I remember it at the time and i have seen it many times since, i am convinced he did it deliberately. The force that he puts into the stamp is what gives it away for me.
Not exactly.
The first interview Jose did after winning the league he congratulated the Chelsea family, the players that aren't always necessarily in the first eleven but when called upon are ready and when sitting on the bench don't fuss and moan. I think Jose loves team players. He mentioned Cech (and his save against Everton), Remy (and his goal against Hull) and even Mikel giving us stability in midfield whenever selected or coming on as a substitute..
I think, he mostly appreciates the fact that Mikel is content with being a squad player, doesn't complain and does the job when called upon.
But that's the thing, do we really want a player that is happy to play a very small amount of games a season ? to me that sounds like he lacks ambition and sometimes i think that shows on the field. Mourinho likes players that are focused, is great at working for the team and can do all the hard work, i don't see this often enough from Mikel. He often loses focus and i don't think he is great at tracking back and i don't think he is working as hard is he can on the field. I think he is very far away from what i would call a Mourinho type of player.
I get where you're coming from mate, but I suppose you need those kind of players to keep the squad harmony or you'll end up with what I think United might have this year, too many big names or egos not getting game time and throwing their toys out the pram.
Interesting mate if true, I like the way we do business these days. A lot more prudent and happy to walk away is the deal doesn't suit all parties. That's the impression I get anyways.
I think he is a fan in the sense that he keeps his noise shut, doesn't complain and is happy to come on and do a job when he is needed and puts in a shift, past that no not much of a fan I would think
