Mourinho reveals foul-mouthed team talk inspired Man Utd comeback

The Red Devils boss was furious with his side after seeing them fall behind at Crystal Palace, but got the response he was after in a 3-2 win

Jose Mourinho revealed that a foul-mouthed half-time team talk helped him to inspire Manchester United to a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace.

Having seen his side fall behind to an early Andros Townsend effort at Selhurst Park, the Red Devils boss was fuming upon entering the away dressing room at the interval.
Some home truths were handed out by the irate Portuguese, whose mood is unlikely to have improved as United then conceded to Patrick van Aanholt within three minutes of the restart.
They were, however, to come roaring back, with Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic sealing a dramatic victory to put a smile back on their manager’s face.

Quizzed on what he had said to his team during the break, Mourinho said: “I cannot tell you half of the things I told my team at half-time because there would be lots of bleeping on television.
“There were a few strong words at half-time relating to their attitude and the intensity of the game.

“To come back from 2-0 down away from home against a team that is desperate for points, it gives us a great feeling.
“It's a remarkable comeback, but we made mistakes. The first goal is a bad goal. We started bad once more, not pressing the ball or the opponent and giving them much space.

“In the second half we were all expecting a direct comeback, and then we concede a goal that is a good goal to show the kids in the academies in the country. It shows top players can concede silly goals.
“But then the attitude, the intensity, the quality, the dynamic, the risk were fantastic.”
Victory over Palace has allowed United to move back into second spot in the Premier League table.
They are still 16 points adrift of runaway leaders Manchester City, and only two in front of arch-rivals Liverpool, but a runner-up finish and Champions League qualification remains in their hands.
The Red Devils do have a testing run of fixtures approaching, though, with the next month set to see them face Liverpool, Sevilla, Brighton, Swansea and City across league, FA Cup and Champions League competition

Details of the recent averted plane crash involving the Presiding Bishop of the Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo and his wife has been revealed by the pilot of the aircraft Captain Samuel Adegoga. Narrating how the accident happened , a pastor in the church, Adebisi read the report  from the aircraft’s pilot during a thanksgiving service on Friday. “The main malfunction we had in the Cyprus-Israel flight was a stabilizer twin-motor failure. During the said flight that we had the twin motor failure, the auto-pilot could no longer exert the desired pressure to keep the aircraft in the required altitude for stability flight. “The captain disconnected the auto-pilot, took and returned the aircraft to the required altitude for that phase of the flight. Because the aircraft was out of trim during this takeover, the aircraft abruptly pitched off with much pitch force. ” The captain counteracted it with a pitch down force. These counter forces caused turbulence and mo...

Coronavirus: It's Many Lies, Facts.

Image
According to Galileo Galilei, Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty. Coronavirus The advent of corona virus has brought about many myths, disinformation and fake news about what it is and it's mode of transmission. This challenge is more prominent in online spaces like blogs and the social media. This is not to deny the obvious that facts also get disseminated through those mediums by legitimate sources.  These anomalies are the reasons why I decided to make my own little contribution by separating the facts from the fakes after investigations on the claims and counter claims. Below are the falsehood and facts which I will differentiate with "LIES" and FACT." 1a. Lies: Corona virus kills anyone who gets infected. 1b. Fact: Most people who get infected develop mild illness and recover without needing professional assistance. To buttress this point...
