Jose Mourinho and how Real Madrid effects him

Soccer - UEFA Champions League - Round of Sixteen - Real Madrid v Manchester United - Real Madrid Press Conference - Santiago Bernabeu
Peter from Sportige.com says that Jose Mourinho can’t let Real Madrid out of his system:
It was the first time Jose Mourinho left a club as more of a failure than a success. He might be in a place he’s happier at (Chelsea), but it’s going to be a while before Jose Mourinho lets his Real Madrid period out of his system, or stop talking about it.
When Mourinho left Porto, he was a European champion with a club from a lesser European leagu. When he left Chelsea, he was the manager who brought them to the front of European football (with the help of plenty of money), even though his departure wasn’t on the best of terms. At Inter, he won a European trophy for the first time in over 40 years, joining Real Madrid at the highest point available for him.
Three years later, things are different. It’s not the clubs needing to prove themselves to him that they’re worthy. Mourinho did win a league title in Madrid, but that was it. A cup isn’t something Real Madrid fans consider success; only Mourinho and his players after a disappointing debut season for him.
That title in the second season didn’t really change his legacy at the club. His incidents with Iker Casillas, the fans and the Madrid media that couldn’t wait to get him out made it seem like it was more disastrous than he was, but there’s no doubt he failed at the end. One championship in three seasons, no Champions League title, or even final.
Mourinho doesn’t want to be reminded of a failure, so while he’s trying to win a championship again with Chelsea and show that when they won the Champions League (with Roberto Di Matteo) it wasn’t about the manager that wasn’t him, he keeps throwing mentions to his Madrid time.
About how Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly isn’t as great as he used to be when Mourinho was pushing for him to win the Ballon d’Or. How Real Madrid is all about politics. How his time with the club was actually a success. How he “toppled” Barcelona, but not really. Ego makes you lie, or at least perceive reality in a different way than the rest.
Mourinho can’t admit that he failed at Real Madrid. Not even during his last season, which ended without a title.
The third year was the year of elections. Elections in that club mean a lot and we were in the middle of things that were not normal and only people that is inside can understand what it is. But the season was not so bad. We reached the cup final, of course we lost but we reached the cup final. We reached the UCL semifinals, one goal, one goal difference for not to play the final so the season was not so bad but finish without trophies, only with the Super Cup – we beat Barcelona in the Super Cup – and that’s not enough for me.
The Premier League isn’t a two horse race, as Mourinho remembers very well. A more sympathetic press will certainly help. But Mourinho is right now hanging out with a shadow of failure from Real Madrid, and won’t shake it off without championships, regardless of what he says about his time at the club.

  1. Peter from Sportige is not very imparcial..is it ?
    Why would Mourinho be a failure if he doesnt’ win?
    Even if he doesn’t win a title for the next three years, he still is the most sucessful manager of the decade…
    There are managers that have been in the game longer than him and didn’t win as much and no one using the word failure.
    “Mourinho is hanging out with a shadow of failure from Real Madrid?” lol
    First year at Real: Wins Copa del Rey final against Barcelona (first time in 20 years) after coaches like: Pellegrini, Capelo, Queiroz, Bosque, Heynckes, Valdano never won it.
    Second year at Real: Wins LaLiga while breaking records: 100 points in a single season, 121 goals scored, a goal difference of +89, 16 consecutive away wins, and 32 overall wins. Most sucessful season in Spanish (and European) Football.
    Third year at Real: Wins Supercopa Final against Barcelona, and reaches UEFA champions league semi-final for the third consecutive time (another record)
    He’s also the first manager to win ALL domestic trophies in 4 different top major leagues (Portugal, England, Italy, Spain) and has won 20 titles in 11 years.
    Failure is every other coach in the game that have been working for over 20 years and never reached this numbers.
    Since new move to Chelsea… pre-season – 5 games, 5 wins, 16 goals scoared 2 goals suffered.
    Wake up Peter.

    Although he himself said his last season waas a failure, stating that his ego doesnt allow him to accept it is wrong. He admitted his last season was a failure. But what he said about toppling Barca, winning with record goals and points are facts.. simple as that.
