The Special One, honored by Chelsea on the Champions League night, already thinks about the challenges against Juve and Naples: words that know of the arrow to the bianconeri
José Mourinho never misses an opportunity to leave his mark, for better or for worse. After the tribute received at Stamford Bridge on the Champions League night against Chelsea, Benfica’s new technician immediately turned on the spotlight on the next challenges, starting from Juventus. “In Turin I will certainly not find the welcome I had here,” he said, suggesting that the atmosphere against the Bianconeri will be far from warm. Words that inevitably have the flavor of the provocation, even if immediately diluted by the consideration: “Juventus remains a giant and I am happy to face it, as well as the Napoli champion of Italy”.

The London evening, however, was not only sharp statements. Mourinho got excited in front of Chelsea’s public tribute: “It is English culture, when you have an important story behind it, here they know how to recognize it. It was the same with United, with Inter, with Tottenham”. The defeat arrived on the field, but the Portuguese technician looks at the glass half full: “I have been here for ten days, with four games and one complete training. I have already seen compactness, organization and the ability to create occasions against a very strong team”. A thought also in the past, with the memory of the 2010 challenge with Inter: “Then we played for the draw, today not. That race was decisive for our Champions League: she gave us the conviction of being able to win”. And on the calendar, Mourinho closes without words: “I couldn’t play at home with the Qarabag, now they touch me very difficult games. Okay.”
