Jose Mourinho's Greatest Hits

Admit it: you miss Jose Mourinho. :gila :gila :DD

Last week's fleeting return with Inter was like a favourite uncle dropping in on Boxing Day: full of wit, stories and presents, then dashing off before tea, leaving you looking around at the same boring faces as before and wishing he'd stayed a while longer.

Mourinho's love of the limelight is seen by some as vanity. His players, though, love it: it removes them from the pressure of the spotlight.

And instead of mumbled platitudes, fans are rewarded with pith, sarcasm and thought-provoking soundbites which fill in all those boring days between games.

In tribute to the man who could be loved or hated but seldom ignored, we present 10 of his most controversial moments. And it doesn't even include that Old Trafford touchline sprint. Or the time he was arrested trying to keep his dog out of quarantine...

February 2005 Mourinho wins his first trophy with Chelsea, but the Carling Cup victory is marred by his own sending-off after his team's late equaliser.

With Steven Gerrard – a Chelsea transfer target the previous summer – having unwittingly levelled matters with an nown goal, The Special One strolls down the touchline past aghast Liverpool fans, finger pressed to his lips in a silence gesture.

He later claims he wasn’t taunting Liverpool fans, but gesturing to the media who had criticised his side, telling them to “put their pens in their pockets.”

Presumably after tapping them thoughtfully against their pursed lips.

March 2005 Mourinho accuses referee Anders Frisk and Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard of a clandestine meeting during the half-time interval of their Champions League last 16 first leg.

He claims that he was “not surprised” to see Didier Drogba sent off for a dubious second booking, and breaks FIFA rules by preventing his players from speaking to the media after the game.

Mourinho receives a fine and a two-match ban (it's later claimed that this may have been partially circumvented by assistant Rui Faria wearing an earpiece under his bobble hat, while some say Mourinho hid in the dressing room and escaped in a laundry bin).

Frisk subsequently receives death threats, and – having already that season been struck by a coin at Roma – decides to retire. Mourinho is labelled the “enemy of football” by overexcited UEFA referee’s chief Volker Roth.

June 2005 Scandal! Mourinho is fined £200,000 after meeting Arsenal employee Ashley Cole in a hotel back in January. The fine is later reduced to £75,000.

October 2005 Mourinho labels Arsene Wenger a voyeur, suggesting the Frenchman has an unhealthy obsession with Chelsea.

“I think he wants my job,” Mourinho says about the Arsenal manager, who threatens legal action. Mourinho later apologises for the remark.

December 2006 Jose has a touchline bust-up with Everton boss David Moyes after Andy Johnson collides with substitute goalkeeper Hilario.

The Portuguese insinuates the striker has dived and later labels him “untrustworthy”. Again, the manager apologises after being threatened with legal action.

"I know you're there Arsene"

March 2007 Mourinho calls Mike Riley a *** – Portuguese for b*tch – during the half-time break of an FA Cup quarter-final against Spurs

Jose claims it is a word he uses regularly and goes on to call Mike Riley a “good referee.” No action is taken, and everybody carries on like grown-ups.

August 2008 It doesn't take long for Mourinho to bring his brand of newsworthiness to his new job at Inter.

After Juventus coach (and Chelsea predecessor) Claudio Ranieri says "unlike Mourinho I don’t need to win to be sure about what I am doing," the Portuguese blasts back in his usual style.

"Ranieri was right, I do need to win things to be sure of what I am doing. That’s why I've won so many trophies. By contrast he has the mentality that winning isn’t crucial and at nearly 70 years old he's just won a Super Cup and other small tournaments. He is too old to change his mentality.”

The Italian media, used to respecting age (although Raniari is actually only 56), react furiously. Corriere dello Sport calls the Inter boss “arrogant and offensive. Mourinho has responded to a nudge with a punch in the face.”

To quote children everywhere: "He started it."

October 2008 Catania CEO Pietro Lo Monaco takes the unusual step of suggesting Mourinho should have his "teeth smashed in".

This comes after a 2-1 victory at Catania prompts the Portuguese to say Inter "deserved to win 5-1" and that "had I played in goal in place of Julio Cesar, nothing would have changed."

Outraged, Lo Monaco says Mourinho has offended the whole of Catania and should "keep his mouth shut" or "take his beautiful suitcase back to his own country".

Lo Monaco is suspended for 40 days, while Mourinho says he has only ever heard of Monaco as a place for a Grand Prix.

"You want a piece of me... I'll take you all on"

March 2009 Mourinho launches a scathing attack on the Italian media after a 3-3 draw with Roma in which Inter are awarded a debatable penalty.

Replays of Mario Balotelli tumbling over a challenge are pored over in obsessive detail and, although a consensus isn't reached, Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri predictably agrees with Roma boss Luciano Spalletti and captain Daniele de Rossi that the youngster dived.

Noting Ranieri's punditry, Jose isn't jolly.

“I don’t like intellectual prostitution, I like intellectual honesty,” he says. "There has been great intellectual manipulation over the last few days to manipulate public opinion. We haven't talked about a Roma side with great players, lots of players I wanted to have with me, that will finish the season with zero titles.

"We haven't talked about Milan, who will finish the season with zero titles. We haven't talked about Juventus, who have won lots of points with refereeing mistakes." No, and now we're not talking about your players either, we're talking about you...

March 2009 After his Inter Milan side lose 2-0 in the Champions League last 16, there are allegations (which he strenuously denies) that Mourinho slapped a Manchester United fan outside Old Trafford. :gubrax

Fabio Cannavaro
Dari Scugnizzo ke Ballon D’or

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...navaro_oke.jpg

Ketika Diego Armando Maradona masih menjadi kapten Napoli pada akhir 1980-an seorang anggota skuad junior mencuri perhatiannya. Kagum akan potensi dan skill-nya, Maradona meramalkan bocah lokal bernama Fabio Cannavaro tersebut bakal menjadi pemain besar.

Well, pengamatan sang legenda tepat. Dua dasawarsa kemudian, bocah tersebut menjelma menjadi kapten tim juara dunia, bek tengah paling disegani, sekaligus Pesepakbola Terbaik Eropa.

Sebuah prestasi yang sangat gemilang mengingat sekitar 20-an tahun silam Cannavaro masih seperti para scugnizzi alias anak-anak jalanan lain di Napoli: bermain bola di pinggir jalan serta lapangan berdebu dan menghabiskan masa kecil di luar rumah.

“Napoli tak sama dengan Milan. Kami berbeda dengan kebanyakan anak-anak di Italia Utara. Kami mungkin lebih mirip Rio de Janeiro di Brasil,” kenang Cannavaro, yang lahir dan dibesarkan di kota di Italia Selatan tersebut.

Dibanding Milan atau Torino, Napoli memang terlihat lebih kumuh dan kalah glamor. Namun, justru masyarakatnya lebih hangat dan terbuka. Bahkan istilah scugnizzi, menurut Cannavaro, hanya terdapat di Napoli.

“Orang Italia pada umumnya menyebut anak-anak dengan ‘bambini.’ Namun, kami menggunakan “scugnizzi” yang pengertiannya lebih pas karena karakteristik anak-anak jalanan di Napoli,” paparnya kepada majalah Four Four Two.

Kebanggaan Napoli
Mengawali karier dari SSB (Sekolah Sepakbola) Napoli, Cannavaro masih ingat atmosfer unik saat mereka bertanding dengan tim anak-anak dari AC Milan, Inter, atau Juventus. “Pendekatannya sangat beda. Mereka selalu terlihat serius dan sedikit jaim (jaga image),” kenangnya. “Bahkan kebanyakan datang dengan setelan lengkap seperti jas dan dasi,” lanjutnya.

“Itu sesuatu yang takkan pernah kami lakukan. Kami sangat santai dan cuek. Pokoknya ingin bersenang-senang. Soal menang-kalah, itu urusan nanti,” imbuhnya.

Identitas sebagai warga Napoli sangat melekat di dada pria kelahiran 13 September 1973 tersebut. Karena itu, ia begitu bangga ketika dengan status penduduk asli Napoli malah ditunjuk menjadi kapten Azzurri yang lantas menggondol Piala Dunia.

Maklum, rata-rata warga Napoli ditolak dan dimusuhi oleh masyarakat Italia. Di sisi lain, para Neapolitan juga tak pernah merasa benar-benar menjadi orang Italia. Toh, ratusan ribu warga Napoli turun ke jalan dan berpesta merayakan kemenangan Italia di Piala Dunia 2006.

“Itu bukan karena nasionalisme. Mereka sebetulnya tak merayakan kemenangan Italia, tapi lebih karena ada warga Napoli mengangkat trofi di Berlin,” tukas Cannavaro.

Kini, kebanggaan tersebut bertambah lagi karena pemain kesayangan mereka dipastikan menerima Ballon D’Or (Bola Emas), simbol pemain terbaik Eropa.

Malam penganugerahan baru dilakukan Senin (27/11) di Paris, namun sejak pekan lalu pemimpin redaksi majalah France Football selaku promotor sudah mengonfirmasi langsung kepada Cannavaro di Madrid.

“Ini penghargaan prestisius. Secara individu, saya sangat menginginkan gelar ini,” ujarnya kepada BBC. Setidaknya gelar ini sedikit memupus kekecewaan Cannavaro, yang hanya meraih Bola Perak di Piala Dunia karena kalah tipis dari si perebut Bola Emas, Zinedine Zidane.

Warisan Genetik

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...isan/canna.jpg

Banyak yang penasaran dengan kehebatan Fabio Cannavaro, khususnya dalam duel-duel udara. Dengan postur 175 cm, Canna sebetulnya tergolong mungil untuk ukuran centerback (rata-rata bek tengah Eropa memiliki tinggi di atas 190 cm).

Nyatanya ia dengan gemilang mampu mematahkan nyaris semua ancaman dari udara. Banyak yang mengira ia bisa begitu karena berlatih squat sejak kecil hingga dapat meloncat tinggi.

Namun, Canna hanya tertawa ketika dikonfirmasi. Kepada Four Four Two, ia memberi tahu resepnya. “Sebetulnya itu faktor keturunan saja. Ayahku juga pemain bola dan ia memiliki kemampuan serupa,” papar Canna. “Jadi memang sudah ada dalam genku. Ayah mewariskannya padaku.”

“Dulu orang skeptis saat melihatku bermain sebagai stoper. Namun, kecepatan serta loncatanku menutupi posturku. Saat remaja saya sebetulnya bermain sebagai sayap kanan. Namun, di semifinal Kejurnas U-17, saya disuruh menempel striker lawan dan dianggap sukses. Sejak itulah saya menjadi defender, belajar penjagaan man-to-man, dan mengembangkan antisipasi.”

“Saya mendapati bahwa yang terpenting sebetulnya bukan tinggi badan, melainkan timing. Itu inti permainanku. Segala sesuatunya adalah soal timing dan itu bukanlah hal yang Anda pelajari. Itu sudah ada dari sono-nya.”

Ada pengalaman menarik saat Canna masih remaja. Tepatnya ketika ia selaku anggota tim U-18 Napoli disuruh mengawal Diego Maradona dalam sesi latihan.

Dengan semangat ia melakukannya sehingga Maradona terlihat kewalahan. Salah satu staf pelatih kemudian memintanya agar sedikit mengendurkan penjagaan. Namun, sang legenda tak sependapat. “Biarkan saja,” hardiknya. Kemudian ia berbalik menghadap Canna dan berkata,” Ayo, teruskan!”

Di akhir latihan, Maradona menghadiahi Canna sepatu sepakbola miliknya. Beberapa tahun kemudian Maradona bilang bahwa sejak dulu ia tahu Canna bakal jadi pemain besar. “Anak-anak lain biasa panik ketika berlatih bersama kami, tapi dia tidak. Setiap kali melihatnya saya yakin saya sedang menatap suatu fenomena,” kenang Maradona. (bry)


Suka Sepakbola Inggris

Tak banyak yang tahu Fabio Cannavaro sebetulnya menyukai Liga Inggris. Ia suka intensitas permainan di sana, bagaimana para pemain tampil habis-habisan, serta bagaimana passion para suporter.

Gara-gara itu, ia nyaris hijrah ke Chelsea pascavonis kasus calciopoli. “Saya sempat bicara dengan mereka. Baik Madrid maupun Chelsea adalah pilihan yang bagus, klub hebat, kota yang bagus. Namun, ketertarikan Chelsea tak sebesar Madrid,” imbuhnya. “Lagi pula ada faktor Fabio Capello.”

Selain kekaguman atas English football--Canna yakin dirinya bakal cocok bermain di Premiership--, ada juga fakta-fakta menarik tentang sosok yang dijuluki pesepakbola terseksi tersebut. Berikut beberapa di antaranya:

Cannavaro menikah dengan Daniela, gadis yang ia kenal sejak ia berusia 18 tahun. Dulu Canna cukup romantis, lho. Ia sering menulis surat cinta di dinding buat sang pujaan hati. Pasangan tersebut kini dikarunia dua putra dan satu putri: Christian (7 tahun), Andrea (2), dan Martina (4).

Ia punya lima tato: nama istri dan anak-anaknya, seorang prajurit perang di lengan kanan, dan gambar matahari di kaki kanan.

Bersama Ciro Ferrara, eks rekan setim sekaligus sesama Neapolitan, ia mendirikan Yayasan Cannavaro Ferrara guna membantu riset kanker di kampung halaman.

Andai bukan pesepakbola, Canna pasti menjadi pembuat piza. Ia bahkan punya resep khusus yang ia namakan Pizza allla Cannavaro. (bry)
