When attending the pre-Portuguese Super League press conference in Benfica vs Porto, Mourinho once again talked to the media about his salary.

"Everyone wants to know how much I earn, how much do you (the reporter) earn? Don't ask me if you don't want to say it. You're too obsessed with numbers, and understanding your neighbor's income seems to be derived from a strong curiosity. As for when we start to achieve better results, maybe we will start winning tomorrow, so football is like that. We are working hard, and I'm not thinking about myself, but about players who deserve to win. When the coach loses, it's also a lot of responsibility, more important than my resume. Come to the experience I have accumulated from winning or losing, the players should be happy, they have not done that yet. I think for the players and the fans, they are really important part of the club. To be honest, I think I am a great coach, I have a very good team, against Chelsea, we have performed quite well, and if we can, we may get different results. But this game is over, we are working hard and waiting to see what we will do next."
