Jose Mourinho dedicated the Super Cup to Roberto Mancini and said this 2-2 draw is “a great response” to those who say Italian football is boring!

“We wanted to win this trophy and I'd say we deserved it, as we did more over the 120 minutes to earn this Cup,” he said after lifting the Italian Super Cup.

Inter were leading twice, but Roma came back for 2-2 and it was only decided in a sudden death penalty shoot-out.

“I believe we played very, very well, but must admit Roma did brilliantly too. For all those abroad who say Italian football is boring, this match is a great response!

“We got four goals, endless chances and spot-kicks, so it was certainly not lacking in drama. If everyone plays like Inter and Roma, then you'll get very entertaining sport.”

This is Mourinho's first piece of silverware in Italian football and since taking over at Inter.

“I have always had a bad record with penalties, losing the Cup in England last year and then the Champions League semi-final. Plus my Chelsea, albeit with another Coach, lost the Champions League Final on spot-kicks.

“I want to point out that I have won the Italian Super Cup, but I could only participate in it because Mancini won the Scudetto, so he deserves a portion of this trophy for all the good work he did with this team.”
go suck a c*ck, premierleague wankers
ur an idiot mate...no sense about the game!
The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, and the point of exhaustion, when no one else is around!

Does it really matter how many foreign players there are in the league? It's irrelevant to how good the league is.

Agree, both the original article by the English paper and Ulivieri's response were a waste of space

nothing wrong with Mourinho's comments though.
