He has won it all.
He is one of the best coaches in the history of football.
He knows how to win games.
But, Jose Mourinho is one of the most hated names in football.
He has had problems with coaches of other teams, players of other teams, players of
his own team, and even the team’s doctor.
This isn't common in football.
Why is he like this?
What is Mourinho’s Problem?
Goal 90 brings you the REASON behind this.
But before we get started, make sure to subscribe, along with the bell icon.
Now without any further ado, let’s get right into it.
At Number 1:
Jose Mourinho is Result Oriented
Jose Mourinho is a Winner.
He hates losing.
And sometimes he gets lost in the process of obtaining that result, that we see him
doing things that none other managers would do.
During his time at Inter Milan, he had to face Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in the champions
league.
Intermilan were in the lead with 1 goal.
But Intermilan went down to 10 men after a red card.
This decision did mean that Barcelona were now the favourites to win the match.
Pep then called Zlatan to talk tactics before substitution.
That's when Jose Mourinho did the unthinkable.
He went over to listen to the conversation.
He even said something to Guardiola.
“I went up to him and said: Don’t just start celebrating yet, because the match isn’t
over”.
Wow, crazy isn’t it?
The next incident is when he was at Chelsea in 2015.
When Eden Hazard went down in the middle of the game, the team doctor had to intervene.
Because Chelsea had a red card, Mourinho didn't want Hazard to come off the field for treatment.
But the team doctor Eva Carneiro decided to take matters into her hands and treat Hazard.
But mourino completely lost it.
He was so enraged with his doctor that he insulted her violently from the sidelines.
During his time at Real Madrid, he would do anything to beat Pep’s Barcelona.
He’d provoke Guardiola with his press conference talks.
The real madrid side of that era were the most violent ones of all time.
He didn’t care how he won it, but he just had to win it.
Because Jose Mourinho is a WINNER.
At Number 2:
He wants top performances from his players
If we are to look at the history of the players that Jose Mourinho had a problem with, we
can track that he has had tussles with the best players at the club.
Zlatan at Inter Milan, Paul Pogba and Rooney at Manchester United, Dele Alli at Tottenham
and Samuel Eto at Chelsea.
But why?
Why would any manager have problems with the best players of their team?
During his time at Tottenham, he noticed that Dele Ali could do more.
But he noticed that Dele was very lazy.
So he called Dele, and told him what he wanted from
him.
He wanted more from Dele.
Dele Alli even showed it in his performances.
He performed very well with Mourinho as the manager.
But, Mourinho wanted even more.
He could see that Dele could do more.
But, Dele couldn’t take this pressure anymore.
The pressure gets mentally challenging.
Similar incidents took place at Manchester United with Luke Shaw.
During his time at Inter Milan, he had Zlatan Ibrahimovich on his team.
Zlatan was tired and wanted substitution in the match.
He signalled Mourino to take him off the pitch.
But, Mourinho knew that Zlatan could do more.
So he decided to push him during this match.
Mourinho made other substitutions, just to provoke Zlatan.
He even substituted the goal keeper.
This is how he challenged Ibrahimovich.
And Ibrahimovich ultimately scored a goal.
Mourinho has his own ways of getting the best out of his players.
But it gets mentally challenging sometimes.
So some players make it through and some don’t.
At Number 3:
Unconventional Management Skills:
Most of the managers in football today were Football Players in the past.
Pep Guardiola was a player at Barcelona.
Johan Cruyff was a legend at both Barcelona and Ajax.
Andrea Pirlo was a world class footballer at Juventus.
But Mourinho had a completely different path.
Mourinho came in as an Assistant Translator for Bobby Robson at Barcelona.
But, this translator was different.
He wasn’t an ordinary translator.
He would translate Bobby Robson during the press conference, but he would translate it
in even more detail, with incisive tactics and more.
This way Bobby Robson trusted him even more and asked him to scout teams and included
him in the technical side of the game.
From then on Mourinho climbed the managerial ladder and became the coach he is today.
Being from the Non Footballing background Jose has his own unconventional skill of managing
the game and his players.
He is never afraid to take the risk at any point of time in the game.
Whether it's the risk is in terms of players or formations.
There have been cases where he has subbed a player in the first half or has changed
the formation at the earliest in order to suit the need of the hour.
During his time at tottenham he substituted Erik Dier early on in the game to help tottenham
get the result.
He doesn't follow the rule book as in the case of which most managers of his age do.
At Number 4:
His ego: Needless to say, we have seen this in the
past.
You don't want to have problems with Jose Mourino.
He has had a very successful career.
So he has a very huge ego too.
We know about the tussle between Pogba and Jose Mourinho.
Pogba was taken off the captaincy and sidelined by Mourinho.
But, poor Pogba had done nothing wrong.
He had posted this during a Match at Old trafford.
Of Course Pogba was out due to his injury.
Manchester United lost the match and later Mourinho saw the instagram story.
Mourinho thought Pogba posted it after the match.
Later, it was proved that Pogba posted it during the Match before they were trailing
behind.
But this is when Mournho’s ego came into play.
He wouldn’t talk to Pogba and the Frenchman was sidelined.
But, At the end of the day Jose Mourinho has written history in Football.
He is one of the greatest managers in football's history.
He has shut the critics and proved everyone wrong multiple times.
Players who have played under him know his positive sides and how much Mourino unites
a team and brings the best out of them.
