The Special One: ‘I was the only choice for the Portugal national team’

A long time ago, Jose Mourinho was nicknamed ‘The Special One’. Of course, he was the author of that nickname. And over the years, he tried to live up to his nickname. But since his football success faded with each club he took over, his quotes remained more and more memorable. And just recently, when Portugal were left without manager Fernando Santos, Mourinho became the first option for the new coach. He was silent during that time, but now, he publically spoke for the first time about the topic, and made sure that everybody remembers that he was still the Special one.Tammy’s uncle Jose waves off Portugal as he wants to focus on his Roma job“Today I can talk to you and say something that maybe you are not very interested in, but I want to thank the president of the Portuguese Federation. What he said made me very proud, saying that I was not the first choice, but his only choice and that he would have done anything to get me home. He made me very happy. But I didn’t go, I’m here and I’m giving my all” said Mourinho after the Coppa Italia win over Genoa.Mourinho is back, and so is Dybala, who scored the winner against GenoaFormer Chelsea, Real and Manchester coach was replying to the Portuguese Football Federation president Fernando Gomes’s quotes in the media. The first man of Portuguese football was asked if Mourinho was the first choice, to which he replied that the only concrete proposal was given to Roberto Martínez, who accepted the role. But The Special One wanted to be in the center of attention and spoke about it without being asked. Or maybe he wanted to reveal something only he and Gomes knew.José Mourinho, at the Thinking Football Awards:”When I called myself a ‘Special One’ in my first press conference in England, two days earlier I had been European champion with a Portuguese team. Two days later, I’m confronted with doubts of wether I’m good enough or not.” pic.twitter.com/CaMKXd6eC9— IM🇵🇹 (@Iconic_Mourinho) November 19, 2022 “I feel good in Roma. I’m doing my best here and that’s all that matters. I always do my best in the environment in which I am engaged. It is true that I have not spoken to representatives of the Italian media in the past two months, for one reason only. I was suspended, and when that’s the case, I don’t make statements. Now the sentence has expired and I am available for all questions” said the Portuguese.##NAJAVA_MECA_6945074##
