During the press conference held on Friday, Jose Mourinho had another say. The "Manchester United" manager immediately contradicted the television experts' opinion that "Sevilla" will achieve nothing in the UEFA Champions League. Some commentators wrote off the Spanish team even before their quarter-final clash with the "Red Devils". For example, former "Chelsea" and "Man United" player Ray Wilkins said that "Sevilla" would struggle to survive in the English championship. However, Vincenzo Montella's players managed to eliminate Mourinho's army, which currently holds the second place in the "Premier" league, from the strongest European tournament. They now have to prepare for the FA Cup match against "Brighton & Hove Albion."
'Do you think "Sevilla" doesn't have players who could make it into my team?' - spoke the Portuguese.
'I can't name them, because if I did, their agents would jump for joy. There are many footballers in the ranks of "Sevilla" who would play in my team.'
'So, fans read a lot of what people write, they listen to what people say. Those people who write and those people who speak are people with a lot of ideas. I used to call people with a lot of ideas idealists or idiots. They can be both.'
'In my dictionary, which is the dictionary of life, those who listen to ideologues also listen to idiots.'
Mourinho also later said he does not want the goals set by fans for "Man United" players to decrease - they simply have to accept failures, as they will become stronger that way.
