The Portuguese mentor has expressed that he is rooting for his former club to be triumphant in Europe’s most prestigious club tournament.
Real Madrid’s head coach, Jose Mourinho, has stated that he will be supporting English Premier League side, Chelsea, as they are on their way to facing German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, in the final of the UEFA Champions League.
The veteran manager revealed his admiration for the club that pulled off a remarkable feat by eliminating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the semi-finals of the Champions League, playing with just ten men at the Nou Camp.
The Special One clearly has a lot of love for his former club as he was not short of praise for the Blues.
Even though Mourinho’s own Madrid were knocked out of Europe on Wednesday, he showed little hesitation in showing his support for the club he managed almost 6 years ago.
Los Blancos suffered defeat at the hands of German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final fixture. The match that took place at the Santiago Bernabeu saw Los Merengues being knocked out of Europe as a result
of a penalty shootout.
However, the Portuguese tactician expressed that his side lost due to fatigue and stressed that he was focusing at Chelsea’s showdown against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena next month.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo’s men have had a rather uneasy season this year. From the sacking of their manager Andre Villas-Boas to their struggle in the Premier League, the fact that the Blues are still going strong in Europe in no short of extraordinary.
Mourinho pointed this out and remarked that the English team were heroes.
While talking to reporters, the 49-year-old quoted:
"I obviously want http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 to win, they were heroes to beat Barcelona with 10 men. Some people think they are the masters of the game and they will criticize Chelsea the way they criticized Inter two years ago. But they know nothing."
“They know nothing about character, they know nothing about effort, they know nothing how it is to resist with 10 men. I have my heroes at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567, I have my heroes at Chelsea."
Chelsea against Bayern Munich will take place at the Allianz Arena on the 19th of May.
