‘I know how to win – but I don’t play,’ says José Mourinho after United defeat

José Mourinho said after the 1-0 defeat by bottom-of-the-table West Bromwich Albion that confirmed Manchester City as Premier League champions that he could “smell” a bad performance coming from Manchester United and that it left him questioning his players’ attitude.
Mourinho described United as “the masters in complicated football” and said they had been guilty of letting their 3-2 victory against Manchester City go to their heads, arguing that they would not be able to sustain a better challenge next season until Paul Pogba, among others, had started to show more consistency.
The United manager also gave a strong defence of his own record, listing some of his achievements with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Porto, after being asked how United could expect to overhaul Pep Guardiola’s team next season.
“I trust in my work,” he said. “I have no reason not to – eight titles and three Premier Leagues and the last Premier League was not 20 years ago. It was three years ago and I know how to win. I believe in myself but I don’t play.”
Jay Rodriguez’s second-half winner meant City securing the league title with five games to spare. “I don’t know if I was the first or second or third but I congratulated them face to face when I had the chance,” Mourinho said. “If I was in their position, I would be very upset if someone said they won because United lost against West Brom. They won because they were the best team and lost only a few points.”
Pogba was substituted after 57 minutes of United’s defeat and Mourinho did not make any attempt to conceal his unhappiness with the team’s performance and the inconsistency of his most expensive player. “Probably because I won eight championships, I was not in the moon with the victory against them [City]. It was only three points. That didn’t make me feel super happy and, in my opinion, it affected some of the people that were too happy. I have lots of experience because I won eight titles and I was not over the moon ... but I saw lots of people who were on the moon. During the week I was trying to fight that.
“With my experience you don’t titles with inconsistency. You win, of course, with quality, but with consistency in every level, not just the performance level but also the mental level. One of the things we have to improve is consistency.”

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.
I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.Thomasine, Sweden

Neymar: PSG star keen on Manchester United move because of sudden Real Madrid decision

Neymar could leave PSG with Manchester United and Real Madrid both tipped to enter a bidding war for his services this summer.
The Brazil international is reportedly weighing up whether to leave the Parc des Princes despite only joining from Barcelona back in the summer.
United are primed to rebuild their squad with Jose Mourinho determined to reel in Manchester City at the summit next season.
And Spanish outlet Don Balon say Neymar is keen to make the move to Old Trafford.
That is supposedly because Real Madrid have cooled their interest in him.
Los Blancos have always seemed to be frontrunners in the race for Neymar’s signature.
Club president Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of the 26-year-old with interest in the player dating back to his time at Santos.
Real are expected to embark on a culling of their squad come the end of the season, with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema likeliest to be shown the door.
But Don Balon say they are no longer pursuing Neymar as aggressively as before.
And that could pave the way for a sensational move to United.

Meneropong skema main Persija lawan Martapura FC. Lakon itu, bakal menjadi uji coba perdana skuad asuhan Rahmad Darmawan dalam persiapan menuju Liga Super Indonesia (LSI) 2015. Dan laganya, bakal dijajal Macan Kemayoran, Selasa (06/01/15).

Sebelumnya Macan Kemayoran Persija dijadwalkan akan menjajal diri saat beradu dengan Kelantan FA, Minggu (04/01/15). Laga itu gagal terlaksana akibat bencana banjir yang melanda Negeri Jiran tersebut.

Kehilangan Kelantan, klub Ibukota langsung bergerak mencari lawan latih tanding sekaligus menjadi ajang seleksi bagi tiga pemain asing, yakni Taavi Rahn, Cristian Febre dan Thierry Gathuessi.

"Kita akan uji coba pada 6 Januari melawan Martapura FC," ujar Rahmad usai latihan Persija di Lapangan Mako Brimob Kelapa Dua, Depok, Sabtu (03/01/15), seperti dikutip dariIndosport.

Pria yang akrab disapa RD itu enggan membeberkan lokasi uji coba karena laga tersebut hanya mendapat izin dari pihak keamanan jika digelar tanpa penonton.

"Tempatnya tidak bisa saya sebutkan karena digelar tanpa penonton. Kami dapat izinnya hanya untuk pertandingan tanpa penonton," lanjut RD.

Dalam laga uji coba nanti, rencananya RD akan menerapkan taktik bertahan dan menyerang seperti biasa. Yang paling akan diutamakan adalah bagaimana anak asuhnya melakukan penguasaan bola dengan baik.

"Dalam beberapa latihan terakhir kemarin, kita terus menggeber soal taktik menyerang dan bertahan karena memang waktu kita tidak banyak untuk hal lain. Jadi cukup pada konsep menyerang dan bertahan secara general. Untuk yang spesifik baru pada konsep penguasaan bola karena saya ingin tim kuat dalam hal tersebut," pungkas pelatih berusia 48 tahun tersebut.
