1. God, after god, me.
“上帝,除了上帝,就是我。”
——狂人一入主切尔西,便以“上帝第一 我第二”的姿态开始治军。他甚至给队员们发放了一份“穆里尼奥十诫”手册。
2. We have top players and, sorry if I’m arrogant, we have a top manager.
“我们拥有最顶尖的球员,在此请原谅我的自大,我们还拥有最顶尖的主教练”
——穆里尼奥在短短几年间赢得了冠军杯、联盟杯并蝉联英超联赛冠军,他不狂还能有谁能狂呢?
3. If he helped me out in training,we would be bottom of the league.
“如果他(阿布拉莫维奇)在训练场边帮我出主意,我们恐怕会联赛垫底。”
——耐源葡萄牙人讨厌老板干涉球队战术,这恐怕也是他如今下课的重要原因。
4. Look, we’re not entertaining? I don’t care; we win.
“我们踢得不够有观赏性?我不在乎,反正我们赢球了。”
——穆里尼奥的实用主义哲学让他招致了不少批评,但是赢得冠军才是足球场上的硬道理。
5. Everybody wants Chelsea to lose a game. When they do they should declare a public holiday.
“所尺茄有人都希望切尔西输球,如果我们输了,他们会把那天定为公众的节日。”
——05/06赛季初,切尔西一骑绝尘,穆里尼奥觉得他和他的球队已经成为“公敌”。
6. I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea.
“我想温格是那些偷-窥狂之一,他们喜欢观察别人,总是在家用大口径望远镜窥探别家的生活。他(温格)不停地在谈论切尔西。”
——狂人从不给对手“面子”,连温文尔雅的教授也不放过。
7. The circumstances are difficult for us with the new football rules that we have to face. It is not possible to have a penalty against Manchester United and it is not possible to have penalties in favour of Chelsea. It is not a conspiracy, it is fact. I speak facts. If not, I need big glasses.
“新规则让我们面对的’局面更加艰难,曼联的对手从来得不到点球机会,而切尔西却在这上面频频吃亏。这不是阴谋,这是事实。我只是在阐述事实,如果不是,昌困态那我需要配一副大号眼镜了。”
——穆里尼奥总喜欢用这种讽刺性的尖刻话语,给裁判和对手施压。
8. Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football
“压力?什么是压力?压力是穷人为填饱一家人的肚子而烦恼。足球毫无压力可言。”
——葡萄牙人的思维方式确实很独特,难怪他总是能在面对压力时获胜。
9. As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal.
“按照葡萄牙的说法,他们(热刺)带来一辆大巴,并把他放在了球门前。”
——切尔西被托特纳姆热刺0-0逼平后,穆里尼奥幽默地表示。
10. There are only two ways for me to leave Chelsea. One way is in June 2015 when I finish my contract and if the club doesn’t give me a new one. It is the end of my contract and I am out. The second way is for Chelsea to sack me. The way of the manager leaving the club by deciding to walk away, no chance! I will never do this to Chelsea supporters.
“只有两种方式让我离开切尔西:第一种,2015年6月合同期满而且俱乐部不和我续约;第二种,切尔西解雇我。主教练决定辞职,我决不会这么做!我不会这么对待切尔西球迷。”
——就像当初预言的一样,狂人以第二种方式昂首离开了斯坦福桥。
