Reaction: Mourinho - "Crespo is on fire."
Saturday, Nov 26, 2005
Jose Mourinho was as subdued as the match he had just witnessed in
the press conferences, cool in the knowledge that his players had
convincingly earned another three points without ever having to perform
at their best.
The standout performer was perhaps Joe Cole, whose all-round skills
bedazzled Pompey and rightly earned the penalty that sealed victory. On a
day when the crowd had shown its appreciation of a talented midfield
maestro with a minute’s silence that developed into a round of sincere
applause, the Chelsea boss was asked — in dubious taste — whether Cole
was “your George Best.”
Jose was dignified in his response. “Let Joe do his work. He is one
of the best wingers in the country, that's no doubt,” he said. “They
couldn't stop him because he was too powerful. He got one penalty and
might have had another.”
Cole's influence brought attention from the Fratton Park crowd as
well as poor challenges from the home defenders. Jose revealed that the
middleman was taken off late to avoid him “reacting” and receiving a
yellow card that would mean suspension.
The goalscorers were also praised. Frank Lampard converted the spot-
kick Cole won to cap his record-breaking 160th consecutive appearance.
“The record is unbelievable,” reiterated his manager, “and I hope
he can go on and on and on. I think only he can beat it. He kept the game
under control. He didn't run around too much. We played with control.”
Control was what enabled Hernan Crespo to redirect Paulo Ferreira's
whipped shot (heading just wide) for the early opener. He was later
withdrawn with a back injury. “Muscle, ribs, we don't know yet,” said
Mourinho. “We hope he can recover because he is on fire: three goals in
three games. Maybe some think [his] was a lucky goal but not for me. He
feels the ball, he smells it.”
Caretaker manager Joe Jordan had for the second season running spoken
up for his side losing 0-2. He chose to praise the Argentinean after
citing Petr Cech, who saved superbly from LuaLua with the score 0-0, as a
major contributor.
“That was a terrific save and a great effort,” said the Pompey boss.
“It was vital for us to keep a clean sheet and LuaLua was denied by great
save. I've got to give credit to Crespo. He's got terrific movement. They
get the chance and they take it. The goal came from a great piece of
finishing. He's a player who scores goals. He gets the chance and he takes
it.”
