The Czech international confirmed that what the public thinks about Mourinho”s attitude is false, especially with the way he talks during press conferences. According to Cech, everything the Portuguese do or say is planned ahead because that is what the public wants to hear.
“People have this perception of Jose obviously from TV, and because of his press conferences. I hope he doesn’t mind me saying, he would sometimes come to our meeting and say, ‘Guys, this is what I want. This is what I really think.
This is what we really do, but I’m going to go to the press conference and say this and that so don’t be surprised. It’s just a thing I want them to hear. I want them to have that kind of feeling about [us] because I want them to do this. So sometimes what he did was really planned to take pressure off the team, to play mind games with the opponent. He was always a step ahead with this.”
