Pep and Mourinho press conferences before the cdr game

[barcelonista]

To me it looks like Mourinho knows he's not going to win this.

Copa Del Rey is the third most important goal

We are not playing in the Champions League or the league, but in Copa

Whoever loses two games will have two games less in February with the league and Champions League, and will have a calendar advantage

If Ramos plays as RB, they will criticise me because he is better in the center. If Coentrao plays on the right they'll criticise, because he is left footed. If Lass plays they'll say that in Khedira's absence he is needed in the center of midfield. If Pepe plays as a CB they'll say he needs to play in midfield and if he plays in midfield they'll say he is better as a defender. Same thing if Benzema plays instead of Higuain who scored against Mallorca. If I'll play 3 midfielders they'll criticise because I should attack. If I'll play offensive they'll say I should put more people in the midfield.

It's better to go to the cinema tomorrow night and look up the score later on and discuss.

Very telling. He's basically making excuses beforehand by underlining that CdR isn't that important and the loser will have an advantage. He's admitting that he won't be able to present a flawless lineup and will end up being criticised at the end. And he says he'd rather not watch the game.

I'm not worried anymorenow. got this. Whenever Mourinho came to the press with such insecure lines, he ended up losing.

Pep should have a weekly talk show where he can sermonize to the masses

they say, they criticise, they, them,.... All that's in his head is how the media will picture him. if you really played for your club you'd do what you think is right for your team and ignore what others have to say unless they are constructive, because you've given your all,you don't care how they're going to react to every detail because you know you've tried so hard to get the best for the team, it's not about personal glory and praise it's about team success.

the fact that he contradicts himself like this and actually admits to stuff like that points to his lack of confidence and poor mentality ,despite what he tries to show, and how he transmits it to a star studded squad. very poor for him and all his past trophies.

Bravery is Pep's style. he's not a coward. even when he loses, he loses with dignity. He knows it's part of this beautiful ride with Barca and that he has given his all for the club he loves and represents.

so much for taking the pressure off his players eh? now he is being affected by the pressure so much that it has directly affected his player's mentality as well as his.
