Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho fired back at journalists’ questions with the type of terse, bizarre and controversial lines that he has become famous for. Mourinho even strangely joked that a reporters’ line of questioning sounded “gay” when he was pressed to give a clue about the type of defender he was looking for. “You say blonde, brown, fair,” Mourinho joked of possibly desirable characteristics.
He bemoaned the pre and post-match analysis in Italy, saying he preferred England: “It’s easier to coach in England because people think about soccer for 90 minutes. In Italy there are 60 million coaches in the country.”
To complete the press conference, Mourinho was asked about former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, and whether he will do well after taking over at Chelsea. “Ancelotti is not my friend,” Mourinho sniped.
