The new Madrid "Real" coach Jose Mourinho told "Vanity Fair" magazine his opinion about the last "Premier" league season and the winners "Arsenal" playing style.

The Portuguese began by saying that it is not necessary to achieve victory in order to be great and honored.

J. Mourinho said: "There is a silly theory: 'If you haven't won, you won't be great.' I disagree with that.

If "Arsenal" had tried to copy "Manchester City's" style, they probably wouldn't have won, that's what I think. Nevertheless, they tried something different and won. It is necessary to respect the winners."
