Jose wins.


In the battle of Jose vs Chelsea, note that I used Jose, not Inter, Jose won. The game was clearly the old boss against his old team.

And of course, the expensively assembled team at Chelsea can never outsmart their commander and chief, whom I presume with certainty knows them inside out. He set out to deny the Blues a win, and he did one better, he won at Stamford Bridge. This is proof that Jose Mourinho is one of the best tacticians there is in football if you want to win a match and a tournament for the matter. He is a brilliant tactician and more so, an incredible motivator. How else do you expect Inter to come to Stamford Bridge, the stronghold of Chelsea and bring them to their knees.

Sure, there were controversial moments and Drogba will complain about mistreatment again, but the Ivorian only has his own reputation to blame. He is a pathological diver, referees think twice about awarding him penalties and free kicks.

Looks like Roman Abramovich will have to take drastic measures next season to seal himself a Champions League trophy. Not only does he need to rid himself of the team which Jose built, he will need to give Carlo Ancelotti financial muscle to build a team worthy of doing just that. The Chelsea of today is too familiar to their nearest opponents and as long as Jose is around, they will never outdo him with his own team.

Sorry Roman, I still think you made the biggest mistake by letting Jose go. If all I wanted was to win a Champs League trophy, Jose Mourinho will have to be my top man for the job.
