<p>Newspaper <em>El País</em> has <a href="http://eskup.elpais.com/*tentacioneselfalsoeskupde">parodied</a> an imaginary day in the life of José Mourinho.  It&#8217;s quite amusing, and I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if some of the events posted about actually occurred&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Highlights:</span></p>
<p>&#8211; good morning.  Today, I woke up feeling like the best coach in the world.  It&#8217;s strange, I hadn&#8217;t thought that for two days.</p>
<p>&#8211; breakfast with Tami and the kids.  I&#8217;ve planned for them a dietary plan where they can only consume 433 calories.  José Jr. gets out of control and takes in 441.</p>
<p>&#8211; watching videos of myself.  Sometimes, I am just so amazed by how well I speak.  <a title="http://www.marca.com/tv/?v=YVE6SJp4kvt" href="http://cort.as/08gg" target="_blank">http://cort.as/08gg</a></p>
<p>&#8211; my bodyguard is sick.  So, today I&#8217;ll have to spend the whole day at home because I don&#8217;t want some crazy person to keep me from my destination.</p>
<p>&#8211; it appears that Spanish football is rigged.  I would do anything to win, but I have too much class to do these types of things.  <a title="http://www.elpais.com/articulo/reportajes/Futbol/compra/venta/elpepusocdmg/20100808elpdmgrep_1/Tes" href="http://cort.as/08hO" target="_blank">http://cort.as/08hO</a></p>
<p>&#8211; speaking on the phone with Kaká.  How sensitive is this boy: he says he&#8217;s not going to cry over his injuries and he feels hurt. <em> </em>Soft!</p>
<p><em><!--more--></em>&#8211; all the players are crazy about me.  Normal.  But I prefer that they fear me more than they love me.</p>
<p>&#8211; this boy writes pretty well.  He plays that secondary sport&#8230; what&#8217;s it called&#8230; basketball?  <a title="http://lacomunidad.elpais.com/baloncesto/2010/5/31/-que-vivan-novios-" href="http://cort.as/0-kt" target="_blank">http://cort.as/0-kt</a></p>
<p>&#8211; I&#8217;m humble.  I will admit there there&#8217;s a possibility that I won&#8217;t win the World Cup when I coach Portugal: when God calls me to his side to take charge of something up there.</p>
<p>&#8211; poor Ibra.  Look at him, having to play for a team like Barça&#8230;  <a title="http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/ibrahimovic-le-asusta-mourinho/dasftb/20100804dasdaiftb_38/Tes" href="http://cort.as/08jT" target="_blank">http://cort.as/08jT</a></p>
<p>&#8211; I might have been wrong in saying that it would be a failure if we don&#8217;t win two titles.  I should have said three.</p>
<p>&#8211; I have a lot of desire to see this kid&#8217;s face again.  And to beat him again.</p>

<p>&#8211; preparing quotes for the future: &#8220;Madrid is the best team in the world.  The strange thing is that I didn&#8217;t coach them until now.&#8221;  Does that sound too arrogant?  I hate YouTube.</p>

<p>_______________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Can you imagine what other days in the life of&#8230; would be like?  Here&#8217;s how I imagine some of them would start.</p>
<p><strong>Kaká: </strong>wake up, reach for the Bible, and start reading.</p>
<p><strong>Cristiano: </strong>wake up, slide out of bed (the silk sheets feel <em>so</em> good), walk up to the mirror and look at myself.  Is it too early to call Kaká?</p>
<p><strong>Sergio: </strong>wake up excited, because I get to wear my new orange pants with my new Louis Vuitton bag and Gucci belt!  <em>Estoy súper contento, ¿no?</em></p>
<p><strong>Iker: </strong>wake up, get out of bed, trip over Sara&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">ugly</span> shoes and my man bag, which are on the floor where we left them last night.  Decide not to shave, again.</p>
<p><strong>Benzema/Drenthe/Özil: </strong>wake up, hop in the shower, start rapping.</p>
<p><strong>Albiol/Arbeloa/Xabi: </strong>wake up, go check on the kid(s).  Think about what pose the four musketeers will do today for the twitter world.</p>
<p><strong>Rafa: </strong>wake up, say a quick prayer that today won&#8217;t be the day that Madrid sells me, and stay in bed, because I am married to Sylvie van der Vaart.</p>
<p><strong>Pipita/Garay: </strong>wake up, call Garay/Pipita.</p>
<p>Your thoughts?</p>
