http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/chelsea/article324324.ece Why Mourinho is consumed by one rival Chelsea manager's latest comment about his counterpart raised eyebrows but there is a rational explanation. Jason Burt reports (选录) Published: 03 November 2005 There is, as Mourinho wants, focus. "He has to have an enemy," said a source in Portugal yesterday who has known the self-styled "Special One" for years. "It's important because it helps him to focus as well. In Portugal it was normal for him to do that. At Porto there was always a feud with Benfica or Sporting Lisbon or sometimes both. It's the same method as he is doing now. Nothing has changed." To be fair, both men have been sorely misquoted in the newspapers at times and the media as a whole has been all too eager to stir up the conflict, especially as it appears the football is a one-horse race. But do not be fooled by the managers' claims of innocence. They are keenly aware of the effect their words have and although Mourinho has become annoyed at his inability to control the press here as he did in Portugal, there is a game being played at which they are both masters. And it's not football. (这篇新闻立场蛮中立。认不认同看个人了XD) 老大需要敌人，这样能让他更专心於球场。温格与英超大部分的经理人相当不同， 他超级低调，极度专注於足球，所以莫里尼奥认为他是最大威胁。 The reason why Mourinho does so is simple. It may well be genuine, but it is also calculated. Of Ferguson he says: "He is a great manager and uses his power and prestige... I call him boss because he is the managers' boss. Maybe when I become 60, the kids will call me the same." One thing is for sure. Wenger does not call Ferguson boss. It is a club he refuses to join. "He's studious, quiet and totally committed to football, perhaps too committed," Curbishley said. And that is what Mourinho is worried about and why he wants to destroy the only viable threat he faces in the Premiership - and why Wenger himself hits back. ~~~~ 切尔西需要被痛恨!! ~~~~ --
