van Gaal on mentoring Mourinho at Barca:

"Jose was very modest back then. It was nice watching his development,
to see that he has become such a personality. I knew he would help me
because he was so passionate. He quickly noticed that I brought him
forward. I think I educated him a little. I could immediately see he
had an understanding of the game."

"He trains to win. I train to play beautiful football and win. My way
is more difficult."

Hey, I like the way that Van Gaal dude is squashing the pup's face in his
own caca. The mix of irony and condescendence is brilliant. ;)

It is, though there is a last laugh to be had soon.

Nooo, nothing but a graceful winner can be expected to emerge. Like true
warriors of sport parading behind the splendid banner of Coubertin, they'll
shower each other with praises ;)

My favorite Mourinho quote of 2010 (paraphrasing):

"For my players, they have never been there (UCL final), so it is
dream. For me, I have been there, it is not dream."
