The 49-year-old tactician has been warned about a hostile reception awaiting Real Madrid’s arrival in Munich for their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg.
Jose Mourinho will lead his Real Madrid charges on to the Allianz Arena pitch for their Champions League semi-final first leg.
A hostile reception for Los Blancos is expected from the Bayern Munch faithful as the two European giants renew hostilities in the elite club competition.
However, the 'Special One' is unfazed by what the crowd will have to say to his expensively assembled array of footballing superstars.
The Portuguese tactician played down the security concerns that might afflict Real Madrid players and stated that he has full faith in the UEFA representatives that will oversee the European fixture.
"To tell you the truth, security issues are where UEFA means business," the two-time Champions League winner stated. "There will surely be plenty of fire fighters if there are fires or h***s, as you said.”
Reflecting on the details of the match, Mourinho expects a tough game with both teams looking to get the best off their rivals.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager praised Bayern for their enterprising playing style and anticipated a tactical battle on the pitch.
"Bayern will play with a lot of heart, which is nice in football, but they can also play very well.”
"I think that this match will be more tactical than normal and that it will be a great game."
Mourinho also had kind words for English referee, Howard Webb, who has been given the responsibility to officiate the crunch European fixture.
The Madrid head coach stressed that they have a good repute with the match official and knows he will rise to the task given his experience of handling such delicate fixtures.
"Webb is a good referee, with a lot of experience in matches of this level," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 coach noted. "Madrid have good sensations with every referee.”
"We will help him do his work for him to make good calls, knowing that he could err and that there could be a debatable penalty, like one of those which gives three points ..."
The semi-final fixture kicks off at 20 45 Central European Time on April 17.
