For the first time since 2000, and his arrival at Benfica, Mourinho looked exhausted. During his last press conference, Tuesday, December 15, he even pointed in his remarks a considerable amount of weariness. Overwhelmed by guilty indolence of his players, by the insistence and sarcasm of too greedy press, so he gave himself the diagnostic trouble which he suffered.
“ I worked for four days this match” – both in video and tactical preparation (the sessions are designed based on its analysis of the rival movements that will be used to counter) -. “ my players got all the information and have it trained during the last three days I have identified four movements with which they ( Leicester) nearly all their goals They marked. are good enough, they listened well, at least I think, though all errors are there. “ So why did they do nothing?
The best defense
Paco Seirul-lo, great fitness coach Barça Pep Guardiola, it is often said that in his own way to defend that measure the fitness of a team. This is when you must make the extra effort to immediately jump into the laundry, its collective order to curb the rapid rise of rival, we distinguish which of the eleven who no longer believes that will soon be engulfed.

In the reagent Football Mourinho made rapid transitions attack-defense or defense-attack, cognitive mobilization of his players during the game phase changes is essential because it is what will set the standard of proof required for the full implementation of the common goal: the recovery of the ball. If the attacker does not fall fast enough, if the midfielder will not immediately exercise the necessary compensation, the defense may well stretch, it will defend something bigger. This is the art of good decision that is specifically instilled by Jose Mourinho and who had previously originality of his method.
Yet it is in this area that the “work” of Jose was “betrayed” Tuesday night. The first goal Vardy, Oscar jumps anyhow on a ball bell, Azpilicueta “press” (to 1.50m) to prevent his rival to center while Zouma and John Terry are well mine have nothing have made the penalty spot. Also, the second of Leicester would not have occurred if Courtois had waited one tenth of a second and took the ball in hand rather than attempt an intervention by the head mingled panic improvisation in a situation – three defenders against one striker – who was far from unique in his life experienced goalkeeper.
He is not here to criticize invisible and no doubt honorable intentions of different actors but understand that if Mourinho was “ betrayed” – those are her words – is that his fate was sealed by a succession of spectacular non-decisions. If Jose was betrayed, it is the most unreadable path that is: his.

What you should at Special One
We appeared one day in June 2004 on the roof of Europe by self-proclaiming Special taking the risk of being judged forever in the light of this reckless statement. Its methodology, combining one side recent gains in cognitive science – the science of human motor – with tactical intelligence and sense of observation seasoned by years of supervision on behalf of others, had a PE teacher suburb of Lisbon, the model of the coach of the new century.
Jose was given at a time when coaches were still wearing glasses and tracksuits, hid behind the microphones and never dared to step over a single line of touch. Remember, at that time nobody listened to their press conference. Mourinho turned to splinters strength and intelligence, this austere preparer profession by offering dramatic thickness of the explorer of the modern world. We forgave him easily, and even a smile accomplice, generalized confrontation he built in the same time management method. He had found the philosopher’s stone, he deserved our admiration.

Old and Modern
Until the day when the world discovered another way to do it. With Barca Pep, his Bayern, the team of Luis Enrique, Juve Allegri, Blanc de Paris-Saint-Germain and Real Madrid Ancelotti, the 2010s proved that we could all at once please, be polite, modern and win every time. If football has changed since 2004 is that it has gone through a brutal tactic revolution. It is no longer matter to advocate the benefits of a mysterious methodology when it has become the common lot of all great teams.
Moreover, we can no longer offer either a reactive football as mere idea of the game when the time calls together good taste and the ball possession as a method of government. The appearance of Pep Guardiola was a cataclysm for José Mourinho, who not only took the shape and sound of a historic slap (5-0 November 2011) inflicted on his Real Madrid but the blackness of a task increasingly visible coming month after month obscure its most modern coach reputation in the world.
The feeling remains that the day of his second dismissal of Chelsea is that of a painful mourning to do, but largely predictable. We had thought but we were wrong. José was not the first of the moderns. He was the last of the ancients.
