Mourinho: “Capello and Del Bosque are more intelligent than Lippi”

Jose Mourinho has again blasted Marcello Lippi for “favouring Juventus” and says “Fabio Capello and Vicente Del Bosque are too intelligent to do that.” The Inter Coach was furious when Italy boss Lippi predicted Juve would win the Scudetto this season. Lippi replied and said it was “only an opinion,” but that was not enough to calm the Special One’s rage.

“Lippi passed judgment on television the other night,” slammed Mourinho. “Capello would never have done the same in England. Nor would Del Bosque in Spain.“No, they are far too intelligent to do that. I do not want to waste more time replying to the Italy Coach. I work every day for my club, on the field and in the locker room, with my team. I do not spend my time waiting around for a match to come around every now and then.”

The Italy boss mused that the only thing Mourinho has more than Ciro Ferrara and Leonardo is experience. “I have never talked about Ferrara and Leonardo, I have nothing against them,” snapped the Portuguese tactician. “I do not understand why Lippi has to talk about me by making comparisons. I do not understand.”
