Hereâs why: when Real Madrid played Manchester United in the Champions League in March, I took my son, James, aged 10, to the team hotel in Manchester to catch up with my old Anfield team-mate Xabi Alonso. While we were talking, Mourinho joined us. The half an hour we spent in his company was fascinating. He was in great spirits and gave James his autograph and posed for a picture. After that I started by asking him whether he kept the same managerial style regardless of the country he was managing in. He instantly shook his head. âYou have to change,â came the firm reply. He spoke about his time in Italy with Inter Milan, where only results mattered. So long as a team won, regardless of how they played, there would be praise. Smaller teams, he said, would get praise for their tactics even if they showed no ambition against bigger opponents and suffered narrow defeats. Then he moved on to talking about Madrid and the alterations he made to his style at the Bernabeu. He explained that he deployed a system with two wingers and a No 10 playmaker because Madridâs tradition demanded it. After that, the conversation turned to the Premier League and he casually dropped into the conversation that one of his children would be starting in school in London. There was a shrug of the shoulders and a grin. It was obvious he was going back to Chelsea.
