Bolas e Letras
Era para ser sobre futebol e livros. Mas há tanto mundo mais, a mente humana dispersa-se perdidamente, o país tem tanto sobre que perorar, eu perco-me de amores bem para lá da bola e das letras: Evas, vinho, amor, amigos, cinema, viagens, eu sei lá!
The one and only - José Mourinho
“People talk about style and flair but what is that?” he said. “Sometimes I ask myself about the future, and maybe the future of football is a beautiful, green grass carpet without goals, where the team with more ball possession wins the game. The way people analyse style and flair is to take the goals off the pitch. It’s the football they play on the moon – where the surface is not good, with some holes but no goals. “Everyone speaks about teams playing fantastically well because they ‘had great ball possession’. It looks like the goals aren’t important. They conclude a team that scores as many as we do is boring but a team with 70% of the ball who don’t score isn’t. Maybe, when my grandsons play, football will be a game without goals and we’ll just enjoy people passing the ball. But when football is played without goals, you will say it’s boring. You will say bring the goals back. For me, it’s still about putting the ball in your opponents’ net, and keeping it out of your own.”
