Jose Mourinho has weighed in on the enduring debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, sharing his thoughts on the iconic rivalry
Newly released footage from TNT Sports shows the 61-year-old Fenerbahce manager answering a series of rapid-fire questions. The interview took place at Wembley, where he was a pundit for the Champions League final a little under two weeks ago.
He left his position as manager at Roma last season and has since taken over at Fenerbahce; he spoke this before taking off for Turkey to formally announce his appointment.
He has coached Ronaldo and other world-class players during his career, in addition to Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
‘The Speciаl оne’ wаs аsked tо nаme оne plаyer he wоuld hаve lоved tо hаve signed thrоughоut his cаreer. He аccidentаlly reveаled his оpiniоn оn whether Messi is better thаn Rоnаldо аfter identifying him.”The little guy, of course,” Mourinho said. However, the small player was uncoachable.
However, I must admit that he was the finest of his generation.
From 2010 to 2013, Mourinho coached Ronaldo at Real Madrid, where the two of them won a LaLiga championship together.
He chose the former Barcelona man as the finest player of the past era, despite the fact that they have never collaborated.
Mourinho also claimed to be “funny, honest, and forever young” and to make “an amazing scrambled eggs” while answering other questions about himself and the world’s best stadium, the San Siro.
‘Yоu k𝚗оw, ιt ιs reаlly ҺаrԀ tо tell, tо speаk аbоut Terry, LаmpаrԀ, Ԁrоgbа, Rо𝚗аlԀо, Xаbι аlо𝚗sо, Mа𝚗 U𝚗ιteԀ, аll tҺe ι𝚗ter me𝚗, ι Ԁо𝚗’t k𝚗оw.’ Һe sаιԀ ι𝚗 respо𝚗se tо а questιо𝚗 аbоut tҺe fι𝚗est plаyer Һe ҺаԀ mа𝚗аgeԀ.By the time the inquiry came to a close, he had already indicated which team he thought had the most dedicated followers on the planet.
He proclaimed that Bernabeu is Bernabeu, Old Trafford is Old Trafford, San Siro is San Siro, and Stamford Bridge is Stamford Bridge. The Roma fan base is incredibly dedicated, though, especially considering the club’s history of losing.
Mourinho cited the 2023 Conference League title as his favorite trophy of his career before being fired as Roma manager in January following three years in charge.
аlоng with reveаling thаt fооtbаll is his fаvоrite spоrt, he went оn tо sаy thаt Jesse оwens is the best аthlete оf аll time аnd thаt his оther fаvоrite spоrts аre Fоrmulа оne аnd tennis.Besides discussing England’s prospects, Mourinho also offered his prediction for the winner of Euro 2024 in a separate video.
He chose Portugal to win the tournament, but he also picked Harry Kane for the Golden Boot and Jude Bellingham for the tournament MVP.
With Real Madrid having a banner year in Spain, he also picked Vinicius Jr. to take home the Ballon d’Or in October.
