Inter Milan boss Mourinho in furious blast at media

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has launched an amazing attack on the Italian media. Mourinho is fed-up with the lack of recognition his Inter team has received this season - and particularly after their 3-3 draw with Roma.

"There has been the greatest amount of intellectual manipulation," Mourinho maintained.

"There was a concerted, organised effort to manipulate public opinion. It was fantastic work but it is unrelated to my world - I work in football.

"I don't like intellectual prostitution - I like honesty," Jose continued.

"Over the last few days nobody has mentioned that Roma have great players but will end the season without a title.

"Nobody has mentioned that Milan have 11 fewer points than us and will end the season without a title.

"Nobody has spoken about Juventus, who have won so many points thanks to refereeing mistakes.

"We have only won one game thanks to a mistake and that was the Siena match.

"Claudio Ranieri said he is shoulder to shoulder with Luciano Spalletti? Well, I will side with all the Coaches who have fallen foul against Juventus - Cesare Prandelli, Pasquale Marino, Gigi Del Neri…

"Every time I turn on the TV I see Spalletti, who is everyone's friend, but I don't like prime time television.

"I don't know whether these people pay to be interviewed. I know that they offer me money for interviews and I refuse because I don't manipulate reality."
