Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium.

Football is simple. You are in time or too late. When you are too late, you should start sooner.

In small space a player has to be capable of acting quickly. A good player who needs too much time can suddenly become a poor player.

I felt sorry for the match ball - it came off the pitch crying.

If you can't win, make sure you don't lose.

Playing against 10 is harder than playing against 11 players. You know why? The team with 11 will think "ok, we can take it easy now", while the team with 10 will think "We really have to work hard now."

If my forward arrives in a one vs one situation, I always say: 'let him work it out.' Then my players say: But we can help him!'. My reply is: First, there's a good chance you'll only run in his way, and as a second attacker you're drawing a second defender with you, and two vs two is harder than one vs one.'
