Фак, ненавижу, когда дайры так делают! Все по новой.
Итак, я удивлена. Не сказать чтобы очень, но удивлена. Прикольно так совпало: только вспомнила о футболе, залезла
по старой памяти на сайт Челси , и вот тут-то и оно! Офигеть. Гм. Ладно, Манише теперь не будет мерзнуть, ему несомненно понравится город, в котором он совершенно без проблем устроит свою жизнь, и он легко адаптируется в клубе, который лидирует в премьер-лиге с каким-то-там-непомерно-неприлично-Арсенал-что-ж-ты-ему-позволяешь-огромным очковым отрывом. Ладддддно, дорогой мой, прощщщщщщаю, все равно за Португалию играешшшшшшшь... Пусть его. Живи, играй. Коштинья-то, надеюсь, остается?
Maniche talks - and so does Jose¦
Thursday, Jan 05, 2006
Chelsea's new loan signing Maniche trained alongside his new team-mates for the first time today, and then he and manager Jose Mourinho spoke to Chelsea TV.
"I have worked with Mr Jose Mourinho twice, once in Benfica and once in Porto, and we have had a lot of success," said the 28 midfielder through an interpreter.
"I will play any position in midfield Mr Jose Mourinho wants".
Following the departure of Jose from Porto to Chelsea, Maniche starred for Portugal in Euro ЎЇ04 and scored the goal of the tournament in the semi-final against Holland.
"It was a special moment, scoring a goal in Europe in front of anybody. Obviously that's not the only reason I'm well known, I've won many things, I have a long history of it, I have won many things that any player would like to win".
Now he joins a side which is full of as many good players as any of his former teams. Especially in midfield!
"They are all good players. I will have the privilege of working with the best players in the world, I will have the privilege of working in a group of champions, and I came here to be with champions".
He comes not from Porto but from Dynamo Moscow for whom he signed in the summer.
"It wasn't a very good experience. I could not adapt to the club or the city. I've come to a club I've wanted to be with, and I'm very happy about that".
Asked to say something directly to Chelsea fans, he looked in the camera and spoke with a big smile first in Portuguese.
"I promise above all that within a month I will be speaking English and the only thing I can say is that I am very happy to be at Chelsea in Portuguese, and I will try to say it in English". And he did.
"I'm very happy to be at Chelsea".
Jose Mourinho spoke warmly and with strong management direction about his latest signing.
"Either I'm stupid or I love him. And I love him. I think he's a very, very good player and I think he's a protection we need at the moment.
"We lost Geremi for six or seven weeks, we have lost Essien for we don't know how long but certainly for the Champions League, we have lost Drogba. Gudjohnsen can be the striker we need because we don't have Drogba, but we have Makelele with four yellow cards, we have Lampard with two yellow cards for the Champions League, so we are in the edge of our balance in midfield.
"Maniche is a player who knows me very, very well, he knows how I train, how I prepare matches, how I like to play, he knows the tactical systems I use. It's easy for him to adapt and to give us an answer.
"At the same time he comes on loan, it's not an investment. He's a player to help us. And of course he has the ambition to stay, the ambition to sign for Chelsea in summer again, and he can do it because of his potential. So I think it's a very good option. And no more players for sure".
