The Mourinho Thread


 Share

Recommended Posts

It'll be interesting to see how Mourinho uses Ronaldo tonight at Old Trafford. Hopefully Old Trafford's wider pitch and also the fact that Man United will push forwards more often (and will have more spells of possession) might result in him being able to use his pace more in Madrid's notorious counterattacks!

It would good to start Higuin or Callejon (How did Benzema do in the previous Classico? Apart from scoring.) because that way Ronaldo will be able to swap positions with Callejon and Higuan from LAM to CF (because Higuan and Callejon do well in LAM).

Has this strategy ever been used? I believe this was something they were talking about in the Euros bcoz Portugal didn't have a quality CF they said that Ronaldo could play at CF since he would use less energy in cutting inside and could straight away strike at goal. Maybe if they play Ronaldo at CF they could also try Ozil out wide and play Modric at CAM. What do u think?

Or Fail and he gets a boot!!! :ph34r:

Of course. They lost the League title before the winter break which is embarrassing. If they go out tonight then this season will have been an utter failure for the most expensively assembled squad in history and the most well paid manager in the game.

No offence, but people who think he'll take over at United I feel don't know his character too well. He wants to be considered THE best. He would certainly not have the same time & resources that SaF has had at Manchester United, so he'll always be 2nd-best manager in their history if he goes there. He's our best manager ever. Porto's best manager ever. (I think) Inter's best manager ever. And he had every chance and intention on becoming Real Madrid's best manager ever. If he was to 'follow in the footsteps' of one of the greatest instead of going head-on against him, it would be completely out of nature and possibly damaging to his career on reflection when people consider the all-time greats.

This is why I see it being us or Manchester City. (C'mon, he won't go to PSG! Not for the next half-a-decade at least. He has more ambition than that.)
