Liverpool legend Dalglish attacks Real Madrid coach Mourinho

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has made an amazing attack on Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.

King Kenny says the former Chelsea manager is anything but the Special One.

He wrote in his column for the Mail on Sunday: "Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti are both outstanding football managers but their personalities could not be more different. It says everything that Mourinho has managed to earn himself a disciplinary charge following a 4-0 victory while Ancelotti has remained perfectly dignified despite all sorts of disasters on and off the field for Chelsea.

"I wonder who really deserves to be called the Special One. Mourinho, who has won everything but treats the spirit of the game as an inconvenience, or Ancelotti, who has won everything but refuses to moan or complain when things go badly, as they have done in the build-up to today's game against Newcastle United.

"Mourinho is like Marmite, you either love or hate him. He has won too many times for it to be a coincidence and I think his trick is to get the players onside from the start. He gets them to believe in what he's doing and they are then desperate to try to make it happen."
