"Impossible!"
Mourinho said firmly, "He's not as good as Rijkaard. Some people can't keep up with the developments in soccer by the age of 60, while others around his age can maintain competitiveness in the fierce competition of the Premier League."
"Who are the 'some people' you're talking about?" the host continued to ask.
"Whoever you think it is," Mourinho said, shifting his sitting position.
"So what do you think is the key to AC Milan's success in defending their UEFA Champions League title?"
"Kevin!" Mourinho exclaimed, "I've watched the Champions League finals over the past two years. Kevin's performance was impressive; he's a clear-thinking player. But creating a cage to contain him isn't easy because he attacks from the left but stays in the middle. It's very difficult. When Kevin is one-on-one with you, you're done for. I've already told the Chelsea players, if you face Kevin, don't go one-on-one; you must build a cage around him."
