José Morais, assistant coach at Inter Milan, is dining at the “Il Gatto Nero” restaurant overlooking Lake Como. The restaurant owner, Fausto, brings a photo album to the table and shows snap-shots of famous guests.
“-Klinsmann, Matthaus, Rummenigge, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Britney Spears, Alanis Morisette, George Clooney, Avril Lavigne…
José points to a picture of Mourinho.
-Ah, Mister!
Fausto nods, turns the page and points to another picture.
-Blanc.
José bends forward. He doesn’t recognize the old French central defender. Then Fausto corrects himself.
-No, no, no. I was wrong. That’s Cliff Richard.”

Cliff Richard?
Laurent Blanc?
