The tears, and Mourinho's account 15 years later, tell a different, more sentimental tale."I ran away - I went to the bus to say goodbye, and I didn't even shake one hand," Mourinho says."I wanted to escape.

"I think the emotion would stop me to go."But I wanted to go. I thought it was the right moment. I had to escape.
"Marco was there. If instead of Marco it was Dejan Stankovic, or Diego Milito or Julio Cesar, it would have been the same story."

The area's county councillor said the trial would be carefully monitored by the community, to see what impact it had on traffic through the village over the summer."We have to try something, and this is the first step of many I hope," said Mr Jones.
An official for Anglesey council said it would be enforcing existing parking restrictions in the village itself and the surrounding areas over the holiday weekend."In addition, we'll ask the public for their support by parking responsibly and safely and asking them to take the needs of the local community into account," they added.
