– Chelsea will not have a better manager from me. In the world there are many managers who are at the same level as me, but not better. Not better – in his style even in early October said Mourinho when he explained to reporters after the defeat of his team 1: 3 Southampton.
More than two months later, as the owner of Chelsea Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich could not resist and said “Check”. And even if you can not find a better manager, manager effective enough for him.
For what as then, but effectiveness Portuguese in the current season certainly could not boast. Never in the 127-year history of the English league champions failed to complete so disastrous start of the competition. After 16 rounds Londoners have also appeared barely 15 points and just “eye” above the relegation zone. After nine defeats in 16 games to places that guarantee performances in the Champions League while losing 14 points.
Much it was better in the Champions League, where the Blues without major problems won promotion to the 1/8 finals from the first place in the group. But the game does not kidnapped. To the extent that the draw pairs of the best “sixteen” and hit on a great dispatched PSG, to the west of London zajrzało spectrum say goodbye to the competitions.
In favor of Mourinho since the beginning of the season did not work the staffing situation at the club. It quickly became clear that the policy of transfer Chelsea this summer – including rental of being completely out of shape Radamel Falcao for more than 8 million or 20 million to buy for Abdul Rahman Baba, who has played only four matches in the U-21 team, while sales Petr Cech to Arsenal – failed all along the line. When at the same time the key players of the first team (including Branislav Ivanovic, Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa) lost their form, the Portuguese coach had little room for maneuver.
From the beginning of the competition Mourinho also did everything to spoil its relations with the players. It was completely unnecessary conflict with the very well-liked in the club physiotherapist Eva Carneiro, after which she decided to leave Stamford Bridge. Even then, in August, part of the locker room could not understand the reaction of his manager.
Then he was not better . Undermining the position of John Terry, the living legend of the club, embarrassing behavior in relation to the authorities after the league suspended for three matches for serious foul Diego Costa and a significant cooling of the relationship with the star player Eden Hazard were harbingers of impending disaster. Epilogue watched Monday night after exit losing 1: 2 with the revelation of the season – Leicester City.
– I feel as if betrayed my job – fired Mourinho, complaining that his players have not fulfilled their pre-match tactical assumptions. It is these words, more than the result, could compromise the future, “Mou” at Stamford Bridge. It showed that the atmosphere in the locker room is a tomb, and between coach and players for a long time there is no “chemistry”. On the other hand Mourinho in his style began to stand out from getting worse game and getting weaker performance of the team.
The effect is so that the Portuguese once again in his career had not spent the run by yourself the team more than three seasons. Once again it was confirmed that the first season of his performance is a festival of trial and error, the second is a world championship, and the third a disaster.
Portuguese can love or hate, but the longer it is on the football market, the more it appears that a product with a limited shelf life date. After its expiration just no way to swallow it. Twice she saw the Chelsea and Real Madrid again. The atmosphere at parting in each case was similar – disastrous results and even worse atmosphere in the locker room.
Except that any club that decides to hire Mourinho embraces him with the benefit of inventory. With the mentality of winners and crudeness language with analytical skills and a difficult character.
When the Portuguese came at Stamford Bridge for the first time, more than a decade ago, he called himself “The Special One”. When he returned to the English capital 2.5 years ago, he called himself “The Happy One”. Now we all ask ourselves the question, what to say, when will visit to London for the third time. Because it can not be ruled out, and Portuguese never know. As he once said – one day return to Chelsea? Why not?
