'We don't plan for anybody,' says manager ahead of derby

[Jake]

Sorry is it just me or is that statement really stupid?

Imagine playing Real Madrid and treating Ronaldo in the same way you would Khedira on the pitch.

Me no comprende.

as manager admits to special plans for Welsh Wonder.

Is how the story would go if he said anything else

Possibly best not to read anything into what is said, j

It's become pretty obvious that we just 'wing it' for most matches these days.

AW believes that if we play as well as we can, we'll beat anybody.

His approach is unique. Every phrase he uses is important. He is totally professional.

"His attention to detail, his planning and preparation, his understanding of the opposition, his tactics... everything."

But could not the same be said of Sir Alex Ferguson, Fabio Capello or Louis van Gaal, Bayern's boss and Mourinho's former mentor? What is different about Mourinho?

Branca thought for a while and said: "He is Jose. That's his secret."

Fitness coach Rui Faria, who has worked alongside Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter, added: "Every other top coach says they work hard and they prepare better than anyone else, but they can't make what Mourinho does.

"Everything he does is better. He works harder than anyone else. He knows everything about every player and every game."

Ronaldo is the one to worry about, said Ferguson,

I am trying to guess what surprise he (Mourinho) could pull, but I am thinking of something to annoy him!
