Jose Mourinho once again stole the show from his players by destroying crates of drinks after the last winner of Marouane Fellaini led Manchester United to the knockout stages of the Champions League yesterday (Singapore time), revealing titles. such as "Bottle of Red".
The 55-year-old Portuguese, who is very volatile – whose mood swings and scathing remarks about almost all his players and the transfer policy of the board of directors have put an end to his fallout. on the club this season – said the violence of his reaction was the product of several factors.
The winner of Fellaini against Young Boys and the defeat of Valencia against Juventus have ensured the progression of the Red Devils, even if it is likely that it will be one of the finalists who will oppose the winner of the group of Last 16.
"Relief," said Mourinho about his celebrations.
"Frustration before that and relief with purpose.
"We did not play to be in trouble until the last minute, so frustration."
With his team, Mourinho has been constantly criticized this season, mainly for United's turquoise style of play.
The belated victory may have softened the headlines of British sports newspapers yesterday, but they were still far from positive.
"Water Boy", "Smash & Grab" and the typically humorous play of the sun on the words "Garbage Water Charge" would have hailed Mourinho this morning when he was worried about reading the newspapers .
His exasperated reaction to Marcus Rashford's first failed attempt in the Young Boys conflict prompted former England-based television broadcaster Gary Lineker to jump on him.
"If I saw my manager react like that, I would be absolutely livid!" Lineker nodded.
However, Mourinho retaliated in a typically combative way.
"Can I, or another manager, have a frustrating reaction? I would invite these people to sit on the bench as managers.
"But I think it's perhaps best to spend many holidays in Barbados and go to the TV screen and touch the electronic mannequins …"
"For some of my lovers and those who love statistics, I have 14 seasons in the Champions League and 14 times my teams have qualified until the group stage.
"The season when I was not in the Champions League, I won the Europa League."
When he was finished, the boss of United earned a little time to congratulate the goalkeeper David de Gea, who made a great save in the 70th minute.
"He is the best goalkeeper in the world and if we want to have the best in the world, we have to keep him," Mourinho said of the Spanish international, whose contract will expire at the end of the season.
"I know that he wants to stay … and I also know that the board wants him to stay and they are working on it, so I hope that sooner or later they will succeed. to a conclusion. " – AFP, REUTERS
