Jose Mourinho has laughed off Roberto
Mancini’s claim that he was responsible for Inter Milan’s UEFA Champions
League success in 2010, Associated Press has reported.
The current Chelsea manager replaced
Mancini at Inter in 2008 and led the Italian side to two Italian league
titles, the Italian cup and the Champions League.
Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s Champions
League last-16 game against Mancini’s Galatasaray, Mourinho said there
was no doubt who was responsible for Inter’s success.
He said, “It’s funny, it’s funny. It’s
funny because my team in the final had Lucio, Thiago Motta, Diego
Milito, Samuel Eto’o, Goran Pandev and Wesley Sneijder.
“From my 11 players, he didn’t work with
six of them. So he made a five-a-side team because I played with only
five players from his team.”
Mancini had earlier claimed, “Mourinho
won the Champions League because he took a very good team. He took a
team that, like Manchester City, I had built, a team that had a strong
mentality. When I went to Inter, they played very bad football and we
changed this.”
