What has Mourinho achieved in his career as a player?

Although Mourinho, as the head coach, has made enviable achievements, Mourinho was a "capable" but "a little lazy" player in the eyes of his teammates when he was a player. Marcus Alves of the Stand Report tells the story of Mourinho. "Does anyone know where Mourinho plays? If you don't know, don't blame me for being abrupt. I guess Mourinho should be the goalkeeper. " 1 At the beginning, when Liverpool manager klopp was asked who was better than/klock -0/ in his football career, the German manager racked his brains but couldn't give a proper answer. In fact, klopp seems so sincere to know what role his Portuguese opponent played in the gamer era that he asked reporters to do what everyone would do in this situation: go to Google.

"Come on, I want to know the answer now. Google one！” When the reporters said that they didn't have time to search this matter, klopp responded with a funny expression. He insisted: "I have this time!" Finally, after an efficient search, the German coach was told that Mourinho was a midfielder, not a goalkeeper. Klopp may have such a misunderstanding because his father Mourinho is a talented goalkeeper and even has a record of playing for the Portuguese national team.

57-year-old Mourinho can become the focus of media attention wherever he appears, but Mourinho, who was playing football on the court at that time, never enjoyed it. The young attacking midfielder from setubal is always considered weak in the confrontation. Although he used to wear 10 jersey, he never became famous on the court. 19811982 season, Mourinho played for Leo Vias coached by his father, but only got one chance to play. When Mourinho realized that he might have no future as a player, he decided to retire at the age of 24 and start his coaching career.

Mourinho's career as a player is a topic that few people care about, but his failed career has more or less become his burden. When Mourinho has an argument with other managers, opponents will use this to attack him. Former Porto legend Jamie Pacheco made a famous remark at a press conference in 2007: "I congratulate Mourinho on winning the championship, but I did it as a player before he led the team to win the championship. Maybe this is a huge setback for him, because he will never be the player I used to be. "

Others, such as Inter Milan coach Kong Di, have made similar remarks. 20 16 coached Chelsea and Mourinho coached Manchester United. Later, Kong Di told Sky Sports Italia: "I am a player, so I know how to perform on the court." This war of words seems to be completely different from the media attention given by Mourinho in the game-the media attention seems to be just an interview with only three questions, and there is nothing else at all. Maybe one day, when Mourinho recalls his struggle as a player, he may recall other things.

Yes 1982,165438+1October 7th. A storm hit Portugal, and many cities were hit by storms with a speed exceeding 100 km per hour. There were still many Portuguese Cup matches to be played that weekend, but because of the bad weather, one game was postponed and the other seven games were interrupted. However, in Lisbon, 3,000 brave fans went to the Restolo Stadium to watch the home team Belé nse play against the semi-amateur team from Azores, Villafranca Dokamp. By the end of half-time, the score had reached 8-0. The coach of Belem/klock replaced Portuguese international Dior 0-0, giving his son a chance to show his talents in front of the audience. Obviously, Mourinho failed his father's kindness.

The 19-year-old player scored a goal in the 48th minute of the game. 10 minutes later, he scored the second goal. Eight minutes later, he scored a hat trick. In the end, Berenzes defeated his opponent with a score of 17-0-but people paid attention to this game not because it was the biggest victory in Berenzes' history, but because Mourinho scored a hat trick in this game and helped the team eliminate the opponent. In an interview with the Stand Report, Dior said: "Mourinho must have learned to swim that weekend. It rained heavily and he did well. Playing football around him is a pleasure-he has good control of the ball and strong one-on-one breakthrough ability. We are a very young team, full of ambition and vitality. "

Mourinho, who is not widely believed, has not shown any talent as a player. From the mouth of old teammates, we can know that Mourinho is a player with great potential, but he lacks the desire and idea to promote him to another level. Bater brito, once a teammate of /klock-0, later served as an assistant coach in raila, Porto and Chelsea. He said: "He is an attacking midfielder and often moves behind the defender. He is very capable, but he may have other plans for life-his mother is a teacher and his father is a coach. Our impression is that football is like a hobby for him. Although he likes playing football, he is a little lazy and doesn't work hard. He did what he had to do, that's all. He doesn't do it anymore. Mourinho wants to live a relaxed life and put the ball under his feet. He showed no desire to be a top athlete. Maybe that's why he didn't become a better player. "

At that time, one of the smartest young players in the team was Joao Yusbio in the back-he was about the same age as/klock -0/- and he told the Stand Report: "In my opinion,/klock -0// is above average in midfield. He can pass the ball well, get rid of the pressure from his opponent and read the game well, but the speed is not fast. We can say that he is a' thinker' and he has his own game style. Mourinho's biggest problem is lack of competitiveness. He doesn't have the passion that a good player needs. He seems to have different goals from others. "

198 1 After graduating from high school, Mourinho tried to enter the university immediately to study for a degree in physical education, but was rejected because of his poor math performance. Later, he decided to follow his father to Livia to make full use of this rare experience. Mourinho's teammates soon realized that he was more than just the coach's son. Although he is not very old, he actually has some influence on his father's work and is even considered as an informal assistant coach. Joao Yusbio said: "Whenever we find something unusual in training, we usually say Mourinho, not the head coach. Obviously, he was particularly interested in this sport from the beginning. "

Bater brito added: "I don't think he came to Livia to play football. He wants to spend some time in the Portuguese League team, learn something from this experience, and spend some time when the university plan is put on hold. He doesn't want to have a place in the team. He doesn't have that ambition. He told me about those days and told me that he used to watch opponents' games and write scout reports. "Although Mourinho's performance in other teams will cause internal friction, it has never been a problem in Livia. Joao Ubio recalled: "I really appreciated what he did, because I dare say that he made a revolutionary move at that time. He helped the team develop in a good direction, especially for young players. "At that time, some things had to follow tradition: for example, we had to shine shoes for old players. He was the first person to question this. "

"Mourinho is a natural leader and we all know what he means. He respects everyone, has a sense of humor and never shows superiority. In the eyes of former teammates, Mourinho is a natural leader. This is not to say that Mourinho will not participate in the training of his own team in order to collect information about his opponents. In essence, Mourinho is only a member of the reserve team. No, on Wednesday afternoon, I will play on the court without lawn. Despite the poor competition conditions, Mourinho still thrives in these low-quality competitions. Mario Rees is an experienced striker. In the last season of the team, he and klock became lovers. It is said that they scored about 100 goals all season-mainly against the youth team.

Mourinho has an excellent scoring record in the reserve team, but he finds it difficult to get a foothold in the first team. Until 19811February19, Mourinho made his debut in livia-his only game in livia. That day, he came off the bench in extra time to help the team beat Sargelos 2-/Kloc-0-0 in the Portuguese Cup. After the game, Mourinho even accepted a brief interview with the local media to explain why he didn't want to be a famous star like his father. He even complained about the referee-this move is really familiar to today's fans. In the league match between Olivia and Portuguese sports, Mourinho almost showed his talent, but this dream did not come true in the end-although Olivia 1-7 lost to Portuguese sports in that game, the score was not the only topic after the final whistle. On the contrary, before the kick-off, the fierce quarrel in Livia's dressing room attracted more attention.

Trmal-brito recalled: "This is a ridiculous attitude, because we had a wonderful season, we all worked hard, and we were like family, so it was a blow to everyone. After that, we were obviously inattentive and didn't perform well in the game. We sympathize with Mourinho, but more with his father. When the chairman appeared, we finished the warm-up and went back to the dressing room. Say in front of everyone:' Mourinho, you can't be here, take off your jersey and get out of here. The situation is so bad that we don't know how to deal with it. Finally, Mourinho stood up and shouted,' There is no need to do this, I will go by myself.' Fuck you, "he changed his clothes and walked out of the locker room. The moment he went out, there was silence around him. "On that day, Leo Vias had only four people on the bench, and Mourinho was the" mystery of disappearance ". At that moment, Mourinho promised himself that he would never lose face like this again.

The following season, Mourinho followed his father to Belem Tournament, and then went to setubal to play in Comercio e Industria. Finally, 1987, Mourinho finally reached the position of coach. The rest is history-two Champions League champions, eight league champions, and five teams from four different countries won the championship honor. As a head coach, Mourinho left his mark on the football world. You don't need Google at all. You can know that Mourinho is one of the greatest coaches of all time.
