Barca scared of Mourinho

Getafe coach Bernd Schuster has gone against popular opinion in Spain, declaring his great admiration for Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

Asked to nominate his favourite coach, Schuster told AS: "It's Mourinho. He excites me.
"They caned him in Barcelona because they're scared of him. What he does with his team is fantastic. It is not my philosophy, but I like a lot how he works. And we cannot forget that all his players are stars, which would be difficult to manage."
Schuster also revealed before he took up his position at Getafe, he spent some time with Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
"I want to learn, to see more things. For that reason, when I was not coaching I spent ten days following the methods of Arsenal. And it fascinated me. Wenger is an educated gentleman and speaks perfect German."
