After the loss to Tottenham, Mourinho burst out of the Post Match conference briefing as he demands for respect from the journalist. The Portuguese manager raised three fingers as a notation of him winning the three EPL titles after being subjected boos from Manchester United fans.
“We lost a game because we conceded a goal from the first corner of the match against us,” he said.
“In the first half zero corners, zero free-kicks, on minute 50-something they had one corner and scored a goal, and you want, with that goal, you want to transform the story of the game. “But don’t lose your time. Today I had the proof the best judge in football are the supporters.”
“I would do the same, losing 3-0 and taking two hours from here to the centre of Manchester.” The Portuguese then went on the offensive, suggesting those in the media questioning him were orchestrating a campaign.
“Keep trying. Keep trying. Keep trying. We lost last season here against Sevilla and were booed because we deserved it, because we were not good,” he said.
“Today the players left the pitch after losing at home and they were applauded because they deserved it.
“So keep trying. Do you know what was the result? Three-nil. Do you know what this means (holding up three fingers)? “Three-nil but it also means three Premier Leagues and I won more alone than the other 19 managers together. Three for me and two for them.”
Mourinho then left his seat repeating “respect, respect, respect” as he walked out of the press conference.
