Jose Mourinho Taunts Title Rivals With Funny Speech

Mourinho, who is well known for his mind games and controversial speeches, went on to tell a "fictional story", as he called it, which was supported by illustrations about this year's title race.

"This is a football pitch with two goals, one ball, but there is one team that would like to play without goals," he said at the start, mocking Manchester United.

"That team plays really well and the ball goes and goes and goes, and the quality of the ball possession is really beautiful, but no goals.

"And they ask the international board of FIFA to play like this, but they were told that it was not possible, that the bigger percentage of ball possession doesn't win matches and they were not champions.

Then, in direction of Manchester City: "After that there was another team that were less radical and they asked to play only with one goal.

"They were fantastic and they scored a lot of goals and the goals were coming from every position, and they score and they score and they score, but they never conceded goals, because no goal.

"Again, the international board told them 'I'm sorry, you can't be champions because football is with two goals'."

Finally, in direction of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal: "The third team was almost there, because they wanted to play with two goals.

"They were scoring some, they were also conceding some. They were fantastic. They scored really beautiful goals, they concede some goals too and they were almost there.

"But they asked the international board to play only between January and April. And they (were) told 'no chance, no chance'.

"You have to play between August and May, so they couldn't be champions."

About his own team, he concluded: "Finally come another team. They wanted to play with the normal rules and they know that to win matches they had to score one more goal than the opponent.

"How can you do this? By scoring a lot of goals or not conceding and scoring one.

"And they did it both ways. Scoring a lot, conceding some. Scoring one goal and conceding no goals.

"That was the option and they played from August till May - and sometimes they brought the bus."
