Mourinho in Milano

The press conference at Inter Milan was mad, I have never experienced anything like it. We were kept waiting at the gates to the training ground until Mourinho was ready for us. We'd been warned that the room for the press conference was very small and that we had to get there early. We did, but had to queue up in the car park with the rest of the media interested in hearing Jose's words of wisdom ahead of the Champions League match. When we got through the gates, the crews that knew better were dumping their cars and running for a space. Off went Andy and Dennis, to get us our spot. Having bagged a spot, Andy turned his back and another cameraman was moving his tripod from the vantage point in the line of cameras.



Up on a podium, watching all these grown adults running round like headless chickens was Mr M, cool as cucumber, enjoying the scene in front of him. He's a man in control. He's just great. He speaks Italian fluently, and therefore, manages to put the media in its place in any language. Oh to be able to attend more of his press conferences, he's entertaining, enigmatic and egotistical. He's honest too and that's so refreshing.
