MESSI IS FOR BARCELONA, AND BARCELONA IS FOR MESSI, POETIC MOURINHO SCHMOOZES

According to Dailymail, Mourinho was quizzed and asked if he wanted Lionel Messi. And he said, although he admires the 29-year old, he thinks he should remain a one-club man. Mourinho said he thinks Messi is for Barcelona and Barcelona is for Messi and he would really love Messi to stay in Barcelona till the end of his football career.

Reports say Manchester City is really keen on buying the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner. And should he decide to leave, a £500,000 per week deal awaits him at the Etihad if he is willing.

But it really sounds weird for Mourinho to speak in this manner. If you want to see it from a different angle, Mourinho may want Messi to stay at Barcelona as he wishes to coach Barcelona someday.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
