Or is it Buffon, Casillas, Kahn who alone top half of the team's goalkeepers?
Or are Robben and Ribery such fast horses on the wing?
Yaya Toure, Vieira's black and hard beast waist?
In fact, whether it is a striker, midfielder, defender or goalkeeper, the 11 people running on the green field can be called soldiers, and what directs these soldiers is the core brain of the team - the head coach.
As the saying goes, a soldier will bear a nest. The army has a style, or raids, or field, or attack, etc., and the team also has a style, and it is the head coach who imprints the style of the team.
In the coaches, some coaches like to attack and defend all, some are keen on passing control, some play toughly, hold high and play, and some teach according to their aptitude and watch the dishes. And the coach we are going to talk about today, in the name of confidence and even arrogance, well versed in the name of defensive counterattack, his tactical essence is defensive counterattack, people who like him say it is defensive counterattack, and people who black him are called "swinging bus" such stigma.
He is the "most special one" - José Mourinho.
The most special one
There is no doubt that Mourinho is one of the greatest coaches in the world, extremely influential and appealing, and at the same time the most controversial coach, those who love him miss him immensely, hate him but hate him to the bone, according to the current buzzword, that is self-traffic.
Mourinho, a Portuguese born in 1963, was previously a translator who speaks Portuguese, German, English, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and other eight Chinese, and is a veritable linguistic genius.
Generally speaking, excellent coaches are those who have experienced a long career as professional athletes before entering the coaching position. However, Mourinho took a different approach, starting as a coach translator and later becoming a world-class manager.
In 1992, Bobby Robson, former England star and former manager of the England national team, became manager of Sporting Lisbon. Mourinho, who knows both English and football, became Robson's translator and later Robson's translator and assistant. Robson managed Porto from 1994 to 1996, from which Mourinho learned some tactical ideas.
He is the only mentor Mourinho acknowledges
In the 1996/1997 season, with Bobby Robson's move to Barcelona in La Liga, Mourinho, who was deeply used by Bobby Robson, also accompanied him to Spain. At Barcelona, Mourinho added his own tactics from time to time when translating. In 1996, Bobby Robson left Barcelona for PSV Eindhoven, and Mourinho continued to serve as deputy to the new Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, where he worked for three years as a translator and assistant coach, from whom he learned a lot of advanced modern football theory and laid a solid foundation for his future coaching career. Perhaps even he did not expect that in the days to come, he would be able to achieve what he is today.
Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal
During his coaching career, Jose Mourinho won the best coach in the Portuguese Premier League, Premier League, Serie A and La Liga, and he is also considered one of the most successful coaches in football today. He has lifted the Champions League twice in his coaching career, leading Porto to the trophy in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.
Tactical style
Unlike the bus tactic of only defending and not counterattacking, his defense is based on a solid defense, quickly passing through the midfield, sharp counterattack, and giving the opponent a fatal blow.
His team's tactics are very direct, and he does not drag the mud;
It is always so simple and efficient, and it seals the throat with a sword;
Never one-sidedly pursue useless ball control, and pursue the most direct way to win, that is the mark of the times.
The essence of Mourinho is to compress space, the offensive and defensive conversion is very fast, the team can be understood as a spring that constantly presses down more and more densely, it is necessary to sacrifice part of the individual free play, the state of no ball is more terrible than having the ball, and then quickly out of the ball, when Real Madrid is formed, it only takes 5 seconds to score from the backfield to the front!!!
A collection of contradictions where victory and controversy coexist
This arrogant, casual, ego, keen person has a domineering attitude that many managers do not have, and is a complete outlier in the head coach, but it is precisely because of this that it can impress the fans more. The team he led has played in the three top leagues of the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga, and the brilliant record of the magic bird has long proved that he is right.
Porto hired Jose Mourinho in 2002 and finished in the top three that year to qualify for the UEFA Cup. The following year, Jose Mourinho led the team to league titles, Portuguese Cups, and UEFA Cups. In the third year, he won the league title, the Portuguese Cup runner-up, and defeated France's Monaco 3-0 in the final of the Champions League to win the Champions League. With such a brilliant score, Mourinho began to become one of the best coaches in the world at the age of 41.
Miracle of Porto 2004
Mourinho, who achieved extraordinary achievements at a young age, was soon poached by local tycoon Abou, and in June 2004 Mourinho moved to England to take over Chelsea's coach. At that time, the Premier League championship was basically monopolized by Manchester United and Arsenal, but after Mourinho took office, he led Chelsea to win the Premier League title that season and set an English top-flight championship scoring record with 95 points. In the second season, Mourinho was even more invincible and successfully defended his title far behind other opponents.
Speaking of Mourinho, there is definitely one word mentioned - "three years of Mourinho". Arrogant and unruly, he can easily offend people, whether it is the owner, the players, or even the team doctor...
In his third season at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho sacked Jose Mourinho after drawing with an obscure side in the Champions League after drawing with an obscure team in the Champions League.
In September 2007, Chelsea officially announced the peaceful termination of Jose Mourinho's contract. In June of the following year, Inter Milan announced the arrival of José Mourinho at the club.
At Inter Milan, the legendary era belonging to Jose Mourinho began.
During his two years in Italy, Jose Mourinho led Inter to all the Italian trophies, helped Inter get back to the top of Europe after 45 years, and created the first treble in Italian football history - the Coppa Italia, Serie A and the European Cup.
Two years, five championships! Mourinho, full of honor, decided to challenge himself again, this time choosing the Galaxy battleship Real Madrid. On 29 May 2010, Real Madrid officially announced Jose Mourinho as the new manager. On the 31st, Mourinho officially visited the Bernabeu Stadium and announced his appointment as the new manager of the club. During his three years at Real Madrid, Mourinho led the team to win one La Liga title, one Copa del Rey and one Spanish Super Cup.
After that, he fell into the strange circle of Mu for three years, and in the third year, Mourinho was too tough to oppose the entire Real Madrid dressing room, and finally Real Madrid president Florentino reluctantly fired the coach.
Again take the blue army whip
On the evening of 3 June 2013, Chelsea officially announced Jose Mourinho's return to the Blues whip, and after six years, Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge. And the second entry of the coach into the palace, except for Chelsea's re-win of the league title in the 14/15 season, did not have any brilliant results, but put the madman in an even bigger quagmire. Mourinho constantly blamed the players, complained about the FA and bombarded the referee on and off the pitch, which also caused him to gradually lose control of the dressing room and the trust of the club's senior management, and finally at the end of 2015, Chelsea officially announced that Mourinho was out of class, another three years.
In May 2016, Manchester United announced Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager through its official website on Friday, and the madman officially joined the Red Devils Manchester United.
In the first season led by Madman, relying on Ibrahimovic's supernatural play, he brought the team the "mini treble" of Community Shield + League Cup + Europa League. If Mourinho is evaluated from the consequentialism, the madman has reached the mark.
You know, since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, Manchester United has fallen into a bottomless quagmire, and the changes of various famous managers are like horse lamps, and finally failed to complete the task of rebuilding Manchester United. And with Jose Mourinho's official arrival, many are looking to him to build his dynasty at Manchester United and take Manchester United to another level.
In the second season, although the boss adjusted in attack, the central axis built by the heavy investment did not bring a breakthrough in results, and finally fell into a big four. In the third year, Mourinho once again fell into the strange circle of Mu for three years, all kinds of unspoken speeches and friction and unpleasantness with players and team management, and Pogba, Martial, warm-up games continued to decline... It eventually led to his dismissal.
On 20 November 2019, Jose Mourinho replaced Pochettino, who had a poor record, as Tottenham Hotspur manager. This is Mourinho's dormant target for a while since Manchester United's "Waterloo".
Tottenham, who are the runners-up in the Champions League, have suffered defeats all the way in various competitions, and manager Mauricio Pochettino has been dismissed. Tottenham needed a manager who was familiar with the Premier League, plug-and-play, had the prestige to hold the big names, and could move quickly and unambiguously, and Jose Mourinho was the best choice at the time.
After nearly 1 year of tuning, Tottenham's current form is still not very stable, and last season they were eliminated by Red Bull in the Champions League, ranked sixth in the league, and need to play the Europa League play-offs.
Losing to Carlo Ancelotti's Everton in the first round of the new season, beating Southampton 5-2 in the second round, and beating their opponents in the Europa League, now the return of the former fast Ma Gareth Bale to Tottenham Hotspur, the return of the Great Saint will bring more changes to the manager's tactics.
He is a madman, he is a magic bird, from Barca translation to standing at the top of the world, Mourinho will always be the special one.
