Was Mourinho talking about them winning the champions league with four canteranos, or did he simply say they were champions with four canteranos?
Are you trying to tell me that demogorgon opened his mouth without checking the facts, Alma? Shocking, if true...
Mea culpa if that quote is accurate. Record had it differently. http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Internacional/real_madrid/interior.aspx?content_id=775023&via=fb I have tried to find the video of the presser but haven't seen it anywhere yet.
This is what I read in Marca: "Cuantos más jugadores podamos tener, mejor. Cuantos más jugadores 'made in Real Madrid', mejor. El otro día un señor ha dicho que le gustaba mucho la formación y no la compra de jugadores, ese señor ha sido campeón una vez y tenía cuatro canteranos muy buenos: Romario, Laudrup, Stoichkov y Koeman". No mention of Europe or Liga. I did not watch the press conference. I do not read Sport or El Mundo Deportivo... not since they gave my dog's ass a rash.
Alma's transcript is more accurate - it only mixes up the order of the players (he said "Koeman Romario Stoichkov y Laudrup" and not in the order stated by Marca), the rest of his transcript from Marca is pretty much exactly as Jose said it. It's not just your Spanish that sux (something comes to mind about workmen and tools, and all that)
You're right. Listening to it for the first time it doesn't seem like he is linking one with the other. In the end, who cares though? It was a great zinger regardless (though not as great at the shots he took at Cruyff in 2005). There is plenty that I don't like about Mourinho, but he can be a badass if you want to have a go at him. LOL
The way I heard it, it's like a double bitch-slap. A more accurate translation than demogorgon's beloved Sport one would read: "The guy only won one CL [unlike my bad self], and although he's spouting his canterano crap now, when he was actually managing his main four players were all bought".
I love Viggo, but for a moment when i read the title i was like YOU ARE DEAD TO ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT, but then i read that he's actually a fan of Real Madrid so, we are cool again!
