Robin van Persie Triumphs Over Mourinho…
Former Manchester United ace Robin van Persie showed Jose Mourinho who’s boss as they faced off from the sidelines. Now leading Feyenoord, van Persie has turned his coaching staff into a reunion party with ex-Reds assistant manager Rene Hake. Wednesday night’s Champions League qualifier was like a blockbuster movie, starring van Persie’s Feyenoord against Mourinho’s Fenerbahce. The match climaxed with Anis Hadj-Moussa sinking a goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time, so late it seemed only possible in a dimension where clocks have an extra hour.
Despite the setback, Mourinho remains as defiant as a cat trying to fit into a shoebox. His confidence in reversing the 2-1 loss is as unshakeable as his hair gel. “It’s a challenge, not a mountain,” Mourinho said, hinting at extra-time heroics in the next leg.
