Dani Alves: Jose Mourinho likes to pass comments whereas Barcelona let their game do the talking
According to media reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869 has voiced his opinion about Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho. He has claimed that the Portuguese mentor tends to enjoy the spotlight by passing comments about different teams and players.
He also attempted to make it fairly clear that Barcelona do not need anyone on their team to make such comments as he considers their game to be strong enough to make a statement.
The statement comes as a reaction to the comments made by the Madrid coach earlier this week. Mourinho had said that to find about the Barcelona’s opponents, who were to face the Catalans in their Champions League clashes, he had to search the internet.
This comment was used to point out that Barcelona’s opponents in Group H were lesser known teams. Apparently Los Blancos head coach was referring to teams such as Victoria Plzen and BATE Borisov, who are relative unknowns when it comes to European football.
The Brazilian international went on about this issue and stated that such comments were expected from Mourinho and his players. While talking to the Spanish media, Alves stated:
"We know what he is like. He is always trying to take merit away from others. We will just get on with our work and don't want to get involved with any of that. We're inferior in that respect and we like to do our talking where we do it best - on the pitch."
"Journalists love it because it sells a lot of newspapers, but we are focused on performing on the pitch."
Currently both Real Madrid and Barcelona are at the top of their respective groups in the Champions League. The Spanish rivals won their respective games in the mid-week with relative ease.
Barcelona faced Victoria Plzen, and they beat the hosts 2-0 with goals coming from Andres Iniesta and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629. Real Madrid, on the other hand, had stiffer competition to face, on paper that is. They hosted French side Olympique Lyonnaise at Santiago
Bernabeu.
The host came away with a rather comfortable 4-0 victory with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 all getting their names on the score sheet.
