What's Mourinho said?

[Craig_H]

Sky Sports are banging on about something Mourinho's come out and said in the media tonight, but i cant see anything about it.

Sky arent going into it now, because it's 'for later' but Keys is pitching it as if it's something fairly significant.

Any idea?

The special one will be managing the special team in red next season?

[Craig_H]

I should've specified - no speculation allowed

Either you know what it's about, or you keep schtum

Might be this?

Jose Mourinho doubts CSKA Moscow's 'grey' progress to Champions League last eight



CSKA defenders Aleksei Berezutski and Sergei Ignashevich were both previsionally suspended after they tested positive for a banned substance following their group match away to Manchester United in November.

They were later found to have taken a cold medicine that had not been reported by the club's doctors and they were retroactively given one-game bans (which they had already served).

They were let off harsher punishment as UEFA accepted that club doctors had made a technical mistake. But Mourinho questioned the legitimacy of the club's continued participation in the competition.

"There's something grey about CSKA's progress in the Champions League. If two players go to an anti-doping control and a substance is found that's not allowed in the Champions League, there's something grey," he said.

The former Chelsea manager was speaking to the press for the first time since the last round of this comeptition.

He has boycotted the Italian media for the last six league matches since he was banned for three games after making a handcuffs gesture to TV cameras against Sampdoria in February.

It was the fourth time he had received a touchline ban since arriving in Italy but Mourinho explained his silence was merely to allow him to do his job.

"My press silence is doing me good because it allows me to sit on the bench and that's important for me," he explained.

"I've always said that a coach does not win a match from the bench but it allows him to stay close to his players and that's where I want to be.

"Not speaking about Italy or the Italian league allows me to sit on the bench, and no I don't want to risk that," he said in answer to a question about whether or not he would end his boycott.

And Mourinho added fuel to the fire of speculation that this will be his last season in Italy by admitting he retains an affinity for English football.

"I miss English football and English football misses me, there's no doubt about that, but right now I'm thinking only about Inter," he added.

"At Inter I'm very busy with the league, the Italian Cup and the Champions League. These occupy all my thoughts, preparing games and analysing them."

Looking ahead to Wednesday's game, Mourinho said he expected the Russians to keep things tight and lamented the fact that the second leg will be played in the Russian capital on an artificial pitch.

"If people think CSKA are not a team at the same level as a Barcelona or a Chelsea, they are nonetheless a very difficult team," he said.

"I expect a closed game, very defensive, which will need the highest level of concentration.

"I would have much prefered to play the first game in Moscow. The synthetic pitch will also be difficult for us in the second leg."

Hmmm, neither of those two suggestions warrant the semi that Keys seemed to have.

His coat fell off and the camera snap showed "You`ll Never Walk Alone" stitched on the inside.

[Shaggy]

He said he's fallen out of love with Italian football and is still in love with the English game.
