Can you imagine an alternate timeline where MOURINHO coaches MESSI ? I may be wrong, but I think Ronaldo had his best goal scoring seasons under Mou, and Real did score the most number of goals in a single season under him as well. Would've been very cool to see what Jose could do with Messi

I don’t think Mourinho would’ve gotten more out of Messi than Pep did. Pep made Messi absolutely deadly in that false 9 role. I think that was the best decision Messi made. I don’t think Mourinho would’ve made that decision. He would’ve probably bought another striker and put Messi on the wings. He’d still be phenomenal but never as deadly as he was under Pep. Especially since the style of mourinho’s teams are so opposite to Barca

As a Chelsea fan, I take pride in the fact the first stoking of the flames on this rivalry began while he was at Inter with a quick jab critiquing Barcelona's "legitimate" win against us in 2009. When questioned about allegedly co-owning property with the Portuguese referee in the S/F match vs. Inter in 2010 : "I don't know about that. Maybe Pep owns a restaurant in Oslo" LMFAO.

Well, after the role of DM is more important than ever in term of build up play link between the CAM and Forwards. Mourinho Long Ball and Direct counter attack has a huge disadvantages now. As Klopp who found his way to Long balls by DM or RB & LB to create chances. Mourinho direct long ball to CF to win the ball but poor in mid will always get him and not being in Possession of the ball, lesser you will get in creating chances. Relying on Opponent make a mistake and start a counter when you already running to get the ball who has so much possesion will only lead to his player stamina depletion and less effective in counter when they get the balls. Mourinho mostly use his DM for counter or Tackles only. GK and CB for long balls to CF. He never took a player who has a good control in ball who can receive ball and goes for through or long balls to side or forward plays. Instead he want his DM to be strong and agressive to steal the balls for him and win duel in air.

[@royalekrishan7694]

Haha if u watched Mou RealMadrid - They had XABI ALONSO who's imo *THE BEST DM* whos king of Long balls n physically strong enough to do tackles n aerially too v.good.
