Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho glad Cani's red card revoked, shows interest in Adebayor
Real Madrid boss, Jose Mourinho, said in an interview that he was pleased that Villarreal’s midfielder, Cani’s, red card for throwing a water bottle at him, was withdrawn.
The Villarreal player reacted to Mourinho’s exaggerated celebration towards the end of the fixture against Villarreal, which ended 4-2, when recently returned midfielder Kaka, scored the fourth goal for Madrid.
The 47-year old Portuguese manager left the safety of his technical area and rushed to the Villarreal bench and celebrated the goal by punching his arms in the air as he was facing the visitor’s bench.
Cani reacted by throwing a plastic bottle at the Madrid coach assuming Mourinho was trying to incite his side.
However, Mourinho revealed after the match he was celebrating with his son, who was seated behind, the Villarreal players.
Mourinho said while speaking to reporters, “I am glad Cani's red card was rescinded because he is an important player for Villarreal. Nevertheless, if one of my men throws a bottle at someone he gets a three month suspension. If I do it I will never train again. He threw a plastic bottle at me. I don't consider it an aggression. It was just a gesture from yet another person who thinks everything I do has negative connotations”.
Mourinho may be expressive to say the least, celebrating as if he was one of the players on the pitch.
However, not everything he does is aimed at provoking the opposition and the only lesson we learn from this episode is that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cani-c8305 is a sore loser.
Even though Mourinho seems to have forgiven him, there should be serious action taken against such a player, who is capable of throwing objects at managers, when his incompetent team is not having its way on the pitch. Temper tantrum much?
Jose Mourinho interested in Manchester City’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526
Jose Mourinho revealed that he plans to bring Emmanuel Adebayor to the Bernabeu on a loan move during the January transfer window.
Mourinho’s star striker Gonzalo Higuain is out recovering from surgery and is not expected back until the end of this season.
Mourinho said while speaking to reporters, “In two months, Higuain will be training, in two more, playing. But he won’t reach 100 per cent before next season. It’s what I expected. I wasn’t counting on him for this season, so I can’t be disappointed”.
Recently, Adebayor has had trouble adjusting wherever he goes. His time at Arsenal was marked with rows with both players and the management.
He finally transferred to Manchester City, where the problems did not stop, which goes to show it was the player, and not the club, in both situations.
Under Roberto http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323, especially with the signing of better strikers like Edin Dzeko, Adebayor is well aware he will not get first team playing opportunities, which is why he will be eager for a move elsewhere.
However, if the move does go through, how long will the troubled star last under the Portuguese manager at Madrid?
