Mourinho: Rafa won't do as well as me!
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has come out all guns blazing against Rafael Benitez, his successor at Inter Milan.
Mourinho left Inter for Real in the summer after leading the Italians to an unprecedented Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble.
He was reacting to reports in Italy claiming Benitez had ordered all images of the Portuguese off the walls in the Nerrazzuri training camp.
In comments reported by The Sunday Times, the Special One said: "One thing is certain, [Rafael] Benitez won't do better than me [at Inter]. Another thing is also true that should he lift the Intercontinental Cup, he will have only won two games compared to my 13. Therefore it will be my trophy and not his.
"I don't need photos to make those around me love me as they carry me in their hearts. When I was Inter coach I never asked for the images of Herrera or Mancini to be taken down.
"If they don't like my photos it's not a problem. I always shared a great rapport with the Inter family.
"I wish Benitez success in his new role, not because I love him but because he is coaching a team that belongs to me, my fans and my president."
And these comments showcase why there is never a dull moment when the Portuguese opens his mouth.
Inter begin their defence of the Scudetto with match at Bologna on August 29.

Ah Ben would have expected this to happen when he took over the Inter job.
Jose just love to dig at his old friend so that the press will take good care of him when the season starts.
Even if Ah Ben doing well, Jose will claim the credit for the building the team.
So, Ah Ben will most probably gain nothing for doing good and get all the blame for doing bad.

Rafa will win the TREBLE too.............
1) Worst Manager of the year
2) Worst Team of the year
3) err........what else ah ?

Hard to say, he lost some friendly matches and there are no outcry yet.
So, he may be able to make it in Inter Milan during the 1st season.
When he start importing his pets from Liverpool, then the decay will start.

with Milan old and dying...........
Roma broke......
Juve half-dead...........
even Mark Hughes should win the title with Inter.............

Inter is almost a sure bet to win the title for the next few years, they have the strongest squad, and probably the most money as well. The italian league is still in a rebuilding process. If Benitez can fail and allow someone like Rianieri to win the title, then he really sucks..

Imagine Jose winning the spanish league title with RM this season.
He would have created a record for himself.
The next league for him to conquer will be in German or France.
What about S league ?

Well taunt.

Imagine Rafa screwed it up and Inter not retaining the Serie A title.
