Jose Mourinho has admitted that he wants to avoid an Italian side in the
quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea qualified thanks to a scintillating 4-2 second leg win over Spanish
outfit Barcelona, but Mourinho is insistent that such a performance could
not occur against the defensively superior Serie A sides.
Milan, internazionale and Juventus are all in the draw, which takes place at
11 am on Friday, and have won the European Cup a total of ten times between
them.
It is this European pedigree that the Portuguese tactican fears, and the
admitted his team would have to pull out all the stops were they to face
a any of the Italian giants.
"You always want to play the big teams, the big managers and the big players
but I don't like to play Italians,"said Mourinho.
你永遠想和大球會、名教練、頂尖球員對戰,但我不願意與義大利球隊正面交鋒。
"If you play Italian teams you can expect a perfect defensive team, they are
the most difficult teams to play against in Europe, as you can see by their
records."
若你和義大利球隊打,你可以預期的是一支防守完美的隊伍,光是看他們的紀錄,
就可得知他們是歐洲球會中最難對付的。
"Playing a Italian team is not the same as a Spanish or French, we must be a
team with thinking qualities."
"You can't play with heart or by instinct, you need to be clever enough to
play with the brain."
你不能只靠熱血和直覺,你需要用智慧。
In Porto's remarkable Champions League triumph under Mourinho in 2004 they
avoided any of the Serie A sides, although it is likely that if he is to
claim this year's trophy as well the Chelsea boss will not e as lucky.
