The Self Proclaimed “SPECIAL ONE”

Jose Mourinho always likes the limelight.Doesn’t he? As he did it again by calling himself the “Special One”.He does it time and again with the footballing world.

After leaving Real Madrid and moving back to the bridge,Mourinho is all set to give the red devils a good run for their money.With David Moyes under all sorts of pressure to keep the winning streak alive and moreover fill the boots of the “SIR”,it will be a contest to watch out for.

Mourinho after leaving Madrid claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo knew it all.He said that the player would not grow anymore if he did not change his attitude.This was when,he had left Madrid.Going back in time,one would realize how contrary the statements were when he was a part of the world’s richest club.Probably that’s Jose Mourinho for you. The potuguese found his initial limelight when he guided Porto to an unforgettable champions trophy conquer.

The very next season he was signed by Chelsea and he helped the blues triumph in England for the next two years.After,coming to Madrid people had their own speculations regarding the clash of big names in the spanish capital and with the arrogance of Jose Mourinho some predicted it to be true.However,Mourinho silenced all the critics by making three of the biggest transfers of footballing history:-Kaka,Benzema and ofcourse CR7.The same year Madrid won the league and probably that was the icing on the cake for Mourinho.

Come next year,and Mourinho missed a trick here.Barcelona,had already taken a 15 point lead by by the time Madrid had even come out of their last season party mode.Mourinho started making strange decisions and the people at Madrid made their voices heard.He left out Iker Casillas and Pepe out of the starting eleven and played strange selections.The people that follow football like a religion can’t be kept out of the game for long and the directors at Madrid made their decision.

After leaving Madrid Mourinho called himself “The Special One” as he thought or rather believed that he is the coach that every club wishes to have.He said in an interview,that it is not Madrid who beat Barcelona this season but it was Jose Mourinho’s men.

I really wish Mr.Mourinho all the luck because even if after having all the backing of Roman Ibrahmovic,Chelsea fail to win a single competition this year,then I am afraid it would be loud and clear that football is a team game and not which any “Special One” can control from the sidelines.
