Sir Alex Ferguson backs Jose Mourinho’s sideline antics
The Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Jose Mourinho’s side line behaviour.
The Portuguese tactician, Jose Mourinho was involved in a bit of a brawl as Real Madrid faced Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. While Barcelona won the two legged final of the Spanish Super Cup, Jose Mourinho was involved in a bit of action as the second
leg ended at the Nou Camp.
The first match between the two teams took place at the Santiago Bernabeu and while Barcelona were trailing 1-0 in Madrid, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 helped Barcelona take the lead just before the half time whistle.
The first leg ended 2-2 and it was simply frustrating for Jose Mourinho as his side were definitely the better of the two, throughout the 90 minutes of the game.
While the first leg ended 2-2 in favour of Barcelona as they had an away goal advantage, the second leg ended 3-2 at the Nou Camp as Barcelona won the home leg and claimed the trophy.
Right at the end of the game, Barcelona’s new signing Cesc Fabregas was taken down by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 assistant coach Tito Vilanova.
Even though many believe that it was an act of utter disgrace, the legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson thinks otherwise.
Sir Alex Ferguson believes that such antics on the sidelines attract the fans as they know that the manager is fighting hard for the team. He said that even he used to be up for such antics when he was younger but now he has matured up and he sits on the
bench as he watches the game.
Sir Alex Ferguson was quoted saying:
"I don't find anything wrong with his enthusiasm.”
"When I was younger I showed more enthusiasm on the bench too. I was always gesticulating and directing. It's Mourinho's nature to be agitated.”
Sir Alex Ferguson believes that there is nothing wrong with supporting the team and doing pulling off such antics as they really help the team perform against a tougher opposition. The Scottish manager also thinks that while the manager is trying his best
for the team, the players are motivated and they perform better than expected.
Sir Alex Ferguson recalled the game against Porto when Jose Mourinho was in charge of the Portuguese side. He said:
"When I saw Mourinho run up and down the touchline at Old Trafford when he coached Porto, I said to myself, 'Did I also use to do that?' People recognize his enthusiasm. The fans understand that he's fighting for them and for the squad.”
Jose Mourinho is currently considered to be the favourite to replace Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson at Manchester United as the Scottish manager will be retiring soon.
