The Dramatic
music began, a slow , deep roll building to the moment. This was going to be
big. “Where was Mourinho this morning?” asked the presenter of Punto Pelota,
Joseph Pedreol. “This is important”. And then he began. “12 o’clock in the
morning, Mourinho with a bald man in…”, a staged pause and then the answer.
“Ikea!”.
There was a
giggle. “It might sound like a laugh but it’s not,” Pederol noted. On they went
and so did that low roll in the background, building slowly: a map of Ikea in
Alocorcun, south west of Madrid, a huge arrow . The programme had “privileged
information”;this was “important news”. There were photos too although not of
great quality, sent in by viewers or posted on twitter. Mourinho? In Ikea?
“And”, added Pederol gravely, “What was he buying?”.
What indeed?
“Boxes and
masking tapes!”
In total the
programmer said, Madrids coach spent 200 Euros on boxes and packaging. It could
only mean one thing: he was moving out. That return to Chelsea had drawn even
closer. One of the guests on the show was convinced: “If you want to do a move
properly those old cardboard boxes aren’t any good- you have to get them from
Ikea. Mourinho has been in Ikea adverts, incidentally. But that certainly
wasn’t for free. And nor will his arrival at Chelsea be.
