remaining challenge* after being champion in England and Italy
and winning the CL, is to be a champion in Spain.
After that... only winning the world cup remains.
* Provided he has saved and invested wisely, of course.

Originally posted by SeitseYeah, sorry, thought it would be clear from context. How many "Pérez"s are intimately connected with Real Madrid's management?
By Pérez you mean Florentino, the president?
Sorry, Pérez is such a common last name in the Spanish
speaking world.

I am sorry, your paragraph was badly built and the lack of punctuation
confused me rather than the name.
Now I get it. Care to confirm? You said:
* Arrogance is the only path to consider Real as a good team.
* Florentino will abandon Madrid and get on with his life.
* Mourinho may coach Madrid.
Correct?

I meant:
* Real are a "difficult" club to manage because the president interferes with the management too much.
* Mourinho is arrogant enough to believe that he is special, and Florentino will treat him differently to all the other recent managers. So he might well accept.

Indeed Madrid, and Spanish teams in general, comes across as
having a nosey board.
If they want Mourinho, though, he can lay down the law and get
what he wants. I mean, the dude is not broke or lacks praise and
success.
I think I read somewhere that Benítez tried the same when offered
to return to Spain but it was denied. Benítez, though, is not the
Special One 🙂

Originally posted by PalynkaI haven't seen Inter play so well for a long time. The Special One once again out-foxed one of the other great coaches. Sneijder is nothing short of amazing. And they're beating Chelsea in the physical power part of the game too!!
Inter started great. They're botching the passes but they are showing great movement. Interesting to see Maicon's role on Malouda. Chelsea seems more like they're playing they're usual game while Inter needed to fit themselves to them.
Also I have to ask: What's wrong with Chelsea? They pass like a junior team and a bad one at that. They've been whining about the ref's decisions since 15 minutes into the game. And they forget basic rules like pressing the player with the ball when the defensive line tries to get the attacker offside. Otherwise it's way too easy to pass at the right time.
