It is effective, but has limitations

. If players are not allowed to feel a sense of crisis or shame, it cannot guarantee that they will implement tactics without fail, nor can they guarantee that they will be absolutely trusted and loyal to the coach. As a coach from Barcelona, ​​Mourinho often criticized Barcelona in Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea's second phase. This is definitely not because of his deep hatred for Barcelona, ​​but because of his complete pragmatism: in those years, to rule Europe, you must pass Barcelona; to pass Barcelona, ​​you must form demonization of Barcelona in the locker room, so that the club will hate Barcelona when it comes to mention Barcelona. This is Mourinho's way to win.

Everyone knows what happened later. The ball did win, but the players' bloody state lasted for only two years, and in the third year they collectively gave up. This kind of gameplay is not liked by the neutral media, the referees do not like it, the Football Association does not like it, and the club management no longer likes it. Even if Mourinho won a Champions League trophy in those three years, it would probably not be enough to make him a "long-term coach" of Real Madrid, let alone he is so short of breath every year?

Mourinho's "Mu's Three Years" curse started with Real Madrid. For big clubs, it is acceptable to accompany you to get hatred and get rid of chicken blood in the first year, but you will be a little tired in the second year, and in the third year, you will not only be tired, but you will also be worried that your business value will be affected. Taking the incident of Eva in Chelsea's second phase of female team doctor as an example, Mourinho complained that the players actually supported a team doctor but did not support him. The players might think: "I help the coach and bully the weak. Will I still accept advertisements in the future? How many fans will my social media lose?"

To be fair, as time goes by, Mourinho realized his problem. He has been flattened a lot of edges and corners as he has entered Tottenham, Roma and Fenerbahce. Although he is still used to fighting against the sky and the earth, he no longer forces the players to fight with him. This change made him qualified to continue to be active in the football circle, but inevitably weakened his management efficiency.

Since leaving Manchester United, we have rarely seen Mourinho's team play a highly willful "iron-blooded" scene - if you don't get hatred, how about iron-blooded? However, in the entire football world, the era of "iron-blooded" has passed anyway. Now is an era of respecting the personality of players, which is destined to play with "hit hatred" as the core, and there will be no chance of turning around in the visible future.

A side note: Mourinho was able to create glory back then, largely because he was the head coach, not the club chairman or CEO. Although the head coach undertakes many external functions, it is ultimately internal. He closed the door and attracted hatred in the locker room, which had limited direct impact on the outside world; although he had a great impact on the outside world, he could still be compensated by the club management.

If Mourinho was the club's management, the destructive power would be too great, and the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona would have really escalated to being out of control. The reason why Florentino trusted Mourinho for three years is precisely because as the club chairman, he has the ability and confidence to control the influence of "hit hatred"; if he doesn't have enough experience, he may not be able to do it.

Another thing: Mourinho, who is outside of work, is actually clear about many things. Wenger and Ranieri, who were called "failed experts" by him, later received his strong support. Messi, who blocked him on the court many times, has also been fully recognized by him. He can still maintain the minimum decent and even friendship for Abramovich, Florentino and even Levi, who once parted with him.

This fully shows that Mourinho actually knows that "hiring hatred" is not the whole of football. Everyone is a professional businessman, and there is no need to elevate professional confrontation to personal hatred. But as a coach, he had to instill hatred in the players to build his prestige and implement his football philosophy. Is this smart or helpless?

If you change a group of "unclear" coaches, who are not as good as Mourinho, but have to do something more radical than Mourinho, it will probably be even more worrying in the long run. If the ball is in an upward phase, this gameplay may have worked well in the first two years, which is enough to make people ignore the hidden risks. The longer it lasts, the more likely the risk will be exposed. At that time, someone will pretend to be confused (or really confused) and ask: "Why? Is this generation of players not good? Or are we too successful and the referees are targeting us more and more?"

I am not a football expert. What I wrote today must have many loopholes in the eyes of football professionals. However, I believe that most readers can understand: what I really want to talk about is not football. Mourinho in this article is more like a "fraternal character" used to arouse readers' thinking. After all, "hiding hatred" not only exists on the football field, but also exists in all aspects of human society. If you can understand more things based on the rise and fall of my idol Mourinho and use similar logic to understand more things, then this article will not be written in vain.

Hope Inter Milan wins the 2025 Champions League championship! At the same time, I hope Mourinho will return to the front-line wealthy family as soon as possible. Let us see what miracles he can create in a state of "no hatred".
