Cronky Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'm in the process of reading the book about his time at Madrid, and some of his behaviour when under pressure or facing defeat was quite bizarre. There could well be parallels here. A lot of his behaviour reminded me of the stories about Brian Clough. Both went in for a lot of psychological manipulation, where they'd do anything to generate strong emotion in the players, with it be positive motivation to live up to praise, or negative emotion to prove him wrong. A lot of what they said, in public or private, was rubbish but designed to produce an effect. Their success can't be denied, but you wonder whether certain problems come in the wake of those methods. Eventually some players might get fed up with it, or that it has less effect with familiarity. There's also the potential problem of Mourinho losing his grip, and his becoming unable to distinguish between theatre that he creates and reality. Of course it may be simpler, and after all the success he simply can't deal with being number 2. He couldn't cope with Barca, and it looks like he's struggling to cope with Man City.

The College Dropout Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Disagree that he wasn't able to cope with Barca. IMO he "beat" Pep mentally, Pep took a sabbatical. He won the La Liga in Pep's last season. Jose won. The problem was that it was over. The enemy had been defeated. Us vs. them was no more. Nothing else to fight. Ended fighting his own players.

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He didn't "beat" Pep ffs, he was always leaving at that time, it's not like be ran away from Mourinho or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Oh no doubt, but the idea he broke him or that he wasn't completely dominated during those years is bogus. Pep was weird that season though, experimenting with shit that made no sense like some 343 diamond with Pique being the only CB and Xavi, Thiago, Fabregas and Iniesta being a narrow 4 He does that now as well tbh, but in Germany you get away with it naturally. Still though Madrid were awesome that year, absolutely no doubt about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I still believe Jose took winning La Liga and Pep leaving as a gigantic win. He didn't create that us vs them spirit in his 3rd RM season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I really like him. He's an obsessive winner and does and says shit only he can really answer for or explain but it's all about his obsession with being great and remembered forever - be it for better or worse. He loves himself far too much for many people's liking and says some awful things about people or his opponents but he's one of my favorites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
