Accepted the Times reporter robert crampton interview, Mourinho showed that he is not happy to accept no challenge and pressure of homework, and thought that England has the opportunity to be in this

On winning the title.
When we met with Mourinho five days before he was sacked, the Portuguese had no idea that he was going to be sacked. This time Mourinho was

behavior is utterly appalling. Exactly, its time

They are in 7th place in the league. In addition, at that time, they had 10 days before the final of the League Cup. So, at that time

What a strange resolution to sack Mourinho.
At the time, we rarely talked about Mourinho's role in the

During the period appeared as an authority figure. Mourinho reportedly did not know until Sunday night that he was about to be

sacked and was very shocked by it. Let's be honest, no matter how lucrative the severance package is, getting sacked is not an easy job. Of course, I was significantly touched by Mourinho's sadness when I spoke to him briefly on the phone afterward.
He said, "I don't have a next step yet, I continue to live a normal life. I feel all fresh. I feel calm. I am on vacation. I have more moments to do the work I want to do and dissect the competition. I'm waiting for the return. Not just for the right team, but for the right culture. Maybe it's too early to say I'll be back next season, so let's wait patiently."
Back to that pre-departure interview with Mourinho. Mourinho was dressed casually, looked a little tired and could see significant dark circles under his eyes. 58 years old, he doesn't look like the man he was when he first took charge in 2004.

The time was so handsome. It wasn't a bad conversation, and it wasn't a pleasant one either. It wasn't that I didn't like him or he didn't like me. More importantly, he wasn't interested in me.
Mourinho expects to find a team that suits him
The same that Pogba revealed in that moment, Mourinho can be close to you one day and cold to you the next. Other players may feel the same way. Mourinho was particularly grim with Luke Shaw, but since Mourinho's departure from Old Trafford, Luke Shaw has now found his feet as a good wing-back. In

Mourinho is known for his easy-going approach to his players. In the years since, as other managers have increasingly adopted the 'carrot' rather than the 'stick' approach, Mourinho seems to have changed, adopting the grim approach of the 1970s gym teacher as his primary motivator. The first thing that you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Mourinho on operations during the epidemic closure: "I feel it's too difficult! But I was privileged because we were different from people outside the soccer world during the epidemic. I was able to continue working. When I feel frustrated, I compare my days with others - I realize I'm OK. We didn't lose our jobs, we didn't lose our paychecks, we still went to the practice field, we still got to touch the sidelines." When I ask if he's gained any other skills, like learning a language, a musical instrument, or perhaps the ability to appreciate nature, he says, "Outside of soccer? Nope! Days in work, yes! I used to say in former times that I was a team coach, not an individual coach. During this time, I was more of a personal coach than a team-oriented coach. So, yes, I harvested some techniques. We tried to find a way to organize the practice so that the players felt connected on the field, even if their teammates weren't there."
Mourinho's "structural empathy" in all or nothing struck a chord with me, but how did he maintain this structural empathy during the closure of the epidemic? "During the closure, I felt the opposite of what you feel when you've been working together for a long time. Soccer is so intense, so many competitions, so many road trips, so few free moments, and there's a moment in the season when people get a little bit tired of each other. But during the closure of the epidemic, it was the complete opposite."
Pogba has shown that it's difficult to live with Mourinho
Mourinho will be profiled as a talking head at the Times this summer
European cup (e.g. soccer)
The competition. There was a time before that when Mourinho had a great deal of contempt for ex-workers who did their profiling in TV studios. What's more, he suspected that these talkers had preconceptions about themselves - due to their loyalty to their old bosses.At the time of 2019, Mourinho had worked for Sky Sports for a while, and he had a newfound knowledge of both Gary Neville and Alan Shearer. More importantly, he enjoyed it. I thought it was at least one way for Mourinho to get involved in the competition, although it was still different from leading the team.
"I really love this role because it can have the effect of creating a different me. In order to succeed in this role and shape their personal image, it is sometimes necessary for the talker to touch on areas that they have not previously dabbled in. It is necessary for them to be more extreme and radical in order to make a name for themselves. I have two points of view, firstly, I am there to please myself, I am not on a job, I am on vacation. I can have fun, meet new people and learn something new. Second, I can continue to serve soccer. I'm a talker with the simple intention that I can say everything I see. I can tell it in a soft way. I love to hear from people with different experiences. For example, when I talk with Roy Keane and Souness in the same game, they have experience as top players that I don't have. I have experience as a coach that they don't have. They know how to help the team as a player to face

And what about Mourinho's home team?
"My home team is the hometown team vitória de setúbal, and I empathize with all that happens to them, good or bad. In addition to that, I have a lot of respect for the teams I've coached. So I usually support my old team when they play - I'll feel like I'm in touch with the people and the fans there ......" if

Semi-finals the same? "I would be inclined to pick the team that has friends. Where are the people I'm subbing with? Same chairman? The same owner? Who are my players? I'm grateful to all of them. I repay them with my best efforts. No matter how many games I win, I give my all to every team. When I'm off the team, I only say good things about the team. I'm not the kind of person who throws dirt. I always go in a positive direction. Me and the world.

Winning it all, that's a special emotion. But if one day I had to go to Italy to coach a world

Mourinho thought the talker's assignment would shape a different version of himself
Mourinho was briefly involved in working competitions, but at the age of 19, he picked the

-Same as a number of coaches, when realizing they couldn't be a great player, they began to set their sights on coaching positions. Was it a disappointment when you realized you couldn't be a tremendous player? Mourinho replied, "No." Wouldn't you have felt sad? "No. I could have become a soccer coach much earlier. I will never play at the highest level as a player. Most coaches aren't very good players, but they always say 'I got hurt, I fell off my bike.' They always find some excuse. I'm the only honest one. I love being a coach."
After Mourinho left Portugal for London in 2004, he also coached World

, but round and round he would always come back to London. This is first and foremost due to soccer, but also because he and his family love the city. He says: "Don't get me wrong, Portugal is Portugal. But London is where I expect to spend the rest of my life. London has given me so much. My first coaching

My children started their schooling in London at the same time, and then went to a few places, but they all went to English or World Schools. When I returned to London for the 2nd time, they were all old enough to make their own choices. Everyone loved London."
Mourinho refused to talk about Britain's exit from the European Union, thinking "It's a British resolution. I respect that. I respect this country. I support the history, the tradition of England. I'm not British, but I'm like British. I was here during the terror attacks in London and I feel like this is my city. People here are polite and active on the streets. I would like to believe that people find me to be a very professional person, a kind person. The nature of my work has led me to be criticized at times during my working life in England, but I am genuine. I am happy to believe that genuineness is an outstanding quality."
Mourinho said, "England is special for soccer. That's what initially recruited me to come here. I picked to go to England to coach. I also expect to feel the soccer of Italy and Spain."
I asked Mourinho, in the world

After that, did he ever consider traveling to France or perhaps Germany to coach instead of returning to the

? He replied, "Yes, but in Germany and France, you know that your place of intention is either
Bayern
Munich or Paris Saint-Germain. You know your destiny is organized right away. In England, it's competition at the highest level. It invites me. It puts pressure on me and I expect to have that pressure. Sometimes that pressure can become unbalanced or disproportionate, but I can take it. I refuse to go to a country where there is no pressure, I refuse!"
Mourinho expects to find a challenging, stressful assignment
Mourinho was widely thought to be a breath of fresh air in 2004, but now he has become a bitter man. From "the special one" to "the grumpy one"? Has Mourinho lost his shine, lost his fun, and can no longer enjoy soccer? Mourinho himself does not think so: "I still enjoy soccer, but I also love success. I prepare for every competition with the same enthusiasm, but if the team did not win the competition, I certainly will not seem to win the competition as happy!"
So Mourinho isn't one of those people who thinks that in former times it was always better than now? "I am certainly open to ideas. I think the world should be open to new, better things, but together with that you have to fight against new bad things. Not so all new things are good."
Does Mourinho really think the media are being unfair to him? "Exactly. I thought people would think I wasn't that humble. I thought it was their illusion. I think I am humble by nature. But sometimes, because I say things too directly, people think I am not a humble person. Even though it didn't help.

Winning any trophies, but I am still the most newsworthy manager in the world. I can inform you how much news there is about me every day around the world." How does that mean you are being treated unfairly? "Because for me the job has always evolved in different ways. People look at me differently than they look at others."
Of course, Ferguson and Wenger have said similar things. Mourinho and Ferguson coexisted well, but he and Wenger did not. So, is there still contact between Mourinho and these two managers?
"With Ferguson just text message contact. Wenger? I don't have his name in my address book." What about the phone numbers of Klopp, Guardiola, Arteta? "Yes, I have their numbers. But I'm not saying I call them every day."
with respect to
European cup (e.g. soccer)
While on the subject, Mourinho said, "England have a chance to win the title. They play the group stage on home soil. They have home advantage and they've had the same manager for a couple of years. They have previously played in the
World Cup
It's a good experience to race on a good performance. In that session

On, they still look a bit young. Rashford was in that
World Cup
It still looks a little young on it, as many players do. I thought they had a pretty good chance of winning the title."
So who does Mourinho expect to win the
European cup (e.g. soccer)
What about the success? Was it Portugal? "Exactly." What if Portugal had been screened? Which team does Mourinho expect to win? "England, I would not hesitate to give my answer."
Together, Mourinho added: "I also expect to be involved in the
European cup (e.g. soccer)
probably
World Cup
! I can coach any team. I would be happy to coach the national team, the Portuguese national team or another country. The Portuguese national team would be more natural, because it would be an honor for me, but if one day I were to become the manager of another country, I would be just as lucky."
