Mourinho jibes irk Maldini

AC Milan defender Paolo Maldini has responded angrily to Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho's claims that the Rossoneri will win nothing this season.
The veteran defender is eager to remind the Inter coach that he is yet to win a single Scudetto, when Maldini already has five.
The comment came as a response to a swipe from the Portuguese, who has made enemies of many Serie A managers including Luciano Spalletti of Roma, Claudio Ranieri of Juventus and Milan's Carlo Ancelotti.
"It doesn't matter that Milan have so many players with a winning mentality, this season they will finish with no trophies," Mourinho said after the Coppa Italia clash with Sampdoria.
"And Juventus only find themselves in such a good position due to refereeing errors."
Maldini rarely shies away from the media spotlight and replied: "I don't want to trade insults with Mourinho, but he really can't make these claims until he wins something for Inter himself.
"As far as I know, he is discussing something which he has a chance of winning, but which I have already won five times."
Yet Maldini's final season for the Rossoneri before retiring does look set to end without any silverware.
The 40-year-old defender's team were eliminated from the UEFA Cup by Werder Bremen and the club are 12 points behind Mourinho's men in the Serie A table.
