Mourinho: "After Madrid to England, that's for sure"


José Mourinho has again insisted that sooner or later he intends to return to England and coach in the Premier League. He said this in an interview to Sky Sports, in which he assured that "after Real Madrid, I want to coach in England again". "That's for sure. I keep repeating the same thing, I'm sure that it's where I want to be", he said.
"When I talk about my future in Spain, they immediately twist my words, but I can't deny something I’m so sure about", stated the Portuguese coach.
When asked if he had any preference or had ruled out coaching any English club in particular, Mourinho said: "I could coach at any English club, at all of them. I'm a Blue, a London Blue, but above all else, I'm a professional".
Mourinho left Chelsea in September 2007, having managed the club for three seasons. Last season, it was speculated that the Portuguese might leave Real Madrid and return to take charge of one of the bigger Premier League sides.
Right now, he hasn't wanted to set a time frame for his return to England or limit his managerial options, insisting that he's open to any club. Mourinho has also insisted on a number of occasions that he would like to coach the Portuguese national team one day. However, according to his most recent comments, this would have to wait until after his second spell in the Premier League.

Villa: "The national team is like my family"


David Villa wants to enjoy every minute of his time with the Spanish national team. The team spent ten months without its number 7, the amount of time it took him to recover the serious injury that ruled him out of Euro 2012. Now he's only thinking about one thing: having fun. Congratulations to him and the national team because the best goalscorer ever produced by Spain is once again where he should be, on the pitch in a red shirt.
"I missed my teammates, experiencing all of this, arriving at training camp and training with the national team. Fortunately I can now experience these moments again. This team is like part of my family", Villa explained emotionally.
The Barcelona forward gives thanks to Del Bosque: "I have to be grateful for the faith that the coaching staff have placed in me. I love to come away with the national team and be with my teammates. They really are like my family. I really enjoy it and it's obvious that I was looking forward to coming back. It was tough being away, but I’m back again now".
Villa says he feels "increasingly better. I feel very good and I'm improving daily. I have increasingly more acceleration and speed".
"Goals are the most important thing for a striker, but right now I'm just looking to play and improve my match fitness after so long without playing", he concluded.
