Now for the Mourinho Hour (Mourinho hits back at recent attacks on Serie A by English media)

I’ve been reading about the English press bad talking the Italian game (sounds more like sour grapes, especially since a majority of top talent has been making it’s way to Serie A) but guess who has put on his shining armor to come to the rescue?  That’s right it’s The Special One.

I think Mourinho will quickly discover this ain’t going to be a walk in the park. Serie A will test his metal. Looking at total attacking output of match day one, Serie A trumps the Premier League

channel4 Football Italia – President Moratti, “The team played relatively well in what is always a very tricky arena and we can consider that a good result,” said the President.“It’s not like England here, there is always this constant level of pressure and no easy games, but I think Mourinho dealt with it. It could be a good lesson for him.”
