Mourinho: European Cup is the 'Special One'

-->

The Portuguese coach is determined to get his hands on the continental crown for a third time in his career, and has reflected on his famous nickname.

'The European Cup is the Special One'

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho believes that this year's Champions League title could be called "the Special One".

 The Liga champions are currently in search of their 10th European crown, and the former Inter boss has fond memories of the trophy, having won it with both Inter and Porto.

 “Madrid are looking for a 10th title, which is an impressive figure," he told Sky Sports.

 "I am seeking a third with a different club, which would be very special to me, but ambitions are calm and controlled, and we will succeed. The European Cup is the 'Special One'.

 “When I won the Champions League with Porto the next day was another day in my life. I don’t like to celebrate because I always think it will not be the last, that there is another just around the corner.
 “So I won, I kissed the cup and I went home."

 The Portuguese went on to state that he has no problems with the nickname 'the Special One', which he came up with during his first press conference at Chelsea.

 “It does not bother me. It is a consequence of my words, I cannot fault anyone for using that name. I said those words from the depths of my heart.

 "I felt I could really have an impact in England, I could do something special. It was a funny moment, in a good way."

THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO!

-->
No fewer than three persons were crushed to death yesterday [Nov. 21] when a 40-feet containerized vehicle fell on a Mazda car on the Badagry-Seme Expressway. The accident which occurred at about 1.15pm was attributed to the bad road which has been a nightmare to commuters and other users of the road. The containerized vehicle with registration number XT 339 AKD was said to be conveying some goods when it lost control and fell on the car, with four occupants. Three of the passengers died instantly, while the driver was in a critical condition. 

Three of the occupants pulled out from the crushed car had already died. Vanguard learnt that the driver of the truck fled immediately the accident occurred. Eye witnesses told Vanguard that the bad portion of the road has been left because of the ongoing reconstruction and that the danger has been there all along. 

“For the fact that the road is no longer manageable, road users often drive against traffic to avoid container carrying trucks; now it has claimed lives”, exclaimed a regular road user. The accident attracted a lot of condemnations of the government towards its people, with an eye-witness saying; “This is an indication that we are all driving on a time bomb. It could be I or you tomorrow”. 

As at the time LASTMA officials arrived the scene of the accident with a towing van in order to lift the container off the compressed car, a large number good spirited Nigerians, who swung into action almost immediately the accident occurred, had already evacuated the passengers on board the car with registration number UK 641 KJA.
