They do, it’s why Mourinho can’t manage them.

So Lampard, Drogba, Cech etc. had bad morals? No, they're players who worked hard and gave their all for Mourinho. It's a shame the likes of Pogba, Dele Alli, Hazard etc. aren't the same.

I'm not sure who the 7th best manager in Italy is, but it's not Mourinho.

ask a footballer....

why cant Mourinho adapt to different types of people ? is he so rigid that he can only work with one type of personality?

Is Mourinho unable to identify the type of player he can work with now?

The greatest ego football has ever known moaning about egos in football. You couldn't make it up.

Jose went from parking the bus to throwing his players under the bus. It's never a question of IF it will end in tears it's always a matter of WHEN.

And yet Mourinho's Roma squad has a grand total of 0 Japanese players

It has one Asian player, 2 Africans, and 2 South Americans. The rest come from Europe

Will he be signing any more non Europeans on the back of this understanding of football?

Look at what happened in when Mourinho pushed Lampard. He became the best midfielder in the world. Look at what happened when Mourinho tried to push de Bruyne. He gave up and left.

Modern players just arent the same as they used to be.

De Bruyne left and became the best midfielder in the world.

and Mourinho is unable to adapt.

poor manager who can only manage one type of player. the more you talk about it the more you make it out that Jose struggles to motivate players that are unable to don it themselves. the need to be that steely type that dont really need the motivated.

that surely has to be a weakness? unable to deal with a variety of different people in a changing room it seems

In this article Wahl has basically confirmed that Mourinho is unable to change and can only manage certain types of player.

he is essentially saying that Jose is a dinosaur type manager who cannot deal with modern day people.

surely questions his man management skills then IMO.

How do you motivate someone who gives up when you try to push them??? Mourinho wanted De Bruyne to work hard and prove him wrong. John terry tells a story about a time where Mourinho laid into him so much and made John Terry so angry that he was determined to prove him wrong and perform even better. You treat a modern player like that and they down tools to get the manager sacked. How is this mourinhos fault?

Where did he go? Did he join Real Madrid? No, Wolfsburg we’re the best team that wanted him. Mourinho was right, he wasn’t ready to be a starting player at a team of Chelsea’s level.

Because it’s crap man management.

City are at a level Chelsea have never been at.

you find an alternative way to motivate them ..... or you do if your capable.

Yes but city didn’t want him immediately which proved mourinhos point. He still needed to grow and develop, he just could have done that at Chelsea instead of throwing a tantrum and joining furrrking Wolfsburg

Why does Mourinho adapt to the players but the players don’t adapt to Mourinho? Look at Roma, Mourinho has the support of the club and the players are falling in line. If Tottenham and Man Utd had such strong owners, they’d have won premier league titles with Mourinho.
