“If you have a Ferrari and I have a small car, to beat you in a race I have to break your wheel or put sugar in your tank.”
Simon Kuper writes about Jose Mourinho’s days at Barca where he performed translation duties for Sir Bobby Robson.
He is now Barca’s nemesis not so much because of their losses at his hands but in the anti- Barca philosophy he espouses. It is the antithesis of everything that the club holds dear.
Kuper:
“For decades Real Madrid functioned as Barcelona’s imaginary “other”. Now one little man has usurped Real’s role.”.
Just because of this, I expect to see him managing Real Madrid. The perfect melding of the two “others” causing Barca sleepless nights will be too attractive to pass up.
