Pep Mourinho.......


23 years ago, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho were friends at Barcelona... now, after eye pokes, beautiful defeats and many, many trophies, they have become the best of enemies

It's a picture that shows a different time and frankly, one that people nowadays might find hard to imagine; Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, sat side-by-side as friends, wearing crests of the same club.
It was April 16, 2000, that such a snap was taken, 20 years ago. Guardiola, 29, was approaching the end of his penultimate season at Barcelona, where he'd won six league titles and the European Cup in 1992.

Mourinho was 37 and approaching the end of his time at Barca as part of Louis van Gaal's coaching setup.  Less than six months later he would be his own man at Benfica, embarking on the start of a managerial career that would see a great rivalry emerge with old friend Guardiola.

But in April 2000, they were friends. 
'We did talk about things when we both had doubts, and we would exchange ideas, but I don't remember it as something which defined our relationship,' Guardiola once said of Mourinho. 
'He was (Bobby) Robson's assistant (before Van Gaal took over in 1997) and I was a player.'
Mourinho returned to Portugal to take charge of Benfica but months into the role, Robson approached him with the offer to become his assistant at Newcastle.
'He knew my ambition wouldn't allow me to accept an assistant coach role,' Mourinho said in his biography. 'He told me it would only be for a year, two tops, and that at the end of that time I would be head coach and club manager.
'But he had forgotten that I had worked with him for many years and so I knew him well. It is unthinkable to picture him as a manager, watching from the stands.'
But Mourinho's time at Benfica lasted a matter of months. He resigned in December 2000 after a new club president was elected and, after stating he wanted to hire an ex-player as coach, refused to offer Mourinho a new contract following a 3-0 win over Sporting Lisbon.
His next chance was at Union de Leira in July 2001, where his success caught the eye of Porto and he became head coach there in January 2002.
In 2003, Mourinho steered Porto to the league title by 11 points over former club Benfica, while also lifting the UEFA Cup after beating Celtic in the final. But it was the following season where Mourinho truly announced himself onto the global stage, when Porto won the Champions League and eliminated Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United on the way. Victory at Old Trafford prompted his iconic touchline dash after Costinha's 89th minute away goal.
Of course, Chelsea came next and Mourinho introduced himself as 'The Special One' at his opening press conference. Premier League glory duly followed, conceding just 15 goals in the process, and he successfully defended it the following season.

But in 2007, he exited the club on September 20 after a stuttering start to the Champions League and a breakdown in his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich.
By this point, Guardiola had made his first steps as a manager. He retired from playing in June 2007 and returned to Barcelona, where he had left in 2001, as coach of the B team.
So successful was his young Barcelona side that he was there only a season before replacing Frank Rijkaard as manager of the senior team in 2008 and ushering in an era of unprecedented success. 
Spearheaded on the pitch by Lionel Messi, Guardiola led Barcelona to three LaLiga titles, two Champions League victories and two Copa del Reys. He first crossed paths with Mourinho in 2009, when the Portuguese was at the helm of Inter Milan.
Barcelona ran out 2-0 winners in the semi final of the Champions League that year but the following season, Inter beat them in the group stage and again in the semi-final as the Italian giants recorded a famous treble under Mourinho.

Inter lost the second leg against Barcelona 1-0 but advanced to the final 3-2 on aggregate, leaving Mourinho to hail his 'most beautiful defeat'.
But seven months later, with Mourinho now at the helm of Real Madrid, Guardiola exacted a devastating revenge. Barcelona ran out 5-0 winners at the Nou Camp with Messi as a false nine.
Then, in 2011, with both sides reaching the Copa del Rey final while being drawn together in the Champions League, came four Clasicos in 18 days. The first was the most timid affair, a 1-1 draw in LaLiga, with Real then winning the Copa del Rey with a stoppage time header from Ronaldo. A terse Champions League semi-final saw Barcelona win 3-1 across two legs.
The most infamous clash between the two happened at the start of the 2011-12 season, during the Spanish Super Cup where the pair exchanged a cold handshake without eye contact. A brawl was sparked by a savage Marcelo tackle on Cesc Fabregas that ended with Mourinho poking Barcelona assistant manager Tito Vilanova in the eye.
That was in August 2011 and by April 2012, the pair had faced off for the final time as managers of Spain's super clubs. Mourinho won the last duel 2-1 at the Nou Camp to end Barcelona's 55-game unbeaten home run in what was only his third win over Guardiola.

They would meet once in the next four years - in the 2013 UEFA Super Cup final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea, where both parties had taken over that summer. Bayern won 10-9 on penalties.
The next time they met, Mourinho led Manchester United and Guardiola was at the helm of Manchester City. 
They locked horns on six different occasions, Guardiola winning three, Mourinho two and one draw before the Portuguese was sacked in December 2019.
Since he has been at Tottenham, they have faced off just once and it was Spurs who were successful with a 2-0 victory. And while they cannot meet again this season, should it resume following the coronavirus pandemic, the rivalry will rumble on into 2020-21. 
Way back in April 2000, when they were sat side-by-side at Barcelona, who would have thought that their rivalry would become one of the fiercest of the century? There seems to be plenty more instalments to follow.

UNDISCOVERED SEA CREATURES, EVEN THE SIX EYED ONES

Mermaids, strange creatures, demons - Things an Old sailor saw at SEA
Sanya Agunbiade November 27, 2019
A Nigerian man who had a conversation with an old sailor with about 30 years of experience, and many encounters with mermaids, demons and strange creatures, has narrated what he was told.
The man identified as Yemi on Twitter revealed that the sailor spoke about bizarre occurrences on the sea, with his encounter with a creature that had 6 eyes.
He also spoke on his encounter with mermaids and described how ugly they are, as against the general belief they are beautiful mythical creatures.
People that spend months working on ships on water have the bizarre scariest stories to tell… the wonders in the seas and water is 10x more bizarre compared to land.
Dude started with there are more dead bodies in the water than land, victims of war, illegal travellers etc… sometimes while sailing through they come across floating dead bodies on then middle of night, numbering to 70+ makes him wonder where they came from.
And strange creatures, gigantic sea creatures come out at midnight, morelike that is their play time, and there is a gigantic version of every sea creature!
Confirming his take, science admitted to naming just 10% of sea creatures, meaning there are over 90% undiscovered creatures plus he gave a story of coming across a 6 eyed creature that swam above, each eye ball had light.. Lol
Sometimes when they are fast asleep, a particular creature makes a noise louder than 50 loud speakers put together by his description, it’s noise vibrates things on the ship and scatter, the sound moves containers filled with goods..
Further more he explained the average super giant creature is capable of capsizing 3 ships before dawn.. sometimes they feel threatened and attack, plus he said many of the ships underwater were attacked by creatures, explains why most times accidents on water is unexplainable
He explained God separated land and water for a reason and to a large extent, humans should keep to land, if it was possible for a revolution to happen and giant creatures under seas could breath on land? They will wipe out humans worldwide in a flash
He furthermore explained the sea dragon he saw.. gigantic creature with the head of a dragon with spikes on it but fish tail, mouth wide enough to swallow 4 humans put together, I digged deeper and realise the only one caught happened in the 1910. The baby version tho
And to mermaid he confirmed that existed too.. He is a sailor and has been at it for over 30 years, he claimed to have seen a mermaid in 1996, and the pictures of them in movies is laughable, he said mermaid look like humans truly but extremely ugly, at least the one he saw
He then continued in another thread
Okayyyy… Firstly every story and facts of this thread of the sea is proven real from a sailor of over 30 years with vast experiences both on and in the sea and was seen with the eye and felt too… Some which aren’t scientifically proven cuz they still lack behind.
I’m sure most people don’t know the sea comes in stages like the twilight zone, sunlidlght, midnight, trench zone etc… but we will get to that later in the thread… but the creatures first which my curiosity was really based on.
Started with an experience he had in 1999, on the sea in the cold weather, he came upshore to smoke and heard melodies coming from the waters sounds like a dull guitar sound with a mix of sounds of beads clashing. He turned on bright lamp and saw a glimpse of a giant eel.
With limbs, swam just below the ship but was disturbed by the light, he described the eel was a size of 2 sedan cars parked on a row, and it had the eyeball of a human but much bigger.. and that was his second time seeing it, a creature that is yet to be named or found by science
And this creature makes a sound in form of a melody, like a melody that serves as a decoy to attract prey or something. not to talk of fishes with 2 heads like siamese twins, 2 heads in one body not a birth defect & a resemblance of a catfish, he said they have caught about 5
In 2002 a German diver worked with them, dived into the sea and came with shocking facts that the sea has different layers that has effects and powers he felt. There is a depth and layer you dive into and get the sudden urge to sleep..
With the oxygen mask and all.. this layer has an effect on the brain and in a space of 5 secs if you don’t swim above the layer you will doze off. Another layer makes you hallucinate, the diver said he got to that layer and saw his daughter and his late mother, hallucination tho.
Every diver is advised not to get to 3000ft when diving cuz at that point is the midnight zone, the light rays from the sky doesn’t get there.. in there is total darkness and they perceived certain spirits works there, even science confirmed the midnight zone as dangerous..
And till date haven’t confirmed forces that operates there asides the black sea dragon, my friend confirmed they caught one durning industrial fishing process, something of this nature. Only moves in the midnight zone, there are the giant sizes capable of swallowing humans too.
2004 his friend, also a sailor too and a ghanian man (now late) mysteriously became dumb after he claimed to have seen a merman (male version of a mermaid). While on a ship, he sailed with a smaller boat for cruise alone in the evening and after about 30mins suddenly screamed..
The workers on the ship set out to rescue him with another boat, he had fainted but they brought him back to the ship. And after reviving he kept telling them he saw a mermaid with beards, looks so much like a man rocked his boat from under and hit him with what he wasn’t sure of
He kept murmuring this for about 20 mins while the ship crew tried to calm him and in about an hour later he became dumb and suffered partial stroke too…he lost his life in this sickness, which confirmed it to the crew then that truly mermaid exists in both Male in female forms
Just like humans, he said the believe of sailors is God created humans & animals to be on land while humans rule over animals just as he created mermaids & mermans to be in the water to rule over water creatures, and he strongly believes they live in a community just like humans
And that they dwell in the deepest part of the ocean called the “challenger zone” and 2 scientists that travels in the submarines confirmed this, they are populated too but maybe not as much as humans but they indeed exists but not in the shallow waters.
But also swim up to shore once in a while too, the water is their zone so its understandable…There are Creatures of the sea with complex brains close to humans, live longer too, there are creatures of 600 years old in the sea. E.g the cracken, a giant octopus found the pacific
An adult cracken is capable of sinking a ship as big as titanic effortlessly with its arms, but this creatures appears once in a while in a glimpse and sometimes looks like a dream, he said his Norway sailor friend saw one and reported but scientists didn’t believe him…
He explained a zone called the abyss zone, the zone before the challenge deep and after the midnight zone.. the abyss zone has it’s own light rays lol, light from the sun doesn’t get there but mysteriously it has it’s light from God knows where, a scientist he worked with…
Confirmed this also, the light Ray’s is greenish in color and very bright it hasn’t been recorded cuz research are still going on it and researchers left this part out when explaining. If you Google abyss zone, it explains it but they left out the explanation of light rays lol
I told us about the zones right?
Now note that every thing of nature on land is also in the seas. Forest, hills, mountains, even trees are all in the seas too, it’s like a replica of nature and in the trench zone is a forest.
In the challenger zone is the mountains and hills as speculated, and it was noted mermaids and mermans dwell in the challenger zone, morelike as humans climb hills and mountains for sport on land, high chances are mermaids do the replica in the seas too
There are plants in water, only difference is the plants on land aren’t that harmful and gigantic but the plants in the seas are, most are gigantic and you can feel them breathe, they swallow fishes too and def swallows man made objects and boats
In 1994 the brain box of a plane that crashed in the Pacific was obtained from a mini gigantic plant, it had swallowed it but it was retrieved by divers was when they got a proof that plants in waters are swallowed.
More intriguing he told me there are rivers in the sea too.. sounds crazy right? I was confused too till I Google up and marine insight confirmed there are flowing rivers in the sea. Below is a flowing river in the Mexican sea
This river water ph level and characteristics is different from the sea, after research it was confirmed salty sea water didn’t mix with the river and furthermore they are lakes, lagoons etc.. confirming everything of nature on land is also in the sea.
Let’s go upshore… he said somewhere in the Indian Ocean they nicknamed a place “no fear zone” because creatures from the sea swims above and they are ready to look at you eyeball to eyeball, morelike they let you know this is their zone and you dare not try to harm any
Any attempt to hurt one of them they will attack you in packs, he said you can almost feel their lifestyle, feels like a community and they look out for each other, local fisherman don’t even bother go fishing in this zone cuz the piranha fishes in this zone can eat thru metals.
And going by statistics, he said there are over 80 planes crashed in the sea and over 100 ships and boats and by estimation over a billion human skeletons.
And the sea monsters have been regulated by some law of nature not to swim beyond a limit, somehow the water pressure suppresses them, which explains why we barely see any sea monster swim in swallow level but only when they die, the water floats up their corpse.
But he confirmed there are sea monsters and many of them.. he said his ship has been hit by one before, just the tail of the monster hit the ship and there was a great turbulence, a cleaner on the ship saw it and told them.. it was 10 times the size of their ship!
