The Mourinho Thread

Bruce Lee Mourinho

"You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend."

-Bruce Lee

"…I’m happy with everything because, in this moment, our team is able to adapt to everything. What the game gives us, we can cope with it. We are not this kind of — I don’t know if this is the right word but — fundamentalist team, that plays only the same way, does the same thing. We can play in different ways, we can adapt to different situations…"

-Jose Mourinho

We are water, friends. We are water

Strange that Sun is the only media outlet that is criticizing le voyeur. Most talking heads here in the States are praising wenger or laughing at the whole situation. Also what I am finding troubling is the fact no one is talking about Sanchez's challenge on Courtois. I thought it was late & the ref failed to protect the keeper. To Jose's credit he didn't have a go at the ref, but he could have.

Loved Wengers dramatics at the weekend, Mourinho really has got to him. Superb.

Chelsea at United will be such an interesting match. It's amazing how our system is Taylor-made to play against them

[Chelsea? 892]

it's kinda sad how Jose bullies Wenger. Wenger legitimately upset when he speaks of Jose and Jose just seems to be poking fun at Wenger.

He is a class act!

[Victor Von Doom 258]

Just the mere thought of Jose probably gives Wenger sleepless nights.

The Science of Scouting: Dangers of misinterpretation

This is bit is something I've mentioned a few times myself:

“Passes are a classic one,” adds Mackenzie. “You’ll go on your Twitter feed and people will be telling you that this guy has completed 50 passes. That’s all well and good but for a holding midfielder who gets the ball off the back four that’s what I’d expect. The real question is what is he doing with the ball? How penetrative is he being?

Ibrahimovic said: "Mourinho is very intelligent.

"He doesn’t treat everybody the same. He knows how to treat people as individuals and to get 100 per cent out of them."

In his revealing interview with the The Guardian, Ibrahimovic was asked if Mourinho was the most intelligent manager he’s ever worked under, he retorted: "Yes. In the way he approaches players and – ‘manipulates’ is the wrong word – gets them very pumped up? No doubt."
