cristiano-vs-ibrahimovicInter Milan will not face Manchester United until the end of coming February, but coach Jose Mourinho has already declared that his forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo may have been crowned winner of England, Europe and the world as well as picking up the Ballon d’Or this year but Ex Chelsea and present Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho still doesn’t think he’s the best.

Ex Chelsea coach insists his forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a better player than Manchester United leading light Cristiano Ronaldo. Mourinho directly told BBC Sport that,

Ronaldo is a good player but he is certainly not the best. He also added that, He deserved the Golden Ball award because his team won the Champions League and the Premier League. But, for me, Ibrahimovic is the best.

With the coach at the present in charge of Inter Milan of Italy – Manchester’s opponents in the last 16 of the Champions League next spring – Mourinho has started the mind games. Mourinho’s comments are sure to fan the flames ahead of Inter’s clash with Manchester United. For attacking the Ronaldo, Mourinho said there were more than a few players better than the Manchester United winger.

When I think of how a player should be, I think of (AC Milan’s) Kaka, Ibrahimovic and (Barcelona’s Lionel) Messi, Messi is a phenomenon, but in my opinion, Ibrahimovic is the best.  Mourinho told Italy’s Raidue radio.

Yet Ronaldo doesn’t give any comment against Mourinho’s. Ronaldo will get the opportunity to show his skills when Manchester United and Inter will meet in the Champions League second round.

Inter’s boss not only appreciated his present striker Ibrahimovic but also pleased about his formal club striker Drogba.

“Drogba is more than a player for me; he’s a part of me, an extension of the coach on the pitch.”

liverpoolRafael BenÍtez the manager of Liverpool said that Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Chelsea had sent a “massive message” to their Barclays Premier League competitors that the Merseyside soccer club is capable to win the title. Liverpool’s show Sunday in their historic 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea told again everybody of the classic Liverpool side from the late seventies and early eighties. The Liverpool manager believes that six weeks after his side came from behind to beat Manchester United; shows that his team has the class and quality to end the club’s 19-year wait for the challenge. BentItez is so much happy on the performance of his players. He said,

To come here with that mentality and showing the character the players showed gives us a big boost for the rest of the season. We have belief, we have quality and we showed coming from behind in the other games that we had character. This is enough to make us contenders; this is enough to put us at the top of the table now.

A 10th minute goal from Xabi Alonso was enough to stop Chelsea’s 86 match league run without defeat at Stamford Bridge and send the visiting team three points obvious at the top of the table as the only unbeaten side in the top flight. The link up play among Xabi Alonso, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt and later Ryan Babel was unbelievable up front, showing off a ton of creativity; if they continue their same display then it will be the best chance to achieve their goal.

At the present, after beating Man United and Chelsea, they have to remain that level of consistency going for the rest of the season. If they can, we may have a real fight between four teams at the top of the table instead of just two. Cause within past few seasons it seems to all that the fight is bounded only ManU and Chelsea.
