José Mourinho suffered Leo Messi at the best moment of his career when he directed Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, but only now, without a team after his dismissal from Roma, does he openly acknowledge his admiration for 'La Pulga'
They are scarce the opportunities in which José Mourinho concedes glimpsed in which it shelve his egocentrism. The technician luso, an anti culé confeso from his exit of the FC Barcelona in 2000, surprised elogiando to Leo Messi in an interview for the channel of YouTube 'Ohm' where, besides, reviewed some key moments of his path like trainer.
"A footballer that had liked me train? An example would be Messi. He does not need that they train it, would be absurd to think it. It knows it all and was born with everything. Perhaps he can teach you things. Only it would be to say that had the honour to have it in the team", explained Mou in the talk with Ohm. For the one of Setúbal, the be at present without team allows him be a bit more reflexive of the usual, waiting for finding work again.
Leo Messi, an impossible dream for Mourinho?
After his exit of the Rome, Mourinho only would have opportunity to head to Leo if, for example, the Inter Miami offered him agreement, an option that seems complicated considering that the trainer luso would have to direct no only to 'The Flea', but also to Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez, all referents of a Barça that Mou confronted in multiple opportunities.
In addition to Messi, the ex technical 'merengue' filtered some other legends that would have liked him train. "Afterwards there are a lot of players. To follow with the subject of the Rome, had wanted to Of Rossi in the Inter and in the Real Madrid, but was not possible. Also it wanted to Totti in the Inter, in spite of the age, but was not possible. Always they are players to which want to train during all your career".
