Jose pretended not to understand Ibra

Ibrahimovic had opened in the scoring in the 12th minute and that strike would have left him level with Bologna’s Marco Di Vaio and Genoa’s Diego Milito on 24 goals.
As the game was drawing to a close, fellow Inter striker Mario Balotelli decided to take a shot rather than play in Ibrahimovic.

Mourinho continued: “He was very angry and upset as he came at me. He was shouting: ‘We are champions! I helped a lot to make you champions, now nobody’s helping me. I want to go out now. I want to go out!’
“But I pretended not to understand him. I pretended I couldn’t tell what he was saying. I said, ‘What? What? Do you want a drink? Do you want some water?’ and I threw him a bottle. I told him: ‘Here, take a drink and go.’
“And a few minutes later he scored a beautiful goal, one of those backheels of his that he often scores. We won the game and he was the top scorer in the league -- 25 goals I think -- so he was happy in the end.”

Somehow, I can't picture or imagine Lionel Messi going at his coach like that... or even Suarez

... as Zlatan made us all aware, Barca is built around Messi and players will be pushed out to accommodate Messi.

I recall a Liverpool game, in which they had the points wrapped up, Suarez was wide open and Sturridge tried to score, when the logical move was to give Suarez the ball. Suarez was furious, Rogers subbed Sturridge immediately.

I think I know which game you are talking about and if memory served, the manager was right to do that but not because Suarez was vex, Sturridge I believe had an England game coming up.
