Britain’s “Mirror” introduced the scene on the 15th (Korean time), saying, “Mourinho unveiled the best 11 list of players who have coached in his ‘legendary’ career.”
Mourinho coached Son Heung-min, who had been playing since 2015, while taking the helm of Tottenham from 2019 to 2021. However, Son did not make Mourinho’s Best 11 list.
Mourinho, who took the helm for the first time at SL Benfica in 2000, took over as FC Porto in 2002 after UD Leiria. After winning the 2003-2004 UEFA Champions League in Porto, he headed to Chelsea in 2004 and later took over AS Roma in 2021 after passing Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham.
Mourinho has won six trophies with Porto, eight with Chelsea, five with Inter Milan, three with Real Madrid and three with Manchester United. He is considered a living “legend” coach.
According to “Mirror”, Mourinho appeared on the podcast of his student John Obi Mikel, who coached during his Chelsea years, and made a list of the best 11. 안전 토토사이트
Based on a 4-3-3 formation, Mourinho selected Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo as his strikers. Mesut Ozil, Frank Lampard, Claude Makerele were summoned for midfield and William Gallas, William Carvalho, John Terry and Javier Sanetti for defense. The goalkeeper was Peter Cech.
With eight Chelsea players, two Real Madrid players, and one Inter Milan player, Mourinho has not picked a single player who coached for Manchester United and Tottenham. Neither Son Heung-min nor Harry Kane were on the list.
At the time of leading Tottenham, he showed generous affection for Son Heung-min, but selected Eden Hazard as the best 11 during his Chelsea years.
Mourinho has won so many trophies that he is also called a “winning contractor.” However, he was the only one who could not win a trophy when he was the coach of Tottenham. In a way, it is understandable that Tottenham’s name is not in the best 11.
In 2021, Mourinho led Tottenham to the League Cup (Carabao Cup) final, led by Son Heung-min and Kane, but the club replaced Mourinho a week before the game.
Mourinho said in May, “I hope Tottenham fans don’t misunderstand, but Tottenham is the only team I’m not attached to in my career.” He hinted that he broke up with Tottenham in a bad way.
However, it wasn’t all because of the players. “It’s because of Tottenham President Daniel Levy. He is the only one who stopped me from winning the League Cup final,” Mourinho said. “I left Tottenham because of my disagreement with him.”
