Pepe: Mourinho has not lost any ability, he is still himself and will do his best to win the title

October 8th, famous Pepe attended the Portuguese Football Global Gala and talked about topics such as Portugal, Porto, Mourinho and other topics in an interview.

Pepe first talked about the Portuguese national team: "About the national team, we must congratulate coach Martinez and the Portuguese Football Association, because we are on the right path. I hope God bless us to be able to beat Ireland and Hungary at home so that we can get closer to the World Cup. I am very confident and confident because the Portuguese national team is showing that they will be one of the World Cup championship teams."

Pepe retired last summer and he is still paying attention to the old master Porto, "I am very happy to see Porto win again, they are currently ranked first in the Portuguese Super League, and the league is currently competitive. There is still a long way to go, But I hope Porto can win the championship because I have been there for many years. I think Porto needs to win the championship again and win the game again. "

Porto has conceded only 2 goals so far this season, and Pepe continued: "I think Porto is being built as one of the teams that have conceded the least goals in Europe and the world, and I hope they can continue to maintain this state. Because when I play, the teams that have conceded the least goals are more likely to win league and cup championships. Coach Valeoli did not surprise me, and those who know football know their ability to coach. "

Mourinho returned to Benfica in September this year to coach, Pepe "We have a new Benfica coach, I know him very well, and he will definitely not give up any game easily. He is a valuable asset in Portugal football and the league. Having a coach like Mourinho is always beneficial for our league, and I think everyone will pay attention to his press conference. This will increase our global attention because Mourinho attracts a lot of people and lets them see the level of Portugal football."

Pepe worked with Mourinho during his time at Real Madrid, and he continued: "I have been trained by Mourinho, understand his abilities, he is an excellent coach, and he will definitely do his best. Try to make Benfica win. But I hope this doesn't happen because, as I said, I want to see Porto win the championship again. "

Someone questioned that Mourinho's coaching ability has declined now, and Pepe said: "I don't think Mourinho has lost anything, he is still Mourinho. In my own experience, over time, you will learn a lot, you will not be so emotional, but more rational, and Mourinho is constantly improving in these aspects. Mourinho is a more...can't be said to be calm, but he is more calm when facing a draw or a loss."
