinho. If you would like to head for the door now you will find your exits HERE (cute cat) and HERE (the dress colour thingy).

If you remain I will assume you’re a football fan and we can get down to business. Mourinho sat down for an interview with the Telegraph and some of his quotes really are out of the top draw. We all know he is big-headed, but then again he is ‘statistically the most successful club manager in world football’. Calm down Sir Alex fans, that’s a direct quote. Here’s what Mourinho had to say:

I think…I have a problem, which is I’m getting better at everything related to my job since I started. There has been evolution in many different areas – the way I read the game; the way I prepare the game; the way I train; the methodology… I feel better and better. But there is one point where I cannot change: when I face the media, I am never a hypocrite…

When the top player arrives, the team is already there. It’s not him who comes to discover the team, like Columbus discovering America. No, no, you are coming now to help us be better…

Do I make mistakes? Yes. My professional area is not only very competitive – it is competitive and emotional and [you must] push people for a certain kind of behaviour – absolutely, yes. But the professional life is only part of a person; a person is much more than that.

You can read the full interview HERE. Unfortunately they never asked him about the chances of buying Radovan Krejcir and Oscar Pistorius, but I imagine he prefers to be the centre of attention.
