Besiktas manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come out to say that he hopes to inflict one of Jose Mourinho’s bad nights in the Super Lig. Both ex-Manchester United bosses are set to battle each other in Turkey as Besiktas take on Fenerbahce on Sunday.
According to him, it will be good to see Mourinho again after their controversial war of words when he criticized Son Heung-min for diving, and he intends to make it one of Jose’s bad nights in football.
Ole added that there is nothing better for a football team than consistently winning matches at home.
His words, “I remember that one. He has all the charisma of course and I don’t think any of us change a lot when we have come this far. It will be good to see him again and hopefully the headlines will be about the team and the football that is played and nothing else.
I saw from Gala, when you are at home and winning these games there is nothing better. If you are at home and you don’t win, there is nothing worse. Football is decided by moments. You see last night [Thursday], Athletic had two or three massive chances and Victor [Lindelof] saves one on the goal line. Then it all changes. The margins between winning and losing in football are so close. It is better to be lucky than good sometimes. Hopefully, it will be one of Jose’s bad nights.”
WOW.
José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.
Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.
His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
