00:05To win the Champions League is to be immortal.
00:13The winners are legends. You are always going to be a legend.
00:19When I go to a European competition, I always feel that I can win.
00:23The former Barcelona interpreter has returned to the Nou Camp.
00:28If you don't enjoy the pressure, you are in trouble.
00:32You need to have the best out of everybody.
00:38You have always to control your destiny.
00:44Why am I now here speaking with you?
00:47Inter Milan will be Champions of Europe.
00:51It's because I am a double Champions League winner.
00:57It's something that stays forever.
01:09The Champions League is the biggest trophy in European club football.
01:15And I have to say it's the biggest trophy in the world.
01:20Because you play against the best.
01:23And the minimum detail is going to dictate many things.
01:37We had a very good relationship.
01:40We were...
01:41We were friends for a lot of time.
01:47When you arrive in Porto, you know that this club has achieved European success.
01:53Although you know that at some stage, you might not be able to compete against other teams.
01:58With higher budgets and better players, that's the way it is.
02:01When Mourinho joined Porto, he completely transformed the football club.
02:06He pushed to get the new training facilities.
02:10It was more structured to the club, the discipline levels.
02:14Like, players couldn't just come and go as they pleased.
02:18We made a decision of, let's go for the best Portuguese young players.
02:25And having a base of three or four more experienced players.
02:30We did that to win the Portuguese title.
02:34But we found ourselves winning UEFA Cup.
02:39And Celtic have been beaten.
02:42Portal have won the UEFA Cup.
02:51So the next season, we start the season playing against the Champions League winner in the Super Cup.
02:58And we felt, this is our level.
03:06Team to play at home, FC Porto.
03:08My first meeting with Jose Mourinho, our first press conference, he told the media that this team was going to
03:15win the Champions League.
03:17And obviously for me, sitting there, I was like, wow, this guy oozes confidence.
03:24Just getting through the group is an achievement.
03:26They end up finishing second behind Real Madrid.
03:28But that means that they're playing a group winner in the last 16.
03:32Portal is playing.
03:33We watch the draw together and Jose says, give us Man United.
03:40Manchester United.
03:41And Jose jumps up and all the players like, oh my God, no way.
03:47Like, this is our exit.
03:51Sir Alex Ferguson was this huge overarching figure and his pursuit of that Champions League had become such a big
03:57narrative.
03:59They have a top team.
04:01They are a team made to win it.
04:03But when I go to the European competition, I always feel that I can win.
04:10In the preparation for the game, Jose says, Pedro Mendes, your job, you don't play this game.
04:17Where Paul's goals go, you go.
04:21If Paul's goals goes to the toilet, you go to the toilet with him.
04:25That's how we beat them.
04:27So then we say, good luck, Pedro.
04:31It doesn't matter if there are teams with, let's say, the odds at their favour or with the most incredible
04:39players on their side.
04:46If you build a strong team with the great resilience, you always have a chance.
04:59The game of my life.
05:07I love the knockout. I love to prepare the knockout.
05:11I love to play one match of 180 minutes and not two matches of 90 minutes.
05:18Every second matters.
05:24You know it's difficult for the Portuguese team to win this trophy.
05:29Of course, it's exciting to play against Man United, but the players start to get more nervous.
05:36It's difficult at Old Trafford to have a face-to-face fight with such a strong team.
05:43It's a bit difficult game for both sides, but you would have to think we'll improve dramatically.
05:49I think most people at United thought that at Old Trafford they'd have enough.
05:55I predict with the team that a very difficult moment in the match is going to happen.
06:04Shea pulls it back, onto his right foot, crosses the skull, the skull!
06:09Now the atmosphere has transformed an old Trafford.
06:12Sometimes you have to control your emotions because your moment is going to arrive.
06:2020 minutes of the second half I was looking and I was looking and people were scared.
06:26People were nervous. People, they felt we are in the edge.
06:30Emmanuel, wax it upfield. That was a push in the back.
06:34And here's a free kick for Porto, in a very dangerous position.
06:37Last minute free kick.
06:39One goal, we'll get in two.
06:42I felt, now is the moment for us.
06:46JJ says, you take it.
06:48Karthi comes forward.
06:53And I went for it.
07:03Everyone went to the corner.
07:05And we just see, Jose is also there.
07:08It looks as if Porto are going to beat Manchester United.
07:12What was he doing there to begin with?
07:15Is that the final whistle? He looks at his watch, the Russian referee.
07:19He still hasn't blown.
07:20One long cross into the middle of the air.
07:23Van Nistelrooy's there. It's cleared.
07:24Hooked away. And that is full time.
07:27And the Portuguese champions, Porto, have knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League.
07:38That really is the game.
07:39It's certainly an English audience that puts Mourinho on the map.
07:43Mourinho just changed what playing at Old Trafford means.
07:49It was a goal that makes our miracle happen.
07:58The team was tactically very, very good.
08:01It was a team with individual talent, yes, but tactically was very, very good.
08:07And I always looked at each one of them as one individual.
08:13Mourinho knew how to push all the right buttons.
08:17And that is the desire to kind of understand who his players are as people.
08:23He knew almost everything about every single player in the team.
08:27Their backgrounds, where they come from, your mum and dad still alive.
08:31The way they looked at it was, we are a family.
08:35That individual way of communicating, of motivation, is always something very, very important.
08:45The club bonded with the team, bonded with their manager.
08:48I was like, wow, this guy, he cares about me.
08:55When you show an interest in someone's life, you're able to get the best out of that person to get
09:00them to do whatever it is that you want them to do.
09:03You then, willing to run through a brick wall for him, then he gets what he wants as well.
09:10When you see his team playing, you saw them also playing for their life.
09:16What he demanded from us was absolute professionalism.
09:19We had an extraordinary generation of players, people like Javito Baia, Ricardo Carvalho, Deco, Paolo Ferreira, Danny McCarthy, Manish.
09:30Manish, when we faced Lyon, on fire.
09:36We went through Lyon the way that we did playing good football.
09:40We weren't household names.
09:43People were about to know who we were.
09:51You know, Porto, zero pressure.
09:56We won the UEFA Cup the year before.
09:59We go to Champions League to try to prove ourselves.
10:01We had Real Madrid in the group phase, we played them, we had a feeling.
10:05Then we beat Man United, then we have even a bigger feeling.
10:09So the big challenge was to improve the team all the time.
10:12But zero pressure. We started feeling pressure when we got a semi-final where we played Deportivo La Coruña in
10:21Spain.
10:24We felt we were a much, much better and stronger team, but they do play in La Liga.
10:31And La Liga is three times probably tougher than the Portuguese League.
10:36We're not one of the big sides in Spain now, but a very good side back then.
10:44Champions League winners are always teams.
10:49Only teams do it.
10:51And very complete teams.
10:53Teams that can cope with all the difficult moments of the competition.
10:59Porto have been awarded a penalty here.
11:03What a moment here in the semi-final of the Champions League.
11:07And I think in every Champions League winner, there is always a moment where a detail is going to make
11:14a difference.
11:16It's Durley! For Porto and he scored! Right-footed! Down to the left-hand side!
11:28True to the Champions League final.
11:31Everyone was feeling that it could be possible.
11:35The Champions League final.
11:36The Champions League final.
11:37The Champions League final.
11:45In Portugal, we were champions.
11:48And we were champions in advance.
11:50So I could play the last two, three matches instead of being fighting for the title and taking the players
11:57to their limits.
11:59We had time to prepare our players, not just by the tactical viewpoint.
12:04We were also preparing them by the individual situation.
12:10We had all of our opposition scouted on their last five games.
12:15And we used to compile a lot of reports and DVDs.
12:21Individual DVDs per position as well for the players.
12:24I was just analyzing Monaco at every possible detail.
12:29So, for example, they had a left winger, Jeremy Rotin, a very quick player, left-footed player, left-typical winger.
12:37My right-back, Paulo Ferreira, he was two or three weeks having injections of Rotin.
12:43What he does, the way he plays, let's see everything, let's see every detail.
12:47Match analysis, 20 years after, is something that has become even more extensive.
12:53In 2004, we suddenly were pioneers in the way that we used the match preparation.
13:09When you look at the book and you see the 32 teams who were in the beginning, nobody in this
13:16room would say in the beginning of the competition that the final will be Porto and Monaco.
13:24We knew that they had a fantastic team, they beat Real Madrid, they beat Chelsea, so they reached the final
13:30probably even with the most difficult run that we get.
13:34But we felt very, very confident.
13:40It's the most important match of my career.
13:44We worked for two years to arrive into this situation and we must play with everything we have.
13:55Football qualities, human qualities, we have to stick together and go for it.
14:02How you can say a year ago that we're going to win the Champions League and we are in the
14:08final?
14:12This guy has to go down as one serious wizard.
14:19In South Africa, we have this thing, we call them Shangoma.
14:23You've got some serious magic there.
14:27To win the Champions League, it is required to have everything at an elite level.
14:32A performance level that you are able to make the difference with.
14:36Palo Ferreira.
14:38Close as well into the penalty here.
14:39Almost hooked it by Dallas Alvarez!
14:41What a goal!
14:42My Porto team, with an advantage, was anomaly.
14:48Into the penalty here.
14:49Did that go?
14:50Match in the pocket.
14:51Right for a jump.
14:52Brilliant!
14:53Brilliant chip into the goal!
14:57They feel ramped.
14:59And into the box, it goes a landing chip!
15:01And he lashes it into the rim for the net!
15:04And it's certain now.
15:063-0 to Porto.
15:10Ah, this is a Shangoma for sure.
15:14And Porto, UEFA Cup winners last season against Celtic.
15:18Our Champions League winners here in Gelsenkirchen.
15:23That was a game controlled by the Mourinho game plan.
15:27Stop the opposition, get ahead, and then pick them off when they overcommit.
15:31We had no business doing what we did, winning the Champions League in the way that we did.
15:37Winning the Champions League with Porto was the biggest moment in my career.
15:44To take a side from outside the big four leagues and win UEFA Cup Champions League back-to-back seasons,
15:50that was an astonishing achievement.
15:55And then things just changed.
15:58The trophy of Europe is raised to the sky!
16:03To win the trophy was amazing.
16:06But something was wrong with Jose.
16:10He didn't seem himself.
16:12I think everybody knew before that final that there'd been contact between Chelsea and Mourinho.
16:20The fact that he won two European competitions two years in a row, I think were important factors for him
16:25to be considered the next big thing.
16:28It kind of left a bitter taste because something that he wanted so bad, we couldn't even celebrate with him
16:37because he then was gone.
16:51Welcome!
16:54Hello Jose, welcome to England.
16:56We went there for another adventure.
16:59Why Chelsea, of all the places you could have gone?
17:03Why Chelsea?
17:04We have top players.
17:07And I'm sorry, I'm a bit arrogant. We have a top manager.
17:11I think everyone had an immediate visceral reaction to that first interview that Jose Mourinho gave.
17:17We should not be afraid to say we want to win.
17:20Who's this guy? He's so arrogant. He comes across very entitled.
17:24What I'm saying is true.
17:26I'm European champion, so I'm not one of the bottle.
17:31What Porto did winning the Champions League, it was an extraordinary achievement.
17:35But still, it wasn't the British way, I suppose.
17:39I think I'm a special one.
17:41To show up and declare yourself as immediately special before you'd won something over here.
17:46Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose Jose, Jose.
17:53We killed ourselves with laughter because we know what it's like.
17:58That was the Jose that we knew.
18:02Every reporter wanted to get a sound bite like that.
18:06Actually, what he said isn't quite the special one.
18:10He said, I am not one from a bottle, I am a special one.
18:12But what he was saying was, look, I'm not an idiot.
18:15Like, look at what I've just done in Borto.
18:16OK, done.
18:20He changed how we think about football.
18:23The game starts in the press conference,
18:26not at kickoff, at 3pm on a Saturday.
18:29He has 11 top players to play.
18:31He was an extraordinarily charming figure.
18:33He worked the press constantly.
18:35You sensed the power of him.
18:37You wanted to be liked by him.
18:39What can I say?
18:40I arrive here with my ego.
18:42Mourinho did a half-gag in a press conference
18:44and everybody's rolling about on the floor.
18:47Now he's even higher.
18:49Whether we believed it or not in the media,
18:51the fans bought it and the players bought it
18:53and that's really all that mattered.
18:58To win the Premier League for the first time in 50 years
19:01and to break up Ferguson and Wenger.
19:05And he split those two right in the middle.
19:13Win the start of the first two seasons.
19:15The third season, he basically says,
19:18yeah, the recruitment's been disastrous.
19:21I don't think that's going to go down great with Abramovich.
19:24Mourinho didn't agree with the club,
19:26but nobody there in that moment was expecting for him to leave.
19:31The fans are upset.
19:32Your players were crying yesterday.
19:34And I was crying too.
19:36And I was crying too.
19:37So that's not the point.
19:40But you still had to go?
19:42Yes.
19:51Inter in Italy, I've always come under some level of criticism
19:54because they are one of the biggest clubs in Italy
19:56but perhaps didn't taste as much success as Juventus domestically
20:00or as Milan in Europe.
20:12The last great era of Inter in Europe.
20:16Inter! Inter! Inter!
20:18He took Inter to three European Cup finals, won two of them.
20:23Perlenio Herrera was an outsider.
20:25He wasn't Italian.
20:26He was nicknamed Il Mago,
20:28which you can translate as magician, the sorcerer.
20:33Someone who is more than human.
20:38Italian football in the late 90s, in the early 2000s,
20:41had been the epicentre of Europe.
20:43It had been the place where all the best players wanted to play
20:46and where the biggest money was being spent.
20:51That was gone.
20:53And Inter were looking for someone who would, at that time,
20:56keep them at the top domestically
20:57because Roberto Mancini had won domestically with them.
21:03But they weren't getting anywhere in the European Cup.
21:06They needed a winner.
21:07And it was about no longer spending the money on the best players
21:10but rather spending the money on the best coach
21:12and there was only one special one.
21:17I tried to establish always the European competition has a dream.
21:25You know, the Champions League is the Eldorado.
21:28To win the Champions League is like to be immortal.
21:33If not immortal for the world, at least immortal for that club.
21:37You are always going to be a legend.
21:39The winners are legends.
21:41It's something that stays forever.
22:09In Inter, the pressure was there.
22:23Everything started in my first season
22:26when we were knocked out by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
22:38I had a phenomenal president, Mr. Moratti.
22:42And he was the first person I met after the match.
22:45I walked to the corridor, the narrow corridor at Old Trafford
22:49and Mr. Moratti was there.
22:51He shook my hand and he told,
22:54Mourinho, what do we need to win the Champions League?
23:00And I told him immediately, I need this, this and this.
23:10I need a faster centre-back that allows me to play a higher line.
23:15That was Lucio's centre-back.
23:18I need a creative centre midfielder
23:21because the profile of my centre midfielders are very, very similar.
23:25That was Wesley Schneider.
23:27I'm very happy to be a player of Inter
23:30and to have a coach like Mourinho to prove myself.
23:33And I need one attacking player that, in the crucial moment,
23:37is going to be there for us.
23:38We bought Milito from Genoa.
23:42We sold Ibrahimovic to Barcelona.
23:45And we took Eto in the business.
23:48That must be one of the best swap dealers anyone has ever done.
23:53Because Eto joined having won the treble with Barcelona.
24:03I don't think there's a better transfer window.
24:11Inter has started in the Champions League poorly.
24:16We were still in the group phase.
24:19We lost 1-0 with Dynamo Kiev.
24:22They were really on the brink of going out.
24:25The group phase is something that you have to play
24:29with the mathematics in front of your eyes.
24:32You have always to control your destiny.
24:35It ends the first time.
24:37Mourinho all of us in the squadron.
24:41He says,
24:41Look, in this moment we're out of the Champions.
24:44I want to risk it.
24:46Then I'll remove two or three players.
24:48I'll put everyone in attack.
24:50Because we need to win the game.
24:54It's the dying seconds of the game.
24:57When Wesley Schneider turns that game on his head.
25:02Generates two goals out of nowhere that change into his entire history.
25:09Absolutely pivotal moment in the season.
25:14You know, you need to be lucky.
25:17You need to be lucky because you need a certain profile of players
25:21with a mental stability to cope with the difficult moments.
25:27Tell them exactly what you expect from them.
25:29I give you an example of a very strong-minded guy, Samuel Eto'o.
25:37The week before, the last 16 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
25:41I fought him every day.
25:44Big, big discussion, big level of pressure.
25:47I told him, I'm not going to play you.
25:49You are not in your best level.
25:51You are not going to play.
25:53Please, mister, let me play.
25:55No, there is no.
25:56Please, mister, you are not going to play.
25:57You are not performing.
25:58I don't trust you.
26:00It was one week, one week of an emotional work with him.
26:08Chelsea can't afford this to become a love-in for the opposition manager.
26:12They can't have anything which could possibly sidetrack what this occasion is all about.
26:20Such a strong guy that I knew that he would react.
26:24The way he did react.
26:28The way he did react.
26:30Schneider, on it goes.
26:32Eku brings it down to the control.
26:33Eku!
26:36Slams it to Milan.
26:38Into the last eight of the Champions League.
26:45It made us believe and convinced that this team could win.
26:49Cancel Estania.
26:53Celtic!
27:01I wouldn't do that with a player of a completely different profile.
27:05So, there is no secret, it's just to look at each one of them, to know them, to understand them
27:11and to deal with them as a complete individual.
27:14individual. With Mourinho this team really did bond. They had this Argentine
27:22core of Samuel, Javier Zanetti, Milito, Cambiasso and they would have these barbecues.
27:33Walter Samuel would be the kind of grill master.
27:44It was a moment of union. It was a moment of a great family.
27:52We were really a team. We had everything. Personalities, experience, physicality, empathy, friendship.
28:02Milito with a shooting just scores! More into Milan!
28:07When you allow somebody to be themselves, you allow them to form a bond with you and that's
28:11what his players had.
28:16They felt that they could come to him with their problems. They felt that they could
28:19confide in him.
28:20They have this almost spiritual belief in Mourinho's gifts. It is like talking about a cult leader.
28:27In the words of Wesley Snyder, he would run through the war and go to war for Joseph Mourinho.
28:51I arrived as the principal coach for Sporting Lisbon in 1992. And Jose met me, introduced himself
29:01to me, that he would be my interpreter. Not only in Sporting but later on in Porto.
29:11I am very happy that Jose is here. I do need him for my work. My work is very important
29:17and Jose can help me.
29:21I went from Porto to Barcelona. I took Jose.
29:27So Mourinho works as an interpreter in Barcelona. He was working with great managers, Bobby Robson,
29:36Luis Van Gaal, and obviously working with great players, among whom there was Pep Guardiola.
29:45The Barcelona squad, they nicknamed him the translator. Mourinho sort of felt it was putting him on the outside,
29:52he wasn't one of them. In time that really came to great on him, that he felt he wasn't taken
29:57seriously.
30:03Barcelona come to replace Frank Rijkaard. Rijkaard who'd won the Champions League as Barcelona's coach in 2006.
30:12They wanted either Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola.
30:16You think of a compound of CVs at that point. Mourinho has won a Champions League, he's won UEFA Cup
30:21with Porto,
30:22he's won two league titles with Chelsea. Guardiola's had one season managing Barcelona's reserves.
30:28And still they give it to Guardiola because Guardiola's one of them.
30:32He reflected their values, their identity, more so than Jose Mourinho.
30:38After that rejection, it's almost like that's the moment which he becomes the Dark Lord.
30:43That's the moment in which he decides, I am that which Barcelona is not.
30:47If they're going to play with the ball, I will play without. If they're going to play to entertain,
30:52I will make sure nobody has any fun ever again.
31:04Inter reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and they're playing against Barcelona. Of course it's Barcelona.
31:11Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, they're defending champions.
31:13There was not a feeling that they could go and take the game to a team like Barcelona.
31:17Nobody believed he could win.
31:20So before the semi-final, Eiffelöjökull, the Icelandic volcano,
31:26erupted Kassan and ash cloud over Europe and that means that Barcelona can't fly to Milan for the first leg.
31:32They had to get a bus.
31:34It's a long journey for a whole team to take right before one of the most important games of the
31:37season.
31:38How much that impacts the game itself, that's a thing that we can never fully know the answer to.
31:45When you get to the knockout against a team like Barcelona, you have to win your match at home.
31:51His fury that he didn't get the Barcelona job back then, he motivates so much.
31:58After that, Mourinho told me that he will make the left third and he will mark Messi.
32:06I knew Messi because we were national companions.
32:09He was the best player in the world.
32:14Pedro scored the first goal. They started at a decent pace.
32:18But Inter were magnificent.
32:23They played genuine attacking football.
32:28In every area where Messi was, he was always with me and two other companions
32:32to not find this space where he could make the difference.
32:39B-1-3-1 could be more.
32:43It was a fantastic performance.
32:48In Inter, my bench was full of top players in the end of their career.
32:58Cordoba, Toldo, Materazzi, Stankovic.
33:02They were not my first choices, but they were my big allies.
33:10I still remember Cordoba Awards in the semifinal in Barcelona.
33:17Cordoba was on the bench and he wanted to do a little speech to the players.
33:23And he was saying, this is my dream. This is my last opportunity.
33:30I'm not playing because of him. He decided to put me on the bench.
33:35He decided to play you. So you are going to play for me.
33:41When you have this kind of person on the bench, on the dressing room,
33:45your work becomes much more easier.
33:50I know that they could do anything for me. I would do also anything for them.
33:58It's the game of all games. It's the game that becomes such a core element
34:04in Jose Mourinho's legend.
34:07Barcelona have this deficit to make up.
34:10I remember that when we came to the field,
34:12there was this huge stretch from Barcelona.
34:17Bayern Munich await the winners in the final.
34:20That was, I think, a lot of pressure for them.
34:23They believed that this could be possible.
34:27We went there with a strategy to try to control,
34:32to try to bite in counter-attack.
34:34We had fantastic qualities to play and defend in a lower block,
34:38then to counter-attack after 20 minutes or so.
34:44And that was a blatant arm in the face by Motta.
34:47It's a straight red card for Thiago Motta,
34:50the former Barcelona player.
34:52When Thiago Motta is sent off, Sergio Busquets...
34:55Does a little peek-a-be through his hands
34:56to make sure the referee is doing the right thing.
35:00People sometimes are afraid to speak about it.
35:02I'm never afraid to speak about it.
35:04Which is the referee decisions that are always crucial.
35:10Can they survive?
35:12Ten men having to defend a two-goal lead
35:15against the best attacking team on the planet.
35:17To play with ten players in Barcelona becomes epic.
35:21It's hit hard by Ibrahimovic!
35:23You need heroes.
35:25You need to have the best out of everybody.
35:2945 frustrating minutes from Barcelona's perspective.
35:33Lui era convinto che noi arrivavamo in finale.
35:37I think I was brilliant in the way I organized the team.
35:40His conviction was very strong and transmitted to all of us.
35:44We defended with everything we had.
35:47Clipped into the box, that's the chance, and it's wide!
35:50It was gripping.
35:51It was drama.
35:53We defended with hearts, with souls.
35:56Jabby into Piquet, chance to Barcelona.
35:59Piquet must score! Piquet must score!
36:01It's seven minutes to go!
36:03We give absolutely everything.
36:05Right foot shot beaten away by Cezanne.
36:09The referee blows the full-time whistle into Milan
36:12into the European Cup final for the first time in 38 years.
36:17The best thing about it for Mourinho is that the final whistle
36:20he runs on the pitch to celebrate
36:22and Barcelona turn on the sprinklers.
36:29This is the most beautiful defeat of my career.
36:35The former interpreter of Barcelona
36:37has returned to the Nou Camp
36:39to end Barcelona's dream.
36:42Everything they did was not interested in us.
36:44How beautiful to cry from joy!
36:47Beautiful!
36:48And in that moment,
36:50whatever moral superiority Barcelona tried to claim
36:52about playing football the right way,
36:54that he has destroyed in that moment.
36:59And it's Mourinho who has destroyed it.
37:12The fact that you play with ten men for so long
37:16makes it something absolutely incredible.
37:22If I could choose one of my most emotional performances,
37:26career more than 20 years,
37:28I had to choose...
37:29I had to choose that one.
37:37No one in Italian football had ever won the treble.
37:42We played Italian Cup final.
37:44We played the last match of the season.
37:47To win the title,
37:47we have to win the match to win the title.
37:54The drama of the semi-final against Barcelona.
37:58To win the way we did,
38:01the feeling was...
38:04it's our cup.
38:08But Inter were coming up against a very, very good Bayern Munich side,
38:13coached by Louis van Gaal,
38:15someone who taught him so much about the game.
38:17Jose was his assistant coach in Barcelona,
38:20and there was a special relationship
38:21and a lot of respect between the two coaches.
38:24I don't think that gets emphasized enough
38:26because people take literally the words of the fact
38:29that van Gaal had called him a defensive coach.
38:34It's the most important game of football in the planet.
38:38More important than the World Cup final.
38:41We are witnessing here a wonderful scene
38:43inside the Bernabeu Stadium,
38:46the home of Real Madrid,
38:47of the 2010 Champions League final.
38:56Van Gaal said those words
38:57in hopes of provoking a reaction of Mourinho.
39:01But, of course, Mourinho wasn't going to fall for that.
39:06Diego Melito really was a kind of hidden gem.
39:12And would be the man in the decisive moments.
39:15Here's Schneider.
39:16On to Melito, under the penalty.
39:18This could be 1-0!
39:19It is 1-0!
39:21Melito is smashing the ball!
39:23High under the roof of the net!
39:25Bluntly, you could call it Route 1,
39:27but it's not an act of chance.
39:32It's all part of the plan.
39:38Melito was the one Mourinho said,
39:39you're going to be the one who leads the line for us.
39:42Knowing the right words to say to a player,
39:44to get under their skin and tell them who they're going to be.
39:46And he told Melito that you're going to be the guy.
39:49Up to the edge of the penalty!
39:51Into the penalty!
39:52Great run!
39:52Great goal!
39:53Finish!
39:54Finish!
39:55Provide Munich!
39:56Inter Milan will be Champions of Europe!
39:59You score the goal that won them in the league.
40:03The goal that won them in the Coppa Italia.
40:07The goals that won them in the Champions League.
40:09And Inter Milan cannot believe it!
40:12This obsession that they've had for 45 years!
40:15Maybe it should have been a dream!
40:17Tonight, the dream has been realized!
40:19It's been an incredible emotion for me.
40:27To be the captain of the squadron,
40:30to have the privilege and honor to raise that trophy
40:33will be one of the most beautiful moments
40:35that I will always remember.
41:00I didn't sign with Real Madrid before the final.
41:03I refused to.
41:04I wanted to play the final
41:06without any contract signed with Real Madrid.
41:10I went to the dressing room
41:14and I ran away.
41:17I went to the buzz to say goodbye
41:20and I didn't even shake one hand.
41:23I wanted to escape because I know
41:26if I get into the dressing room,
41:29if I get into the buzz,
41:31if I go back with them to Milan,
41:33if I walk into the San Siro full,
41:36if I walk into the Duomo full of people,
41:39I think I wouldn't go to Real Madrid.
41:42I think the emotion would stop me to go.
41:51But I wanted so much to go.
41:55But I had to escape.
41:59And Marco got me there.
42:03As the car is pulling out,
42:04he sees Marco Materazzi.
42:15He's even more perfect because he's Italian.
42:17The end of an Italian journey.
42:19When you see this image
42:20that Marco is hugging him crying,
42:22what is the demonstration
42:24of what I know
42:26has meant for us in these two years?
42:32I have replicas of the cups,
42:36and of course I have the original medals.
42:38But I'm honest with you,
42:40I don't care about the cups,
42:42and I don't care about the medals.
42:44I care of what I have here.
42:46And I care what people from those clubs,
42:51they have here and there.
42:53His passion, his love, his respect.
42:59What he did with Porto and with Inter.
43:02Taking Porto to the most improbable Champions League win.
43:06A thing that has not been matched in the modern era,
43:09a team from outside the big leagues.
43:11He marked a generational change of European coaches
43:15by his methods that were a breakthrough at that time.
43:20Our report was not a report
43:23of a coach, a coach, a coach, a coach.
43:28He went beyond.
43:32Wow, what a manager.
43:35Not only one of the great managers of the era,
43:37but one of the great managers of all time.
43:42It's history, you know.
43:44Why am I now here speaking with you?
43:47It's because I am a double Champions League winner.
43:50It's the reason.
43:51So you go to Porto and you go to Milan,
43:54and everybody knows.
43:552004, Champions League winner.
43:582010, Champions League winner.
44:00Who was the coach? Mourinho.
44:01could you go to the pool or yeah.
44:02No.
44:15Take Care every single team.
44:15Any fun, dude?
44:15No.
44:17No, no.
44:19I'm not.
44:20No, no, no.
44:29No, no.
44:30No, no.
44:30No, no, no.
