"The objective is to win, as it is every time. We want to win, but we play against a team that wants the same. They play at home, they are very strong in the matches against the top teams and we know it will not be easy. “But which match is easy? It is easy only in the words of some people who consider that some matches in the Premier League are easy to win, but I cannot do that. "I arrived here in 2004 and, back then, no match was easy. Many years later, it is even more difficult, so, for me, every match in the Premier League is really difficult.” - Jose Mourinho |
"I understand the tradition, the emotions around with supporters, but I look at it in a professional way, to tell my players from the start of the season that every match is important. "Every point is important, there’s no easy match, there is no matches that you prepare more carefully than others. I am not going to be here now and say this match is more important than the others." - Jose Mourinho |
“For us it’s not a problem, but it's not nice for the opponents. Everybody knows there are better teams than others. At the end of the season we have proof of that when you have the champion, runner up, third and fourth. "I don’t think teams that aren’t going to be champions or top four mind that everyone says that. But to say they’re easy matches to win, I think is a bit aggressive to them. “We’re in a better position on the table, I think we are playing better, you are more confident because when you have better results, you have more confidence to play than if not. It’s a very difficult match for us, and I think it’s a very difficult match for them.” - Jose Mourinho |
"We want to win but we play against a team that wants the same. They play at home, they're very strong in matches against top teams and we know it won't be easy. "We must forget, like we always do, about the injured players who are not available for the match. We focus on what we have and we go strong, with a strong mentality and strong desire to win." - Jose Mourinho |
"So we go to where we go. We go to play who we play. There's big tradition, in an amazing stadium, and we know the fans have animosity against Manchester United historically. "But this is what we want. So we are very happy to have one more opportunity to play in these beautiful conditions. It's beautiful to play at Anfield." - Jose Mourinho |
"When Barcelona played against Las Palmas with an empty stadium, do you think the players are happy with that? Do you think the Las Palmas players wouldn't prefer to play with the Nou Camp full of people with a great atmosphere? "You speak about Old Trafford and, in this case, Anfield like it's a big problem, but it's a satisfaction, that's what we want. I never see a player complain that this atmosphere was a bit strong. "We complain when the atmosphere is flat. When we play at home and we don't see big enthusiasm in the people, we complain." - Jose Mourinho |
"You know, it's funny for me; Because, when people speak about big atmospheres, it looks like we don't like it. It looks like we have a big problem for us to go to a certain place and face a certain atmosphere. But this is what we want. "I am surprised that you speak about that in a negative way and I am even more surprised when you see former big players speak about atmospheres like they are something sinister, something that worries us. "It motivates us. It's something that we want. It's something that, if we could have every match, we would have it every match." - Jose Mourinho |
Manchester United are ready to make a £50million New Year bid to land Spurs defender Danny Rose, according to The Sun. And England star Rose has been left out of Tottenham’s official 2018 calendar – sparking fears his days at the club are numbered. |
“They always want to score goals in the first 10-15 minutes. We have to be ready for that, and we have to be very aggressive in the same way they try to be. “I’ve played [at Anfield] a few times and they always try to be like that, but we have the quality to stop them. It’s a big derby, it’s a special game for our fans and for their fans, so, I’m sure our fans will enjoy it and support us for the whole 90 minutes and we will try to make them happy, of course.” - Nemanja Matic |
“We have prepared very well. The manager got some videos for us to see what [Liverpool] have in their team and how we can stop them, so I’m sure we will be ready for them. “It’s like every game - we have to be focused for the 90 minutes, we have to take care of the small details, because they can be dangerous. “It’s very important to know at every stage of the game what we have to do. Every small mistake they can punish you, so our concentration is very important, but, of course, we have to use our quality to score some goals as well.” - Nemanja Matic |
"You know, in these kind of games, you should try to avoid mistakes because they can be a big part of the game. "In these kind of games, little details can change everything. But there are just three points [on offer], we have to stay focused and know how special it is for everyone." - Juan Mata |
"I have some good memories from playing against Liverpool, some not so good, with some defeats, but that day was definitely one of my best days as a United player, with two goals and with winning with that nice goal. "It was a perfect day and it always brings positive memories to my mind and to all United fans because I have to say, even two or three years after that goal, people keep reminding me about it." - Juan Mata |
"I think we have started the season really well and we arrived at the international break in a very good position, with confidence and playing. "But now it's different, it's a different game, it's a very special game [against Liverpool], so what you did [before] doesn't count. The 90 minutes count. It's just three points but it's something more than that in terms of what Liverpool-United means for everyone. But we're in a good moment and hopefully we can keep up the run." - Juan Mata |
"From now on until Christmas, it's really important. We play games every two or three days and play seven or eight games a month and that can define your season overall. So, we need to be ready for this physically and mentally and I think we are on our way." - Juan Mata |
tbaba1234:Noted and appreciate! |
tbaba1234: Am beginning to sense dt some peeps here re eida related to d players directly or indirectlyI'm ain't angry at you Bro, coz I know the matured Minds on the Thread. But it won't be a bad Idea if Member like the Poster above is cautioned from senselessly condemning Players suggested by another Person(s). This is a Forum for the Eagles Fans, Nigerians precisely, hence it's an open Forum for all Nigerians to make Inputs. There is no crime to argue on a particular subject matter, but present facts and Stats to back up your Points instead of personal views. The emboldened ain't Joke from him, and it kinda lame thinking those that suggested the Names are doing it for a Purpose rather than for the sake of the Eagles. This Template ain't NFF Board Meeting, also it ain't a Yardstick for Rohr to pick his Players for the World Cup. We are simply here to discuss the Team, our chances, likely Players, and catch fun not to resulting in Child-plays. |
tbaba1234: ![]() So someone can't peacefully make a contribution on this Forum except you are ready to tag along?! You should have said Kayode, Dele Aiyenugba are also my Brothers too! |
tbaba1234:All is well! |
safarigirl: ![]() Aunty..... this ain't a do or die Discourse. Lol! I've actually moved on from the Convo, but still appreciate your Input on the subject matter. Like every Super Eagles Fan, I hope for a best List from Rohr. |
jihday: ![]() Cased already closed bro! I've got your Points and I wish the Eagles best in Russia. We all want the same for the Eagles - soaring higher in Russia regardless to the Storm and the cold Weather. Rohr and the Board have the final say on the List, I pray they come up with the best. |
PDPGuy:I pray he does, fit and convincingly deserves to be the No. 1. |
tbaba1234:I'm ain't disputing that, but what of if he couldn't get a Club in January hence couldn't prove his Fitness?! |
tbaba1234:I agree with you that Aiyenugba can't be the No. 1, but can be invited to compete. However, on what Basis should Enyeama return to the Team as No. 1?! |
jihday:So Vincent is getting younger while Aiyenugba is getting older?! Lol! I'm ain't saying Enyeama should be ignored but has he proven his Fitness this Season at any Club?! We need to see him play before we can decide if he should be the No. 1 for the Eagles. Secondly have you Guys considered what are likely to happen if he indeed comes back to the Team?! We can't have two Captains in a Ship, and I'm kinda sure Mikel won't relinquish the Captaincy to him. Enyeama was the Captain to the last World Cup, thus he would want to retire honorably as a Captain again. |
Mickael2:Lol! That ain't a Correction bro, rather a Clarification. Coz he indeed won the Titles! |
jihday:If Aiyenugba is old to be in the Team as you opined, then Ezenwa should be the No. 1 I guess?! |
tbaba1234:Watched?!..... No! Followed?! maybe! But as far as I can tell - they are both representing their respective Clubs week in week out. |
elyte89:I know your preferred Candidate is Enyeama - solely based on past Glory. Let Enyeama gets a Club either Locally or Abroad to prove his Fitness and readiness for the Challenges ahead, before condemning the best Option at the moment. "Form is something that can easily vanish. If you stay out of sports for so long you lose form." |
elyte89:Even though this Site is known as a Faceless Forum, I think this Thread is known and appreciated for mostly intellectual Discourse and up to date Information on the Eagles Players. You do not need to lamely and childishly tackles another Person's Opinion simply to get Likes and Shares from the Bird of a Feather. When Aiyenugba was plying his Trade in the Nigeria League, he won the Titles 4 Times, won Africa Champions League 2 Times as well as Africa Super Cup 2 Times. Did he achieve these Feats by Luck?! What Ezenwa has achieved so far in the League as a Goalkeeper?! Seem you prefer Enyeama to be the No. 1 based on past Glory?! Sentiment aside, Aiyenugba deserves to be the No. 1 based on the Present Form, if you get any contrary View - state and back it up with Facts. Knowledge has no Boundary, perhaps I can learn one or two things from any Point(s) instead singing a Lullaby. |
tbaba1234:Aiyenugba or Ajagun?! If Aiyenugba is not good enough, then who is better than among the present Keepers we have in the Team now pls?! |
jotey: "Dele Aiyenugba is a very good keeper with experience and still active in Isrealite top league as number 1,he deserves a look but sometimes coach can think otherwise especially goalkeeper trainer.If you wanna laugh feel free to... coz you have every right to it. But that does not define you being logic with your opposition against his Inclusion. |
jotey:Mention any Nigerian Goalkeeper better and more experience than him presently? |
