Mourinho makes big impression
By Phil McNulty
Chief football writer
Jose Mourinho's spectacular entry into Chelsea delivered a first impression
that this is the man who will electrify the Premiership - outspoken, arrogant,
contr oversial, but utterly compelling.
And, on first sight and sound, a wonderful addition to the English game both
in terms of personality and pedigree.
Mourinho did not breeze into Stamford Bridge. He was a whirlwind that backed
up the claims that he is a Portuguese version of arguably the greatest English
manager of them all, Brian Clough.
What is clear is that Mourinho is no Claudio Ranieri - and how long his single
-minded and ruthless approach will stay happily married to any interference
from Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon and owner Roman Abramovich is difficul
to say.
Mourinho is the antithesis of the humble Ranieri, and yet his open approach
may make him the best arrival in the Premiership in years.
While the "Tinkerman" deflected questions with Italian charm and turned on
a self-effacing sense of humour, Mourinho's in-your-face self-confidence was
breathtaking.
He is the man in control at Chelsea. And no-one was left in any doubt on
that score from the moment he sat alongside Kenyon.
Take the job title for a start - "manager and coach".
In other words, Chelsea is Mourinho's club from now on.
And what about the arrogance? Well, he almost apologised for it - but not quit
And if the blueprint for Abramovich's plans for Chelsea future centred on the
seemingly endless acquisition of players that was in operation last season,
Mourinho wasted no time in ripping that up.
It was a blistering statement of intent, but it was made by a man who can back
up words with actions, such as winning the Champions League as a follow-up to
winning the Uefa Cup.
And if the Premiership needed a dash of colour and a touch of added spice, this
is a man who will provide it.
Mourinho has the potential to assume almost pantomime-villain proportions among
Chelsea's opponents, while the Stamford Bridge regulars will love a man who will
fight his club's corner fiercely.
And they should sell tickets for the potential verbal jousts with Sir Alex
Ferguson, who allowed Mourinho to get under his skin as Porto ejected Manchester
Unied from the Champions League.
Mourinho's super-cool assessment of how special he is may be an acquired taste
to some, and grating to others, but those who enjoy drama cannot deny what
value he will be in the Premiership.
For all the measured arrogance, you cannot help but like him. He will give the
top-flight a new dimension.
And there is rich promise in the words: "I want to build a team in relation to
my image and my football philosophy."
No-one knows how long this ride will last,but with a new star in the Premiership
, there is a cast-iron guarantee it will not be dull.
阿布36歲, 總教頭41歲, 雙方都成名甚早,應該不難理解對方
總教頭會五種語言, 不知道會不會俄語, 看來他也有語言天份,
將來和阿布溝通應該不是問題
英國媒體應該會很喜歡採訪總教頭,以後大概每天都有總教頭的名言
也許會有"穆里語錄"...XDDD
