The two-time Champions League
winner has previously claimed that his
compatriot "thinks he knows
everything" Jose Mourinho has taken another swipe at Cristiano Ronaldo by claiming that that his fellow Portuguese is not
the "real" Ronaldo. The Chelsea boss, who recently stated
that his former charge at Real Madrid
"thinks he knows everything",
insinuated that he has more respect
for Brazil legend Ronaldo, with whom
he worked during his time at Barcelona under the guidance of
Bobby Robson. "I was manager for the first time in the
2000 year but, before that, I was
assistant in big clubs and with big
managers and coaching the best
players in the world, so I was 30 and I
was coaching Ronaldo, not this one [Cristiano], the real one, the Brazilian
Ronaldo," Mourinho told ESPN. "I was coaching Rivaldo, I was
coaching [Luis] Figo, I was coaching
[Pep] Guardiola, I was coaching big
players when I was very, very young. "So, at that time, I was not the
manager, I was just an assistant but I
was feeling that I had, in my hands,
some potential and after that I start my
career in the year 2000 and after four
years I won my first Champions League and, after that, everything
comes as a consequence." Mourinho left Camp Nou in 2000 to
coach Benfica but it was at rivals Porto
that he became a household name on
the back of their remarkable
Champions League success in 2004. Mourinho: Chelsea www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4099/spain/2013/08/03/4162645/cristiano-is-not-the-real-ronaldo-mourinho?ICID=HP_PN_1
