“The Special One” struck again. Jose Mourinho played his 1,000 match as head coach. A late gold gate broke all the dams.
Jose Mourinho won the Champions League with two different clubs, was champion in four countries and captured a total of 25 titles. Nevertheless, he can still look forward to a narrow league win. He proved that on Sunday when AS Roma played against Sassuolo.
It wasn't a normal match for “The Special One”. Mourinho stood on the sidelines for exactly 1,000 times in his professional career as head coach. And for this very reason he really wanted to get a “threesome”.
However, it was 1: 1 for a long time. It was only in the 91st minute that Stephan El Shaarawy released his coach and made it 2-1 for the capital city. All dams broke at Mourinho. He sprinted to his players, hugging them like after a world title.
“Today I was not 58, but 12. It was a kid's race, an extraordinary game, an incredible feeling. It could have ended 6-6 or 7-7, they could have won, but in the end we won,” said Mourinho opposite “Sky Italia”. “During the week I lied when I told everyone it wasn't a special game. That was a special number for me. Now I remember it was my game number 1,000. I didn't want to lose, I was terrified to have that memory. “
