Moggi: Mourinho, Balotelli both to blame for Inter Milan blow-up
23.04.10 | tribalfootball.com
Former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi says both Jose Mourinho and Mario Balotelli are in the wrong after this week's Inter Milan blow-up.
Balotelli is again on the outer at Inter after his meltdown at the end of their victory over Barcelona.
And Moggi says: "They are all guilty, Balotelli must recognise and understand that he has to come back down to earth. It's not enough to have talent to become a champion. You must learn to behave.
"Inter could not handle the player, Mourinho in particular. You don't, during a semifinal of the Champions League with Barcelona, put the guy on, then after five minutes begin to rebuke him blatantly.
"It was like encouraging the audience to boo and the boy collapsed."

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti fears there may be no way back for Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli angered fans at the end of Inter's victory over Barcelona by throwing his shirt to the ground.
Moratti said: “Now it's difficult to mend.
“It's not impossible, but something will have to give… It's as if Balotelli committed suicide in public. But I have faith in him and I don't intend to sell him.
“I don't know if he'll play against Atalanta. There is a lot to do. We'll see.”
Inter Milan GM Paolillo: Balotelli must not allow apology to drag on
23.04.10 | tribalfootball.com
Inter Milan GM Ernesto Paolillo admits management are fed-up with the antics of Mario Balotelli.
Paolillo says the youngster should apologise immediately for his behaviour at the end of the victory over Barcelona.
“The club and the President have already commented on what happened, declaring it a gesture that should absolutely be condemned,” commented Paolillo on 7Gold television.
“All the other issues will be discussed with the player behind closed doors.
“We have all been 18, the age of rebellion, but I hope Balotelli can soon reach the age where he realises you cannot behave this way.
“You apologise straight away and not after a while. I hope his apology will be in the form of great goals for Inter in the next few games that can bring him closer to fans and teammates.
“It would be the best way for him to say sorry.”

Massimo Moratti previews semi-final return leg
Monday, 26 April 2010
It's a difficult time for Mario Balotelli. Will there be a chance for him in Barcelona or will he have to wait until after the semi-final?
"Both the coach and the player have to think about organising a meeting. There is a possibility of Balotelli going with the team to Barcelona, but it's more likely that everything will be patched up after the Camp Nou game."
Mourinho: "A positive result"
Wednesday, 31 March 2010
"Anyway, I don't understand why you talk about a problem between me and him. It's not a problem between Mourinho and Balotelli. I'm the coach of Inter. It's a problem between the club and Balotelli."

Inter Milan boss Mourinho confirms interest for Lazio fullback Kolarov
30.04.10 | tribalfootball.com
Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed interest in Lazio fullback Aleksander Kolarov.
The Serbia international is interesting several clubs, including Real Madrid, Liverpool and Inter.
Speaking with Serb radio, Mourinho said: "Kolarov is an extraordinary player. Lazio is not a great team. Personally I would really like to be his coach. The only obstacle to a possible negotiation with the Biancocelesti club could be represented by the cost of the transfer.
"(Lazio president Claudio) Lotito is asking a lot and the situation is not simple. Anyway, I wish the player to quickly find a great team that allows him to make the final leap."作者: zszi 时间: 2010-4-30 12:39:26

Mourinho: "We go to Madrid as heroes"
2010年4月29日，6:13:02
MILAN - An emotional José Mourinho spoke on Rai Sport after guiding Inter through to the Champions League final. "Tonight we were a team of heroes on a pitch where the heroes left blood," he said. "This victory belongs to everyone: of those who played tonight and those who weren't on the pitch, of the fans who suffered here at the Camp Nou and those who suffered in their homes. This page of history that we have written tonight is something to tell our grandchildren about, not the press. It's an absolutely incredible day.
"This is our party and I want all the fans to come to the airport and wait for these boys, and I want them in Rome where we will play another final. I can imagine their joy because all of our fans know how hard it was tonight. It was hard with eleven men, let alone ten. This is the most beautiful defeat of my life, but this team deserved to draw 0-0.
"I have already won the Champions League, but winning today was even sweeter. I won that cup 3-0 and I already knew I was champion before the final whistle. It wasn't the same today. I'm not a good player, but if I could have played I would have left blood on the pitch."
Celebratory runs and shouts of joy. This was José Mourinho after De Bleeckere blowed for full time. "Barcelona were expecting to win but they already had an enormous surprise at the Meazza," said the Inter coach. "And when we saw certain phrases on T-shirts and other episodes, we knew our opponents were afraid. We would have won the game with eleven men, but we had to deal with the injury to Pandev, and thanks to the bravery of Chivu who was spectacular and prepared for the match in ten minutes. And then Thiago Motta was sent off. It was an incredible game.
"My joy is that this Inter has won against Chelsea and Barcelona and has a European dimension now, whether it wins the Champions League or not. The fans? I thought is was impossible to find an empathy like the one I built with the Chelsea fans but now I have found an even greater one with the Inter fans. Do I like Italian football more now? No. I respect everyone and everything, but I no longer like it. My future? For now my path goes to Rome, then Siena and then Madrid."
The dream of all Inter fans came true thanks to a compact and solid team capable of avoiding provocations, including those of Lionel Messi. "Messi is Messi, an absolutely incredible talent from another galaxy," said Mourinho. "But like his team-mates, he didn't play with enough strength today.
"I can guarantee you one thing. Next year I will return to play at the Camp Nou. It always happens to me, but something will happen to me every time I go there. The red card for Thiago Motta I had in the past with Drogba. Unfortunately Thiago lost it a bit but I didn't say anything to him. I preferred to use the interval to talk to my players.
"De Bleeckere's refereeing? I don't want to judge him. Before the game I said that when the referee's job is much easier when the players help him. I think somebody didn't follow this advice today..."
