ROBERTO Mancini mengingatkan Jose Mourinho untuk tidak ikut campur dalam urusannya.
Pelatih Manchester City ini gusar mendengar 'Special One' mengatakan Mancini akan dipecat setelah tampil buruk di Liga Champions dengan Real Madrid musim ini.
Mancini menyerang balik: "Mourinho bos saya. Dia bukan pemilik klub. Apa yang dikatakan Mourinho, enggak penting. Dia terlalu banyak bicara."
Pelatih asal Italia ini menggantikan pelatih Portugal tersebut di Inter Milan pada 2008. Dan Mancini mengacuhkan Mourinho saat jabat tangan yang menjadi 'aturan' antarmanajer pada akhir pertandingan Rabu malam di Etihad saat Manchester City bermain imbang melawan Real Madrid.
Hasil laga memuluskan langkah Madrid ke babak berikutnya sementara klub asuhan Mancini tersisih dari Liga Champions dua tahun berturut-turut. Namun bos City ini menegaskan bahwa pengalaman terbaik di turnamen klub bola terbesar adalah mustahil untuk mengharapkan sukses instan.
Mancini bilang: "Kami Manchester City, bukan Real Madrid atau Manchester United atau Bayern Munich, yang memenangkan setiap musim selama 100 tahun dan memiliki sejarah hebat."
"Itu baik bagi kita, kita ingin menang setiap tahun tapi dalam sepak bola itu mustahil."
Hanya satu tim bisa memenangkan Liga Premier Inggris dan hanya satu tim bisa meraih juara Liga Champions.
"Kita perlu bersabar untuk Liga Champions," kata Mancini seperti dikutip The Sun.
ROBERTO Mancini has told Jose Mourinho to keep his nose out of his business.
The Manchester City chief was irritated to hear the Special One say he would have been sacked had he performed as badly in Europe with Real Madrid this season.
Mancini stormed back: “Mourinho is not my chairman. He’s not my owner. What Mourinho said, isn’t interesting. He wants to talk about everything.”
The Italian was replaced by the Portuguese coach at Inter Milan in 2008. And he ignored Mourinho and the traditional handshake between managers at the end of Wednesday night’s game at the Etihad when Manchester City drew with Real Madrid.
That result confirmed Madrid’s passage to the next round while Mancini was out at the group stage of the Champions League for a second year in a row. But the City boss insists that, without the experience of Real in club football’s biggest tournament, it is impossible to expect instant success.
Mancini said: “We are Manchester City, not Real Madrid or Manchester United or Bayern Munich, who are used to winning every season for 100 years and have big history.
“We’re Manchester City and for 35 years we didn’t win but in two years we’ve won three trophies.
“That is good for us, we want to win every year but in football it’s not possible.
Only one team can win the Premier League, only one team can win the Champions League.
“We need to be patient for the Champions League," kata Mancini seperti dikutip The Sun.
