Jose Mourinho

Say what you want about him but the Special One is a tittle that is definitely fitting to this man. José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix started off as a young translator to Sir Bobby Robson where he learnt the game. He is such a smart man to take the path that he did.. What he did was become the ‘proxy manager’ where the actual manager didn’t speak the language.

He went on to win trophies from all the clubs that he managed and all almost immediately! Teams talk about players settling into the new style but how is it that some churn out instant results?

Sepang F1 – 2 Late

Ferrari are back to winning ways with Alonso went in front after the red flag and held on to his position right till the chequered flag. It was a pretty dull race for me with the rain becoming a spoiler, the second time in the last few years. The last time the rain hit the race was in 2010 when the race was totally washed off.

This time around the race had to stop after about 8 laps for about nearly an hour before going on right till the end completing the entire race.

Hope that the organizers move the race back to the original 2pm time slot which will give the race more hope of survival if the rain decides to hit. I understand that the slot was moved to accommodate the European audience but then again, i think that if the European’s want to watch the race, they will get up a couple of hours earlier like the rest of the world does to when they need to watch a sporting event at a different time zone.

Passion

After our dismal exit out of the Thomas Cup performance which left me pretty sad, i was thinking of what went wrong and why are our sportsmen. Why do we struggle so much against our opponents. Then i watched the video of the last time we won the Thomas Cup and the most evident difference.

We have lost Passion! The drive to win and to perform well at the higest stage. New breed driven by other factors nowdays? Money maybe?

I Miss Passion! :S
