Happy Birthday Jose Mourinho !

 I hated Jose when he was at United. Despite him winning three cups for us and that is the last trophies we have had in the past 5 years. I wished he was never at united! I got triggered when he said, “The highest achievement that he has ever done is to get second place with Man United”. A manager who won the treble twice with Porto and Inter Milan claimed that the highest achievement he has ever had is to get second place with us. He has got some nerve, I thought. 


As the proverb goes “You won't know the value of the product until it leaves you”. Once he left, everything got exposed. Yes, loved every bit of what Ole was then doing but the amount of mess that Jose left with us has irked me. Slowly the players started to throw Ole under the bus too! This is the moment, this very moment I fell in love with Jose!

The accolades that he has got in his past are insane. He won the treble with Porto out of nowhere! Did a surprising turnover at inter Milan. Winning Pep’s Barca at his home ground and doing the iconic celebration with all of his players at camp nou! If thug life is an art, Mourinho would be the Picasso of it. After Inter Milan, the biggest club in the world offered the role to him and asked him to build a squad. Everyone thought he is gonna fail miserably, with the then-young team consisting of Ronaldo, Ozil, Benzema, Ramos, Pepe, and Casilla. No one thought Mourinho could create such monstrous players.

The different styles of plays that he has equipped to adapt himself to each team he has managed in insane. With inter they are so good at defensive transition” The second “they lose the ball they win it back in a minute”. With Real Madrid, the offensive transition. “The second they won the ball where it was on the pitch you could see 5-7 players running towards the goal with full speed screaming their lungs off for the pass”. With United, he had a team of literally championship players, the likes of jones, smalling, young, and valencia in their 30s, and being the heart of the defense, he came out on top by winning 3 cups with these 4 at the defense.

Premiere league was known for playing with 4-4-2, he came and introduced 4-3-3 and won the league in his very first season with Chelsea. Which resulted in the 19 other teams having to adapt to 4-3-3. If this is not conquering the league, making every single team fear you, Those press meet he used to give is nothing but dramatic laughter. He is the manager with more glories in his CV and the main aspect of that is he has won at least one trophy where he managed for a full season. Tottenham would have ended their trophy drought after Mourinho got them to the EFL cup finals. But Spurs being Spurs decided to sack them before finals!

Jose Mourinho, Undisputed and one of the greatest. It's sad that he has to manage some mid-table club nowadays after failing to adapt to modern-day football. Yet, he has won a trophy with AS Roma in Italy. A very Happy Birthday to you my King!

Manchester United : Erik Ten Haag

Since the sacking of ole, the Manchester United fan base was divided into two wanting either Erik Ten Haag or Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager. A few weeks later and after all the negotiations, Manchester United officially announce Erik Ten Haag as their successive manager and has signed a contract for a 4-year deal. This is the first time the club has offered more than 3 year deal to a manager post Ferguson.  Many of the online fans wanted Erik as their new manager whilst almost all the ex-united players wanting Pochettino. Even the great man himself wanted Pochettino to take the hot seat. But, it was Ralf Ragnick who persuaded the board and choose Erik.

Pep Guardiola: Yet another UCL loss

Pep Guardiola and UCL Defeat:  Pep's Manchester City suffered yet another UCL defeat yesterday night against Chelsea. Pep is known for his spending and not achieving the European championship. Many believed that Pep is gonna win a UCL after lastly having it with Barcelona in 2011. After leaving Barcelona he suffered 3 semi-final defeat with Bayern Munich, 3 quarter-final defeat and one final defeat with manchester city. In the span of 5 years with the city he spent over 800 million on players seeing a net spend of 750 million and yet to achieve the European glory.  The reason why he lost yesterday's night final against Chelsea is, starting sterling and leaving Fernandinho/Rodri on the bench. he anticipated that Chelsea is gonna be underdogs and play for a counter-attack styled play with their pacey attack. This style of play made him think that he would need another attacking player to support the attack and breach Chelsea's defence. What he did not expect was the DM is the...
