And so Liverpool did it again. Beating Chelsea in the Champions' league semi-finals through penalty kicks and no controversial goal for Mourinho to lament about.
(Flashback : Luis Garcia scored a goal which barely crossed the line in 2005 before being cleared. Mourinho refused to accept the fact that they lost to a better team.
My personal view, these kind of things haappen in football, sometimes they happen in your favaour, sometimes they don't)
Mourinho has failed to do what he did with Porto in his final 2 years at the club.
He was the mastermind behind Porto's back to back success in Europe in 2003( the UEFA Cup) and 2004(the Champions' League).
He hasn't performed too badly at Chelsea, (sadly) beating Man Utd on his EPL debut and winning the premiership for 2 consecutive seasons.
And a League Cup here, and a Community Shield there.
That's it.
This must be making Mr Abramovich very anxious as European glory seems to overlook them ever since 1998.
(Flashback again, Gianluca Vialli - Mr palpitating-veins-on-forehead-are-so-cool - led them to victory in the now defunct Cup Winners' Cup in 1998.)
Abramovich spent millions and millions on the cream of Europe's crop.
(That is if you consider Michael Ballack and Andre Shevchenko the "cream".)
In return?
He got peanuts, domestic championships and some random cups.
I personally feel Mourinho should leave Chelsea and go back to coaching anywhere else but in Britain.
He's not doing really well by the standards of his club owner, and he doesn't seem like a very friendly man.
He took a swipe at Rafa Benitez, with a tongue-in-cheek remark by saying that Rafa was lucky to still be at Liverpool although he hadn't won the Premiership ever since he got there.
And he concluded that our very own Cristiano Ronaldo was not very well educated in his latest spat with Alex Ferguson.
(I am a Man Utd fan! Glory glory Man Utd! )
The only thing that I might find interesting is that he is a WWE fan.
Goodbye Mr Mourinho..(or so I hope it shall be)
Till then!
