Mourinho: Man City Knows Everything In Football
By Joshua Walters
Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has described Manchester City as a bunch of intelligent persons, who pays attention to little details.
The Portuguese trainer, who recently was managing City's crosstown rivals, admits that City play good football, but depend on other influences to win games against their title contenders.
Manchester City won the EFL Cup on Sunday after beating Chelsea 4-3 on penalties and Mourinho, who was sacked by Manchester United in December, congratulated the team, and revealed what, according to him has been the weapon of the side.
"City are a team that knows everything.”
"And when I say it knows everything, they know how to exploit all the little things in games that only experienced teams with smart people, with many kilometers in their legs at this very high level, know how to control.
"Trying to get a yellow here or a yellow here in groups of players, three or four, around the referees trying to influence a decision.
"It is a team that plays football as well as it does, [but] this management of small details ends up being important."
