I never had respect for him, did not like that kind of play, it is not football at what it should be
looking at Inter that season, and their main goal-scorer Milito, it is kind a fascinating that he found him to be the best when needed and winning all three main trophies that season, but it was a counter-attack play, that was hard to watch, and should not be respected
I've always had an opinion that Mourinho tactics had always somewhat depend on luck rather than him be a tactical genious his ideology of football is archaic, playing dirty and word games, but when things aren't going well he's always pointing fingers individually to players and takes all the praise when the team is able to achieve something. It's one thing to play counter-attacking football because your opponent is possesion-obssessed and something else entirely if you have a team that you can distinctivly dominate for 90 minutes regardless of how inferior they are on paper.
