The Mourinho Thread

Recommended Posts

Ramires may lack the passing vision to make incisive transition,but passing is not the only way to make incisive transition ,he can do it with powerful running and his ability to break up play by dispossesing the opposition and springing counter attacks . The Lamaprd /Ramires goal in the Nou Camp was the greatest evidence of this I can supply.

There was no greater example of transition from defence to attack than this. With Lampards pass being incisive and Ramires powerful run also fitting that category.

and how many times does that happen in every and each of our matches? We aren't counter-attack based - yet or ever is yet to know be known - so a play that happens once in a while doesn't make up for the everyday lack of action from out pivot into making us more objective and narrow.

José Mourinho interview: I want players who are made in Chelsea

"I enjoy playing at home, feeling the Chelsea fans' passion, that they are happy to have me on their side; but I also enjoy playing away and feeling the opponents support their own team, giving me that 'hostility'. It's a 'pure hostility'. It's not aggressive. If Chelsea fans at Norwich are singing: 'José Mourinho', and the other guys sing: 'Fuck off Mourinho', I don't think it's aggressive hostility. It's better than them ignoring me. If, one day, I was Norwich manager, they'd be singing my name too. It's pure. You go, for example, to countries like Spain and when they say: 'Hijo de puta Portugues [Portuguese son of a bitch]', you know it's a deep feeling. A real hatred. They mean it. Here, even the hostility is different. More tongue in cheek. When I'm not winning I'm 'not special any more'. I understand that and I like it."

^ Loved this part from Mourinho, it confirmed how I already perceived his attitude to english fans. We have far more advanced humour than most countries, hence why british comedy has been so innovative & influential, it's a cultural thing that translates to the terraces.

Yeah as you said it's a cultural thing that has to do a lot with education, culture and class.

Similar to USA, where you have the banter in the stadium but tends to be respectful. Not like in Spain where it tends to get way out of hand or Italy.

Another one is Germany. I think in Germany is one of the most respectful culture I seen for a big country.

Mourinho in the last 3 games has turned two points into seven with his subs and proactive thinking.

I know this is stating the obvious, but we are so lucky he has come back, i don't think that can be stated enough.

We are very lucky he brings real determination and love for the club to everyone. If our strikers would just step up we can win this league :)

I think we are getting there as far as strikers are concerned. But goal scoring mids are the new thing.

True. It is a plus for us and will be but it would be good if we can win games as it is without having to go all gung-ho on the opposition every time.
