Portugal is a country that has always produced wingers of the highest class, from old school
stars like Luis Figo to the current legends in the making like Cristiano Ronaldo. Everybody in
Portugal always said that Quaresma had an extraordinary amount of talent; a player with speed,
toughness, and the ability to create something out of nothing.

I giovani non sono bamboccioni. E' questo, in sostanza, il pensiero espresso dal selezionatore
azzurro che esce allo scoperto. Marcello Lippi entra, infatti, sulla questione sollevata dal
tecnico interista, Josè Mourinho, e difende in modo totale ed incondizionato i giovani virgulti
del calcio moderno.

Phew, writing something vaguely interesting (even for me) at this time of the night here is
hard enough. Where do I start? I know, I'll start with a Lithuanian most of you have forgotten
about.
I was watching (albeit very briefly) Inter at Livorno the other day. It finished 2-0 to Inter
btw.

Manuel Pellegrini's coaching career at Real is in danger. The shocking defeat at the hands of
lowly Alcorcon has sent shock waves through the echelons of the most decorated football club in the
world.
Jorge Valdano and Florentino Perez have given the Chilean the Getafe match this weekend and the
return match against Milan in the Champions League next week to prove himself.

Alberto Paloschi, attaccante del Parma ma cresciuto nel vivaio rossonero; Nicola Pozzi, anche lui
bomber scuola Milan, arrivato quest'anno in Liguria, sponda blucerchiata, dopo quattro stagioni
trascorse in Toscana, all'Empoli, e infine Davide Santon, nato calcisticamente come esterno a
Ravenna e poi reinventato terzino da Mourinho che lo ha portato subito in prima squadra, facendolo
esordire in Coppa Italia contro la Roma.

In the early kick off today Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa despite taking the
lead through Didier Drogba. The signings of Dunne and Collins again proving themselves to be well
worth their money, as the pair notched a goal each at corners.
So far this season Chelsea have gone back to the boring efficient play last seen under Mr
Mourinho and as a Man Yoo fan I'm delighted that the Blues are beatable.

Ancora una stoccata alla ex squadra. L'ennesimo messaggio agrodolce, spedito dalla Spagna
all'Inter, da Zlatan Ibrahimovic, è di qualche ora fa. E crediamo che non far piacere a
Mourinho, nè a patron Moratti che tanto ha dato (in denaro e in popolarit ) alo svedese che, ora,
è uno dei tanti nella squadra catalana di Pep Guardiola.

News reports today suggest that Saloman Kalou is about to agree a new deal at Chelsea. It's easy
to see why Chelsea might be marshalling him towards putting pen to paper, but there's another side
to the coin...
When Kalou joined Chelsea back in 2006, he looked a promising player. Perhaps a little inconsistent
– especially in the final third – Kalou was at least dynamic, energetic and positive in
possession.

What did Big Phil do to those guys? For a long time say, from the latter days of
Mourinho through the start of the Hiddink Intercession the Chelsea dressing room was a hive of
choler and pique. The players visibly didn't like each other, didn't trust their manager (whoever
he happened to be), and generally had the air of passengers who have all privately concluded that
the ship they are on is sinking as they eye the exits and edge toward the only lifeboat.

E' stato in silenzio. Ha incassato gli attacchi, le punzecchiature, i colpetti di Mourinho, di un
collega che non ha mai perso occasione per tirare in ballo il tecnico rivale. Ma quando è troppo
è troppo. E, alla vigilia del delicato match di Serie A, che vedr i bianconeri di scena al
Barbera contro il Palermo di Zenga, il buon Ciro Ferrara rompe il silenzio e passa al contrattacco:
"Gradirei che la sfida tra Inter e Juve restasse sul campo - ha spiegato in conferenza stampa - Se
Mourinho non è un pirla, io non sono un fesso".

What sounded incredible two years ago, when Jose Mourinho arrived to Milano was precisely the
idea that the Serbian player will stay so long at Meazza. The media hurried to label him as
number one man for throwing out, especially because he was very close to former
coach Mancini, with whom he played in Lazio too.

Mourinho até pode ser tudo o que Zeman disse, excepto que é um treinador medíocre. Se medíocre
é conseguir tudo o que ele conseguiu, então Zeman é muito, muito pior que medíocre. Porque
será que o ser humano está sempre pronto a uma confusãozita? Dá-lhes Mourinho.
Pelo sua carreira não vejo como pode criticar Mourinho.

Internazionale vs FC Rubin Kazan
A match against the Champions from Russia might be exactly what the doctor ordered for
Internazionale after some poor performances recently. Inter lost their first league game of the
season on Saturday against Sampdoria and the week before had put in a very unconvincing match
against Napoli in a 3-1 win.

Scuola Calcio 28 September @ 01:57 PM EST
by Gareth Freeman - Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has always had a
bit of a reputation as an outspoken type of fellow but that looked like it had all changed when he
imposed a ‘media blackout' last weekend.
The former Porto and Chelsea boss decided to snub the press after he was sent to the stands during
Inter's win over Cagliari last weekend.

Può piacere o no. Questo è sicuro. Si è guadagnato tanti estimatori, con il suo modo di vivere
la Serie A, con la sua franchezza e le sue battaglie (come quella contro il doping), ma anche tanti
detrattori, tanti nemici che lo "odiano" ancora a distanza di anni. Ma ci mancava tantissimo, il
boemo Zdenek Zeman, e il suo ritorno è stato in grande stile, con un attacco all'allenatore più
"special" del campionato di Serie A.

After Chelsea's defeat yesterday, all the teams in the Premiership have now lost at least once

by another Premier League team.

Ma un uomo così, è in pace con se stesso? A Josè Mourinho piace litigare. Qualcuno può dire che
non le manda a dire, ma spesso ne dice tante, troppe che invade la pista della maleducazione.
Arrivò in Italia e dopo qualche giorno litigò con Claudio Ranieri tecnico della Juve sue
questioni anagrafiche e di bacheche.

Oggi, nel primo anticipo della sesta giornata in Serie A, si trovano di fronte Sampdoria e Inter, a
Marassi. Alle 18 e 30 non mancher certamente lo spettacolo e nemmeno i grandi protagonisti della
Serie A di Calcio. Uno di questi, Antonio Cassano, fuoriclasse dei blucerchiati, vuole continuare a
stupire tutti con le sue fantastiche giocate e i gol pazzeschi (uno lo fece proprio all'Inter
quando era ancora "in fasce") che fanno il giro del mondo.

It has been 16 months since the „Special One" took over Inter's bench and now
we are free to say that he made no impact. There hasn't been any progress and it is time for
Massimo Moratti to ask himself what was wrong with Roberto Mancini.
The fact that Inter defended the title cannot be considered success and most of Italian football
fans will agree with me on this.

With the upcoming opening round of Champions League fixtures imminent, perhaps the most mouth
watering tie will see Inter Milan face the current Champions Barcelona. An intriguing contest on so
many levels, not least to assess how the contrasting styles of both teams will fare, nor how the
cross Mourinho seems to carry from his days with Chelsea will manifest itself when it comes to
facing the Catalans once again in European Competition.

Jose Mourinho has continued his special ways as he announced his Inter Milan starting eleven an
entire day before his side's crucial Champions League fixture against Barcelona. The former Chelsea
manager was never afraid to pull this stunt during his time in the Premier League, and his latest
display raises the question: is the special one arrogant or intelligent?

L'Europa ribalta l'Italia
Juve in fuga e Milan in crisi in Italia. In Europa accade esattamente il contrario, il Milan vince
nel difficile campo di Marsiglia, la Juve s'impantana tra le mura amiche contro un bel Bordeaux. I
girondini non meritavano di perdere. Se ne è accorto persino Cobolli Gigli, che al pari del
collega Moratti non ha molta dimestichezza con forme geometriche del pallone di football.
