Re: Rafa Benitez's wife should 'take care of her husband’s diet!’ - Mourinho

by Art Morte Wed 29 Jul - 8:46:16

The Guardian wrote:Jose Mourinho found time in his post-match press conference to attack Rafael Benitez, the Real Madrid coach, after Benitez’s wife teased Mourinho by saying he left a mess at the Bernabeu that her husband will have to clean up.

“Real are the third of Jose Mourinho’s old teams [that] Rafa has coached,” she joked. “We tidy up his messes!"

But Mourinho said: “The lady is a bit confused, with all respect. The only club where her husband replaced me was at Inter Milan, where in six months he destroyed the best team in Europe at the time."

“And for her also to think about me and to speak about me, I think she needs to occupy her time, and if she takes care of her husband’s diet she will have less time to speak about me.”

Wow @ the diet pot shot. the Inter jab - "destroyed the best team in Europe in six months" - was a hard one, but that diet thing, too far, imo. But it's Mourinho.

what an idiot

After all these years, Jose still has the ability to get peoples panties in a bunch Laughing

Who really cares what he says outside Chelsea related things?

It's as relevant as Pele's Predictions. Just ignore it.

lol @ that diet jab....wow lol that was below the belt, even by mourinho's standards

by Vibe Wed 29 Jul - 10:19:13

He was mocking the fact Real Madrid are making him diet,not the fact that Rafa is fat.

So disrespectful, still not a new low for him.

It's still much better than poking a cancer patient in the eye and then saying the press should ask tito why he was complaining about the eye, like he did nothing.

i never heard about us making rafa diet....i think you saw that rumor somewhere online (an extremely short-lived rumor that began before rafa signed and disappeared almost immediately, stating that florentino was concerned with rafa's weight and gibes it could provide opposing fans) and just ran with it. florentino can get a little personal with squad members e.g. telling ronaldo (the original) to be like figo and settle down and raise a family; but making rafa diet seems a fat Smile

lie

Mourinho is all logic nowadays. :wub:

by titosantill Wed 29 Jul - 12:13:50

@free_cat, the eyepoke was wrong, but i don't think at that point people knew of tito vilanova's illness. the poke if i'm not mistaken took place in 2011 before the season started, and the public (to my knowledge) only knew about his situation months after, winter of that year. i don't think at the time he was a cancer patient, neither do i think mourinho knew he what he was going through.....mou can be a handful at times, but i doubt the guy would do that to a cancer patient. he's a troll not a nazi

by Guest Wed 29 Jul - 12:39:02

Mourinho is ice cold Laughing

The funniest thing to me is that Benitez wouldnt even be considered fat in the part of America where I live. Looks like a normal dude.

@titosantill
Just for curiosity's sake - how on earth to you get to that nazi comparison? I'd have said "he's a troll not some lowlife". I agree that the nazis were a kind of lowlife, too, but the horrors they inflicted in people go far beyond anything despicable that Mourinho does.

BTT: Maybe Mou's lady should take care that he's regularly taking his meds? hmm

by Lord Spencer Wed 29 Jul - 12:51:48

In this situation, I think Mou was justified to retaliate.

What the hell does Rafa's wife have to do with him. Why mention his name in any way.

by Blue Wed 29 Jul - 12:58:57

classless from Mou as always tbh, but this is what you get for poking the bear.

by titosantill Wed 29 Jul - 13:07:04

@ rwo power, my comment was based on another comment that assumed mourinho assaulted (using the word loosely) a cancer patient, in this case the late tito vilanova. i was just pointing out vilanova didn't have cancer at the time/ if he did, it wasn't public.....and if mou knew what vilanova was going through he won't have poked him, cos only lowlife/a nazi type individual would go and start bothering cancer patients...it was never a comparison between mou's antics (which can be witty humor except when u or ure team is on the receiving end) and nazis...

by M99 Wed 29 Jul - 13:10:28

Mou should have stopped after he said Rafa destroyed Inter. There was no need to bring up that diet thing, that's just classless. But hey it's Mou, this is nowhere near the worst thing he did or said.

by Gil Wed 29 Jul - 13:45:38

I cringe whenever I see the word classless used in football. Stop regurgitating boring baseless shit like that ffs.

And he was only responding to his wife taking a shot at him. "You come at the king you best not miss" would probably be the best way to describe this.

You don't attack a man's physical condition. He might be ill. It was a worse comment than Fergie's about Ronaldo back in 2013.

you have a reputable for source that? Or is it some bs from the Daily Mail and the like?

by Unique Wed 29 Jul - 16:15:15

Mourinho talks a lot about a lot of people, but I prefer to talk about facts.

"At Liverpool, with a squad half of the value of Chelsea, we twice knocked his Chelsea side out of the Champions League.

with the most expensive squad at Real Madrid, he did nothing in the Champions League. Now he says if there is an offer of hundreds of millions for Hazard and Oscar, maybe he can build a strong squad to win something."

rafa been putting mourinho in his place since 2005. Proud

By the way, kicker.de have fun with Mourinho in their headline. They write: "Nutritionist Mourinho makes a dig against 'confused' Mrs.Benitez"

He's on point though. Mrs Benitez shouldn't have opened her mouth at all and why mention Jose if Rafa is taking over Ancelotti and not Mourinho...
