00:00To win the Champions League is to be immortal.
00:13The winners are legends. You are always going to be a legend.
00:19When I go to a European competition, I always feel that I can win.
00:23The former Barcelona interpreter has returned to the Nou Camp.
00:28If you don't enjoy the pressure, you are in trouble.
00:32You need to have the best out of everybody.
00:36Etui brings it down under control. Etui!
00:39You have always to control your destiny.
00:42Porto, our Champions League winners.
00:45Why am I now here speaking with you?
00:48Inter Milan, women champions of Europe.
00:51It's because I am a double Champions League winner.
00:58It's something that stays forever.
01:09The Champions League is the biggest trophy in European club football.
01:15And I have to say it's the biggest trophy in the world.
01:20Because you play against the best.
01:23And the minimum detail is going to dictate many things.
01:28We had a very good relationship.
01:40We were friends for a lot of time.
01:44When you arrive in Porto, you know that this club has achieved European success.
01:53Although you know that at some stage, you might not be able to compete against other teams.
01:58With higher budgets and better players, that's the way it is.
02:00When Mourinho joined Porto, he completely transformed the football club.
02:07He pushed to get the new training facilities.
02:10It was more structured to the club.
02:13The discipline levels, like players couldn't just come and go as they pleased.
02:17We made the decision of let's go for the best Portuguese young players and having a base of three or four more experienced players.
02:30We did that to win the Portuguese title.
02:34But we found ourselves winning UEFA Cup.
02:39And Celtic have been beaten.
02:42Porto have won the UEFA Cup.
02:44So the next season, we start the season playing against the Champions League winner in the Super Cup.
02:58And we felt, this is our level.
03:06Team to play at home, FC Porto.
03:08My first meeting with Jose Mourinho, our first press conference, he told the media that this team was going to win the Champions League.
03:17And obviously for me, sitting there, I was like, wow, this guy oozes confidence.
03:24Just getting through the group is an achievement.
03:27They end up finishing second behind Real Madrid.
03:29But that means that they're playing the group winners in the last 16.
03:31Portal play.
03:33We watch the draw together and Jose says, give us Man United.
03:39Manchester United.
03:42And Jose jumps up and all the players like, oh my God, no way.
03:48Like, this is our exit.
03:52Sir Alex Ferguson was this huge overarching figure and his pursuit of that Champions League had become such a big narrative.
03:59They have a top team.
04:02They are a team made to win it.
04:04But when I go to the European competition, I always feel that I can win.
04:09In the preparation for the game, Jose says, Pedro Mendes, your job, you don't play this game.
04:18Where Paul's goals go, you go.
04:20If Paul's goals goes to the toilet, you go to the toilet with him.
04:26That's how we beat them.
04:28So then we say, good luck, Pedro.
04:32It doesn't matter if there are teams with, let's say, the odds at their favour or with the most incredible players on their side.
04:40If you build a strong team with the great resilience, you always have a chance.
04:52The game of my life.
05:08I love the knockout. I love to prepare the knockout.
05:11I love to play one match of 180 minutes and not two matches of 90 minutes.
05:18Every second matters.
05:25You know it's difficult for the Portuguese team to win this trophy.
05:28Of course, it's exciting to play against Man United, but the players start to get more nervous.
05:34It's difficult at Old Trafford to have a face-to-face fight with such a strong team.
05:43A bit difficult game for both sides, but you would have to think we will improve dramatically.
05:50I think most people at United thought that at Old Trafford they'd have enough.
05:56I predict with the team that a very difficult moment in the match is going to happen.
06:04Shea pulls it back, onto his right foot, crosses the skull!
06:10Now the atmosphere has transformed an Old Trafford.
06:13Sometimes you have to control your emotions because your moment is going to arrive.
06:2020 minutes of the second half I was looking and I was looking and people were scared.
06:26People were nervous. People, they felt we are in the edge.
06:30Emmanuel, wax it upfield. That was a push in the back and here's a free kick for Gordo in a very dangerous position.
06:38Last minute free kick.
06:39One goal, we'll get in between.
06:42I felt now is the moment for us.
06:46Jose says, you take it.
06:49McCarthy comes forward.
06:53And I went for it.
06:54And he slipped over the wall, save! And it's a goal! It's a goal for Porto! In the final minute, Costinja has scored!
07:03Everyone went to the corner.
07:06And we just see, Jose is also there.
07:08It looks as if Porto are going to beat Manchester United!
07:13What was he doing there to begin with?
07:16Is that the final whistle? He looks at his watch, the Russian referee.
07:19He still hasn't blown.
07:21One long cross into the middle here.
07:23Van Nistelrooy's there! It's clear!
07:25Hucked away!
07:26And that is full-time!
07:27And the Portuguese champions, Porto, have knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League.
07:38That really is the game that is certainly an English audience that puts Mourinho on the map.
07:44Mourinho just changed what playing at Old Trafford means.
07:50It was a goal that makes our miracle happen.
07:56The team was tactically very, very good.
08:02It was a team with individual talent, yes, but tactically was very, very good.
08:08And I always looked at each one of them as one individual.
08:14Mourinho knew how to push all the right buttons.
08:18And that is the desire to kind of understand who his players are as people.
08:22He knew almost everything about every single player in the team.
08:27The backgrounds, where they come from, your mum and dad still alive.
08:32The way they looked at it was, we are a family.
08:34That individual way of communicating, of motivation is always something very, very important.
08:45The club bonded with the team, bonded with their manager.
08:48I was like, wow, this guy, he cares about me.
08:55When you show an interest in someone's life, you're able to get the best out of that person,
09:00to get them to do whatever it is that you want them to do.
09:04You then, willing to run through a brick wall for him, then he gets what he wants as well.
09:09When you see his team playing, you saw them also playing for their life.
09:16What he demanded from us was absolute professionalism.
09:20We had an extraordinary generation of players.
09:22People like Avita Baia, Ricardo Cabalho, Deco, Paulo Ferreira, Danny McCarthy, Manish.
09:30Manish, when we faced Leon, on fire.
09:33We went through Leon the way that we did playing good football.
09:41We weren't household names.
09:44People were about to know who we were.
09:52You know, Porto, zero pressure.
09:56We won the UEFA Cup the year before.
09:59We go to Champions League to try to prove ourselves.
10:01We had Real Madrid in the group phase, we played them, we had a feeling.
10:06Then we beat Man United, then we have even a bigger feeling.
10:09So the big challenge was to improve the team all the time.
10:14But zero pressure.
10:15We start feeling pressure when we got a semi-final where we play Deportivo La Coruña in Spain.
10:22We felt we were a much, much better and stronger team, but they do play in La Liga.
10:32And La Liga is three times probably tougher than Portuguese League.
10:36We're not one of the big sides in Spain now, but a very good side back then.
10:45Champions League winners are always teams.
10:50Only teams do it.
10:51And very complete teams.
10:53Teams that can cope with all the difficult moments of the competition.
10:59Porto have been awarded a penalty here.
11:03What a moment here in the semi-final of the Champions League.
11:06And I think in every Champions League winner, there is always a moment where a detail is going to make a difference.
11:17It's Durley.
11:19For Porto and he scored.
11:21Right footed.
11:22Down to the left hand side.
11:23Down to the left hand side.
11:29Through to the Champions League final.
11:32Everyone was feeling that it could be possible.
11:35In Portugal we were champions.
11:48And we were champions in advance.
11:51So I could play the last two, three matches instead of being fighting for the title and taking the players to their limits.
11:59We had time to prepare our players not just by the tactical viewpoint.
12:04We were also preparing them by the individual situation.
12:10We had all of our opposition scouted on their last five games and we used to compile a lot of reports and DVDs.
12:21Individual DVDs per position as well for the players.
12:25I was just analyzing Monaco at every possible detail.
12:30So, for example, they had a left winger, Jeremy Rotin, a very quick player, left footed player, left typical winger.
12:38My right back, Paulo Ferreira, he was two or three weeks having injections of Rotin.
12:43What he does, the way he plays, let's see everything, let's see every detail.
12:48Match analysis 20 years after is something that has become even more extensive.
12:54In 2004, we suddenly were pioneers in the way that we used the match preparation.
13:00When you look at the book and you see the 32 teams who were in the beginning, nobody in this room would say in the beginning of the competition that the final will be Porto and Monaco.
13:22We knew that they had a fantastic team, they beat Real Madrid, they beat Chelsea, so they reached the final probably even with the most difficult run that we get.
13:34But we felt very confident.
13:41It's the most important match of my career.
13:44We worked for two years to arrive into this situation and we must play with everything we have.
13:51Football qualities, human qualities, we have to stick together and go for it.
14:01How you can say a year ago that we're going to win the Champions League and we are in the final?
14:08This guy has to go down as one serious wizard.
14:19In South Africa, we have this thing we call them Shangoma.
14:24You've got some serious magic there.
14:26To win the Champions League, it is required to have everything at an elite level.
14:33A performance level that you are able to make the difference.
14:36Palo Ferreira.
14:38Closest ball into the penalty here.
14:39Almost hooked in like that.
14:40It's Alvarez!
14:41What a goal!
14:43My Porto team with an advantage was normally...
14:48Into the penalty here.
14:49Did that go?
14:50Match in the pocket.
14:51Right for a jump!
14:52Brilliant!
14:53Brilliant chip into the goal!
14:55They feel rampant.
14:59And into the pocket!
15:00And he lashes it into the rim for the net!
15:04And it's certain now.
15:073-0 to Porto.
15:11Ah, this is a Shangoma for sure.
15:14And Porto, UEFA Cup winners last season against Celtic.
15:19Our Champions League winners here in Gelsenkirchen.
15:22That was a game controlled by the Mourinho game plan.
15:27Stop the opposition, get ahead and then pick them off when they over commit.
15:31We had no business doing what we did, winning the Champions League in the way that we did.
15:37Winning the Champions League with Porto was the biggest moment in my career.
15:42To take a side from outside the big four leagues and win UEFA Cup Champions League back-to-back seasons, that was an astonishing achievement.
15:52And then, things just changed.
15:59The trophy of Europe is raised to the sky!
16:03To win the trophy was amazing.
16:05But something was wrong with Jose.
16:09He didn't seem himself.
16:12I think everybody knew before that final that there had been contact between Chelsea and Mourinho.
16:18The fact that he won two European competitions two years in a row, I think were important factors for him to be considered the next big thing.
16:27It kind of left a bitter taste because something that he wanted so bad, we couldn't even celebrate with him because he then was gone.
16:39Come on!
16:54Hello Jose, welcome to England.
16:57We went there for another adventure.
16:59Why Chelsea, of all the places you could have gone?
17:03Why Chelsea?
17:04We have top players.
17:07And I'm sorry, I'm a bit arrogant. We have a top manager.
17:11I think everyone had an immediate visceral reaction to that first interview that Jose Mourinho gave.
17:17We should not be afraid to say we want to win.
17:21Who's this guy? He's so arrogant. He comes across very entitled.
17:25What I'm saying is true. I'm European champion, so I'm not one of the bottle.
17:32What Porto did winning the Champions League, it was an extraordinary achievement.
17:35But still, it wasn't the British way, I suppose.
17:40I think I'm a special one.
17:42To show up and declare yourself as immediately special before you'd won something over here.
17:47Jose! Jose! Jose! Jose! Jose!
17:51We killed ourselves with laughter. Because we know what it's like. That was the Jose that we knew.
18:01Five shots for one foot.
18:04Every reporter wanted to get a sound bite like that.
18:06Actually, what he said isn't quite the special one.
18:09He said, I am not one from a bottle, I am a special one.
18:12What he was saying was, look, I'm not an idiot.
18:14Like, look at what I've just done in Porto.
18:16OK, done.
18:20He changed how we think about football.
18:23The game starts in the press conference, not at kick-off,
18:27at 3pm on a Saturday.
18:29He has 11 top players to play.
18:31He was an extraordinarily charming figure.
18:33He worked the press constantly.
18:35You sensed the power of him.
18:37You wanted to be liked by him.
18:39What can I say?
18:40I arrive here with my ego.
18:42Mourinho did a half-gag in a press conference
18:44and everybody's rolling about on the floor.
18:47Now he's even higher.
18:49Whether we believed it or not in the media,
18:51the fans bought it and the players bought it
18:53and that's really all that mattered.
18:58To win the Premier League for the first time in 50 years
19:01and to break up Ferguson and Wenger.
19:05And he split those two right in the middle.
19:14Wins start the first two seasons.
19:15The third season, he basically says,
19:18yeah, the recruitment's been disastrous.
19:20I don't think that's going to go down great with Abramovich.
19:23Mourinho didn't agree with the club,
19:26but nobody there in that moment was expecting for him to leave.
19:31The fans are upset.
19:32Your players were crying yesterday.
19:34And I was crying too.
19:35And I was crying too.
19:37So that's not the point.
19:40But you still had to go?
19:41Yes.
19:51Inter in Italy, I've always come under some level of criticism
19:54because they are one of the biggest clubs in Italy
19:56but perhaps didn't taste as much success as Juventus domestically
20:00or as Milan in Europe.
20:02Helenio Herrera, the last great era of Inter in Europe.
20:17He took Inter to three European Cup finals, won two of them.
20:22Helenio Herrera was an outsider.
20:24He wasn't Italian.
20:26He was nicknamed Il Mago,
20:28which you can translate as magician, the sorcerer.
20:33Someone who is more than human.
20:38Italian football in the late 90s, in the early 2000s
20:41had been the epicentre of Europe.
20:43It had been the place where all the best players wanted to play
20:46and where the biggest money was being spent.
20:51That was gone.
20:52And Inter were looking for someone who would at that time
20:56keep them at the top domestically
20:58because Roberto Mancini had won domestically with them.
21:03But they weren't getting anywhere in the European Cup.
21:07They needed a winner.
21:08And it was about no longer spending the money on the best players
21:10but rather spending the money on the best coach
21:12and there was only one special one.
21:14I tried to establish always the European competition has a dream.
21:25You know, the Champions League is the Eldorado.
21:28To win the Champions League is like to be immortal.
21:32If not immortal for the world, at least immortal for that club.
21:37You are always going to be a legend.
21:39The winners are legends.
21:41It's something that stays forever.
21:43Forever.
21:44I remember that I was in Rome.
21:46I was taking a trip to Buenos Aires.
21:49I called myself a Portuguese number.
21:52I said,
21:53Hi, I'm Jose Mourinho.
21:55I just signed a contract with Inter.
21:57I will be your coach.
22:00You will be my captain.
22:02Excuse me for my Italian.
22:06The Italian was perfect.
22:07In Inter, the pressure was there.
22:11Noi venivamo de vincere tutto in Italia.
22:16Però mancava quel passo importante de poter vincere anche in Europa.
22:20Ser i migliori in Europa.
22:24Everything started in my first season
22:26when we were knocked out by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
22:30I had a phenomenal president, Mr. Moratti.
22:42And he was the first person I met after the match.
22:45I walked to the corridor, the narrow corridor at Old Trafford,
22:49and Mr. Moratti was there.
22:51He shook my hand and he told,
22:53Mourinho, what do we need to win the Champions League?
23:00And I told him immediately,
23:03I need this, this and this.
23:11I need a faster centre-back that allows me to play a higher line.
23:16That was Lucio's centre-back.
23:18I need a creative centre-midfielder
23:21because the profile of my centre-midfielders are very, very similar.
23:25That was Wesley Schneider.
23:27Very happy to be a player of Inter
23:30and to have a coach like Mourinho to prove myself.
23:33And I need one attacking player
23:35that in the crucial moment is going to be there for us.
23:38We bought Milito from Genoa.
23:42We sold Ibrahimovic to Barcelona.
23:45And we took a toll in the business.
23:48That must be one of the best swap dealers anyone has ever done.
23:52Because Eto joined having won the treble with Barcelona.
23:56I don't think there's a better transfer window.
24:02Inter started in the Champions League poorly.
24:16We were still in the group phase.
24:19We lost 1-0 with Dynamo Kiev.
24:22They were really on the brink of going out.
24:25The group phase is something that you have to play
24:28with the mathematics in front of your eyes.
24:32You have always to control your destiny.
24:35It's time for you.
24:37When he finishes the first time,
24:38Mourinho joins us all in the match.
24:41He says,
24:42Look, at this moment we are out of the Champions.
24:44I want to risk.
24:46So I will remove two or three players
24:48and put everyone in attack
24:50because we need to win the game.
24:52He's going to win the game.
25:22With the mental stability to cope with the difficult moments.
25:27Tell them exactly what you expect from them.
25:30I give you an example of a very strong-minded guy, Samuel Eto'o.
25:37The week before, the last 16 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge,
25:42I fought him every day.
25:44Big, big discussion, big level of pressure.
25:48I told him, I'm not going to play you.
25:50You are not in your best level, you are not going to play.
25:53Please, mister, let me play.
25:55No, there is no.
25:56Please, mister, you are not going to play, you are not performing.
25:59I don't trust you.
26:00It was one week, one week of an emotional work with him.
26:08Chelsea can't afford this to become a love-in for the opposition manager.
26:12They can't have anything which could possibly sidetrack what this occasion is all about.
26:20such a strong guy that I knew that he would react the way he did react.
26:27Schnaider on it goes.
26:32Ekko brings it down to the control.
26:34Ekko!
26:36Schlapper into the goal in the last day of the Champions League.
26:40He made us believe and convinced that this team could win the game.
27:10To know them, to understand them, and to deal with them as a complete individual.
27:18With Mourinho, this team really did bond.
27:22They had this Argentine core of Samuel, Javier Zanetti, Milito, Cambiasso, and they would have these barbecues.
27:34Walter Samuel would be the kind of grill master.
27:37That was a traditional thing in Argentina.
27:41But Jose Mourinho liked it because it was a moment of union.
27:46It was a moment of a great family.
27:53We were really a team. We had everything.
27:55Personalities, experience, physicality, empathy, friendship.
28:01Molito with a shoot and just scores for Inter Milan.
28:07When you allow somebody to be themselves, you allow them to form a bond with you.
28:11And that's what his players had.
28:13They felt that they could come to him with their problems. They felt that they could confide in him.
28:20They have this almost spiritual belief in Mourinho's gifts.
28:24It is like talking about a cult leader.
28:27In the words of Wesley Snyder, he would run through the wall and go to war for Jose Mourinho.
28:34I arrived as the principal coach for Sporting Lisbon in 1992.
28:56And Jose met me, introduced himself to me, that he would be my interpreter.
29:05Not only in Sporting but later on in Porto.
29:10I'm very happy that Jose is here. I do need him for my work.
29:15My work is very important and Jose can help me.
29:19I went from Porto to Barcelona. I took Jose.
29:28So Mourinho works as an interpreter in Barcelona.
29:33He was working with great managers, Bobby Robson, Louis van Gaal,
29:38and obviously working with great players, among whom there was Pep Guardiola.
29:45The Barcelona squad, they nicknamed him the translator.
29:50Mourinho sort of felt it was putting him on the outside. He wasn't one of them.
29:54In time, that really came to great on him, that he felt he wasn't taken seriously.
30:03Barcelona come to replace Frank Rijkaard.
30:07Rijkaard who'd won the Champions League as Barcelona's coach in 2006.
30:12They wanted either Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola.
30:16You think of a compound of CVs at that point.
30:18Mourinho has won a Champions League, he's won UEFA Cup with Porto,
30:22he's won two league titles with Chelsea.
30:24Guardiola's had one season managing Barcelona's reserves.
30:27And still they give it to Guardiola because Guardiola's one of them.
30:31He reflected their values, their identity, more so than Jose Mourinho.
30:37After that rejection, it's almost like that's the moment which he becomes the Dark Lord.
30:43That's the moment in which he decides, I am that which Barcelona is not.
30:47If they're going to play with the ball, I will play without.
30:50If they're going to play to entertain, I will make sure nobody has any fun ever again.
30:54Inter reach the semi-finals of the Champions League and they're playing against Barcelona.
31:08Of course it's Barcelona.
31:10Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, they're defending champions.
31:14There was not a feeling that they could go and take the game to a team like Barcelona.
31:17Nobody believed he could win.
31:21So before the semi-final, Eiffel Ljöckl, the Icelandic volcano,
31:26erupted, cast an ash cloud over Europe and that means that Barcelona can't fly to Milan for the first leg.
31:31They had to get a bus.
31:33It's a long journey for a whole team to take right before one of the most important games of the season.
31:37How much that impacts the game itself, that's a thing that we can never fully know the answer to.
31:45When you get to the knockout against a team like Barcelona, you have to win your match at home.
31:51His fury that he didn't get the Barcelona job back then, he motivates so much.
31:56After that, Mourinho said to me,
32:02look at that he'll be the third-final and he'll mark Messi.
32:06I knew Messi because we were a national company.
32:09At the moment, he was the best player in the world.
32:15Pedro scored the first goal. They started at a decent pace.
32:17But, Inter were magnificent.
32:23They played genuine attacking football.
32:26In every zone that Messi was there, there was always me and my other two friends.
32:32To not lose these spaces, he could make the difference.
32:35We won 3-1, could be more.
32:43It was a fantastic performance.
32:49In Inter, my bench was full of top players in the end of their career.
32:56Cordoba, Toldo, Materazzi, Stankovic, they were not my first choices, but they were my big allies.
33:11I still remember the Cordoba Awards in the semifinal in Barcelona.
33:17Cordoba was on the bench and he wanted to do a little speech to the players.
33:23And he was saying, this is my dream.
33:27This is my last opportunity.
33:30I'm not playing because of him.
33:33He decided to put me on the bench.
33:36He decided to play you.
33:38So you are going to play for me.
33:41When you have this kind of person on the bench, on the dressing room,
33:46your work becomes much more easier.
33:48I know that they could do anything for me.
33:53I would do also anything for them.
33:58It's the game of all games.
34:01It's the game that becomes such a core element in Jose Mourinho's legend.
34:06Barcelona have this deficit to make up.
34:10I remember when we came to the field,
34:13there was this huge stretch from Barcelona.
34:17Bayern Munich await the winners in the final.
34:20That was, I believe, a pressure for them.
34:23They believed that this could be possible.
34:27We go there with a strategy to try to control, to try to bite in, in counter-attack.
34:35We had fantastic qualities to play and defend in a lower block, then to counter-attack.
34:40After 20 minutes or so.
34:42And that was a blazing arm in the face by Mota.
34:47It's a straight red card for Thiago Mota, the former Barcelona player.
34:52When Thiago Mota is sent off, Sergio Busquets does a little peek-a-be through his hands
34:57to make sure the referee is doing the right thing.
35:00People sometimes are afraid to speak about it.
35:03I'm never afraid to speak about it.
35:05Which is the referee decisions that are always crucial.
35:10Can they survive?
35:13Ten men having to defend a two-goal lead against the best attacking team on the planet.
35:17To play with ten players in Barcelona becomes epic.
35:22It's hit hard by Ibrahimovic!
35:24You need heroes.
35:26You need to have the best out of everybody.
35:2945 frustrating minutes from Barcelona's perspective.
35:33He was convinced that we arrived in the final.
35:36I think I was brilliant in the way I organized the team.
35:41His conviction was very strong and he was transmitted to all of us.
35:45We defended with everything we had.
35:48Clipped into the box, that's the chance, and it's wide!
35:50It was gripping.
35:52It was drama.
35:54We defended with hearts, with souls.
35:56Javi into Piquet.
35:57Champs from Barcelona.
35:59Piquet must score!
36:00Piquet must score!
36:01It's seven minutes to go!
36:03We give absolutely everything.
36:06Right foot shot beaten away by Cezanne.
36:10The referee blows the full-time whistle into Milan and into the European Cup final for the first time in 38 years.
36:18The best thing about it for Mourinho is that the final whistle, he runs on the pitch to celebrate and Barcelona turn on the sprinklers.
36:25This is the most beautiful defeat of my career.
36:35The former interpreter of Barcelona has returned to the Nou Camp to end Barcelona's dream.
36:41All that they did was not interested in us.
36:45How beautiful to cry with joy!
36:47Beautiful!
36:49And in that moment, whatever moral superiority Barcelona tried to claim about playing football the right way, that is destroyed in that moment.
37:00And it's Mourinho who's destroyed it.
37:12The fact that you play with ten men for so long makes it something absolutely incredible.
37:22If I could choose one of my most emotional performances, career more of 20 years, I had to choose that one.
37:31No one in Italian football had ever won the treble.
37:42We played Italian Cup final.
37:45We played the last match of the season.
37:47To win the title, we have to win the match to win the title.
37:49The drama of the semi-final against Barcelona, to win the way we did, the feeling was, it's our cup.
38:09But Inter were coming up against a very, very good Bayern Munich side, coached by Louis van Gaal, someone who taught him so much about the game.
38:17Jose was his assistant coach in Barcelona, and there was a special relationship and a lot of respect between the two coaches.
38:24I don't think that gets emphasized enough because people take literally the words of the fact that Van Gaal had called him a defensive coach.
38:34It's the most important game of football in the planet.
38:38More important than the World Cup final.
38:40We are witnessing here a wonderful scene inside the Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid, of the 2010 Champions League final.
38:51Final.
38:56Van Gaal said those words in hopes of provoking a reaction of Mourinho.
39:01But of course, Mourinho wasn't going to fall for that.
39:06Diego Melito really was a kind of hidden gem.
39:09And would be the man in the decisive moments.
39:16Here's Schneider, onto Mourinho, into the penalty.
39:18This could be 1-0!
39:19It is 1-0!
39:21Mourinho is smashing the ball!
39:23High into the roof of the net!
39:26Bluntly, you could call it Route 1.
39:28But it's not an act of chance.
39:33It's all part of the plan.
39:35Asher finds Mourinho, faced by Van Borten.
39:38Mourinho was the one Mourinho said,
39:39you're going to be the one who leads the line for us.
39:42Knowing the right words to say to a player,
39:44to get under their skin and tell them who they're going to be.
39:47And he told Mourinho that you're going to be the guy.
39:50Up to the edge of the penalty.
39:51Into the penalty.
39:52Great run!
39:53Great goal!
39:54Finished!
39:55Finished!
39:56Profound Munich!
39:57Into Mourinho!
39:58We'll be Champions of Europe!
40:00You'd score the goal that won in the league.
40:03The goal that won in the Coppa Italia.
40:07The goals that won in the Champions League.
40:10And Inter Milan!
40:11Can't believe it!
40:12This obsession that they've had for 45 years!
40:15Maybe it shouldn't be a dream!
40:17Tonight, the dream has been realized!
40:21It's been an emotional, for me, incredible.
40:29To be the captain of the squadron,
40:30to have the privilege and the honor of raising that trophy,
40:33will be one of the most beautiful moments that I will remember forever.
40:36I didn't sign with Real Madrid before the final.
40:37I refused to.
40:38I wanted to play the final.
40:39I didn't sign with Real Madrid before the final.
40:48I refused to.
40:49I wanted to play the final without any contract signed with Real Madrid.
40:55I went to the dressing room and I ran away.
40:56I went to the bus to say goodbye and I didn't even shake one hand.
40:59I wanted to escape because I know if I get into the dressing room,
41:02I didn't sign with Real Madrid before the final.
41:04I refused to.
41:05I wanted to play the final without any contract signed with Real Madrid.
41:10I went to the dressing room and I ran away.
41:16I went to the bus to say goodbye and I didn't even shake one hand.
41:22I wanted to escape because I know if I get into the dressing room,
41:29if I get into the bus, if I go back with them to Milan,
41:33if I walk into the San Siro full, if I walk into the Duomo full of people,
41:39I think I wouldn't go to Real Madrid.
41:42I think the emotion would stop me to go.
41:47But I wanted so much to go, but I had to escape.
42:00And Marco got me there.
42:03As the car is pulling out, he sees Marco Materazzi.
42:08Even more perfect because he's Italian.
42:17The end of an Italian journey.
42:19When you see in this image that Marco is hugging him,
42:22what is the demonstration of what I know the meaning for us in these two years?
42:28I have replicas of the cups and of course I have the original medals.
42:39But I'm honest with you.
42:41I don't care about the cups and I don't care about the medals.
42:44I care of what I have here.
42:46And I care what people from those clubs, they have here and there.
42:53His passion, his love, his respect.
43:00What he did with Porto and with Inter.
43:03Taking Porto to the most improbable Champions League win.
43:06A thing that has not been matched in the modern era,
43:09a team from outside the big leagues.
43:12He marked a generational change of European coaches by his methods
43:17that were a breakthrough at that time.
43:20Our report was not a report of a coach, a coach, a coach, a coach.
43:28He went beyond.
43:33Wow, what a manager.
43:35Not only one of the great managers of the era,
43:37but one of the great managers of all time.
43:39He's history, you know.
43:44Why am I now here speaking with you?
43:47It's because I am a double Champions League winner.
43:50It's the reason.
43:51So you go to Porto and you go to Milan and everybody knows.
43:552004, Champions League winner.
43:582010, Champions League winner.
44:00Who was the coach? Mourinho.
44:02This is its target.
44:03This is RICHES into camp.
44:04Here's right.
44:05This is the 7-end app.
44:06We're not.
44:07We are here to get nice.
44:09One day.
44:10Henry Vovato if you want,
44:11when you want to go to sum.
44:12In by you.
44:13Maybe you'll go to LA.
44:16You'll be later.
44:17Here's like...
44:18-
