Jose Mourinho,very special alright.
The guy's a winner through and through. Though his methods may not win the world over like a certain Pep Guardiola,you gotta hand it to the guy that he produces results.
Inter have now gotten the monkey off their back after 50 odd years,and in doing so,joining the unique "treble winners club" (last folks who did it were a certain Man United, who coincidently beat Inter's opponents tonight to achieve the treble.Thus,Bayern Munich must be holding the record for "Treble Winner's Bridesmaids".Sucks to be them)
A certain galactico project owner must be salivating at his alleged target's achievements.
Anyhow,the match was decently entertaining.Immense tactical discipline from Inter,never ever allowing Robben to cut inside onto his favourite left foot to let fly (why is it that only Mourinho realized this,and not Prandelli,Ferguson,Claude Puel?)
Diego Milito proved the difference in the end,with very very cool finishing indeed.And the ability to craft chances for himself as the lone wolf upfront. The first goal,route 1 football with a simple pass from Sneijder.The second goal, fooling Van Buyten so well that he had time to open up his body and pick out the corner and plant the ball beyond the despairing reach of Butt(u read that right.And no relation whatsoever with Nicky)
Thus, I now owe my colleague lunch as I picked Bayern to win, though I knew Inter would win it. I just like supporting the underdogs,and I have a certain respecting dislike of Jose Mourinho.His teams don't play pretty football,but boy are they efficient.
So here's congratulations to Inter Milan,Champions of Europe,Serie A,and Coppa Italia for 2010
Wonder when Mourinho's going to Real Madrid.He could probably get the best out of Benzema(woeful),Higuain (not quite perfect yet,but still amazing) Kaka,Ronaldo et. al.
