DEFIANT Jose Mourinho vowed to fight on as Real Madrid boss yesterday despite facing a UEFA investigation and possible court case.
Former Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho was responding to speculation about his future in the wake of Wednesday’s fiery Champions League clash with Barcelona.
To remain at Real
Madrid makes more sense than ever before,” he said ahead of his side’s League clash with Real Zaragoza today.
Now I have more willingness to continue in charge of Real Madrid for what this means.
The (Real) shirt is white and white has meaning. I am in very good shape. My health is perfect and I am working as always.
But Mourinho, tipped to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, could not resist another dig at Barca, despite vowing not to discuss the matter.
It was Mourinho’s inflammatory remarks at his post-match press conference, after he had been sent to the stands during the 2-0 defeat on Wednesday that prompted UEFA and Barcelona to act.
Mourinho claimed the Catalan club received favourable treatment from referees and said Barcelona had yet to win a “clean” Champions League title under coach Pep Guardiola.
UEFA responded by saying they would investigate and Barca have not ruled out the possibility of taking Mourinho to court.
But referring to pictures that appeared to show that Pepe did not touch Dani Alves in the incident that earned the Real man a red card, Mourinho added: “I don’t want to discuss this any further and for a simple reason.
An image is worth more than 1000 words and there are so many images from that game that were shown all over the world, that I have nothing else to add.
