From Guardiola to Mourinho, from Mou to Pep and Guardiola again. Now the one who has responded is the Manchester City coach to the Fenerbahce coach after José Mourinho himself did not bite his tongue in the press room and stated that he had won his three Premier Leagues “fairly.” A statement that has now been replicated in an attempt to tone it down.

In the end we are similar, Mourinho won three Premiers and I won six, but it’s the same, we are together in those situations

The exchange of words between Guardiola and Mourinho

It all started again with the gesture with which Guardiola reminded the Anfield stands of the six Premier Leagues he has won, a gesture that recalled the one Mourinho made in the press room with his three titles and opened a debate where they were compared. And it was a question after the game against Liverpool that provoked this response from Sampedor: “In the end we are similar, Mourinho won three Premier Leagues and I won six, but it’s the same, we are together in those situations.”

When I lose, what I don’t want is to have to be on the lookout for 115 complaints for skipping Financial Fair Play

A comparison that Mourinho did not like. “Guardiola said something about me,” he began by saying before wanting to defend his work: “He won six Premier Leagues and I three, but I did it fairly. When I lose, I want to congratulate my rival because he was better than me. What I don’t What I want is to have to be on the lookout for 115 complaints for skipping financial Fair Play,” he responded forcefully and unequivocally.

If I have offended you, I am very sorry, but it was a joke.

Well, the issue has not stopped there and as if it were a ‘run and tell him’, the Manchester City coach is the one who has responded to The Special One again: “If I have offended him, I am very sorry, but it was a joke,” he begins by saying so as not to continue making the ball bigger. “The fact is that he is three and I am six, it is a fact. But the intention was completely good,” he continued responding to the journalists present.

An answer that continues: “I think that both of us with our teams, he with Chelsea, me with Manchester City, we can sit at the table with Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger… right? Because of the many, many titles we have cattle”. A comparison for which he wanted to make a prediction for the not-too-distant future: “I’m pretty sure that sooner or later they will congratulate us.”
