Care Quote by Peter Chapman
“I don't get what's happening to Jose Mourinho of late. He's lapsing into the kind of Portuguese moroseness you get from staring at the Atlantic horizon and imagining you're the last place in the world, while listening to endless renditions of the fado. His latest line about 'everyone hates us and we don't care' sounds like vintage Joe Kinnear in the great days of the Wimbledon Crazy Gang.”

![“José Mourinho is a big star. He's nice. The first time he met Helena [Ibrahimovic's partner] he whispered to her: 'Helena, you have only one mission - feed Zlatan, let him sleep, keep him happy.' That guy says whatever he wants. I like him.” quote by Zlatan Ibrahimovic](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/806/zlatan-ibrahimovic-4418_bigs_jos-mourinho-is-a-big-star-he-s-nice-the_204614.jpg)
