A Short chat with Jose Mourinho (I am not a sore loser)


After the lose of the Community Shield to Liverpool, Jose Mourinho admitted that he did not shake hands with Benitez and was quoted as saying that he don't think it is important to shake hands or kiss. Of course, to most of the neutrals, Mourinho is a sore loser. He also blame the no handshake on Benitez as he felt that Benitez can come over to the pitch to shake hands with him. To clarify the whole incident, I had to have chat with Jose to find out more.

CrazyGuru : Hello Mr. Jose.

Jose Mourinho : Yes, what can I do for you? If you want to congratulate someone, I think you got the wrong number.

CG : Ah....no, I definitely got the right number. I think it wasn't that bad a result since it is more of a curtain raiser for the EPL season.

JM : EXACTLY....I don't know why the media is making a mountain out of a mole and also labelled me a sore loser.

CG : Oh ya. They said that you did not shake hands with Benitez because you just hate to lose to Liverpool.

JM : I don't like to lose, not just Liverpool. It applies to any other team. Nobody likes to lose, if I like to lose, then I won't want to be Chelsea manager, I will have apply for the Sunderland job. You know that Sunderland lost the same number of game we won for the whole of last season? Pathetic.

CG : Oh ya, I didn't notice that. So, back to your relationship with Benitez.....

JM : What relationship? I don't have a relationship with him, I am not gay. So, I don't kiss him in public. I am a football manager, so I manage the team, not just 90mins but 24hrs everyday as long as I am still contracted.

CG : I understand that but then you should at least offer a handshake to Benitez right?

JM : .................(slient)..................(silent)

CG : Hello....Mr. Jose, are you still there?

JM : Now, you tell me.......

CG : OK.....

JM : Who is the Special One? Me or Benitez?

CG : Ur....is you. But....

JM : Why "but"? Do you think I should offer the handshake or should he offer his hand to me? I am the Special One, not him.

CG : Um.....

JM : I stayed around after the game so as to give him the chance to offer me his handshake but he did not. He was cocky, running around and giving hugs to his players. He walked pass me a few times but still no offer of handshake. I kept quiet and even tried to smile a bit. Even when my staff asked me to go into the dressing room, I tried to delay the departure to give him a bit more time, but you know what?

CG : What?

JM : When he held the shield in his hands, he purposely deflect the sunlight on my eyes. It was glaring and really hurt my eyes.

CG : No....I don't think Benitez will do that. It must be accidental.

JM : Accidental my ass. Hey....I don't think I can talk to you, you don't understand me. (line cut)

CG : Hello....hello....


"A short chat" is a fictional conversation that came to CrazyGuru's mind while daydreaming.
