He was at Coventry in the twighlight of his career. He was such a positive influence on the dressing room and he also got involved in the community which for someone on loan was admirable.
Gotta love Joe Cole, decent guy with no ego. That Chelsea team of the mid 00s was just a winning machine. They were so powerful and mentally strong it was scary. Mourinho of that era was special, he demanded so much more from his players and it showed in the games that they played. That along with Rafa Benitez defined that time frame in football. The game has moved on from the mid/late 00s, players are no longer the same I'd say more "snowflakey" and I assent to add more social media driven. But what great time to enjoy the game back in the mid to late 00s.
@@I-am-Ranb0 Plus United and Liverpool were so powerful too. The best era was the the Premier league in 98 - 2008 BIG4 era. Four genuine WORLDCLASS teams that were very much feared in Europe as well.
@@Bossman525 Definitely my man, football has changed so much, most teams now are all full of small midfielders, small wide men, small forwards. Each to their own and what not but I always like watching teams that have the power to bully teams and play with flair, like I said that Chelsea team with the likes of Drogba, Lampard, Essien, Terry, Cech etc.. Arsenal with Campbell, Lehman, Gilberto, Viera.. United with Vidic, Ferdinand, Rooney, Keane etc... Also inter Milan when Jose, that team was insane man they had everything, Power with Lucio, Zanetti, Cesar, Maicon, Samuel, Cambiasso, Motta, but then had awesome players like Milito, Eto, Sjneider even Balotelli.
@@I-am-Ranb0 Amen to that comment brother, world class POWERFUL teams that will not be replicated in modern football. Frank Rijkaards Barca was more dominant in terms of play as apposed to the more tiki taka Peps Barca. I preferred the more powerful Barca team of Frank Rijkaard's then the later version of the more delicate football of peps. But again two very different but quality teams.
The Chelsea team of 2004-5-6 was simply scary. Big personalities, physically strong, tactically smart and very very efficient winning machine. Those were the days.
Everything Mourinho does for the players is to benefit them. Some don't see it now. But with age and maturity, they start to catch on how much of a great mentor he actually is.
@@Irishesbox11 often players are sold for a variety of reasons.Take De Bruyne for example, he could not get enough game time. He was up against Willian, Oscar, Hazard, etc. obviously looking back now it is easy to say it was a bad decision but...
Joe Cole was at his peak during 2005-06 season. He was the best player of England at 2006 World Cup. After that he suffered two back to back injuries and missed the most of 2006-07 season. He never gained his top form after that, just a spark in 2007-08 season and after that he just faded away at the age of 27, what a shame.
My brother and I started screaming in the living room, my mum ran thinking something had happened, saw it was football and just gave us evils and walked back, God bless her 😂
One of the most underrated players ever. He was one of the reasons why I fell in love with Chelsea and the Premeir League at an early age. Loved that nickname Rio and the guys gave him at West Ham. Conjurer!
Fergie did exactly the same to Rooney, Ronaldo etc so when Rio is asking if Mourinho took the magic out of Joe, ask if Fergie done the same, Rio! Oh wait... won’t have a bad word said against him!
In a sense, Mourinho was right. Joe Cole had like 2 GREAT years but never he was considered the best in the world, whilst Frank Lampard... he trully was one of the greatest ever to play in that position. Still Mou had the knowledge to educate and praise Joe Cole for what he did but he trully could have been so much more. But then again we (the general public) are unaware of so many things that these glimpses of interactions of players and coaches are so interesting. I would love to be a manager at that level, or at least have the opportunity of witness a full season under a Football Manager that coaches any top flight team.
man I'm 24 don't watch football often except when the opportunity to jump on a bandwagon but I always remember loving J Cole, turns out he's a cool guy also
Statistically, Joe Cole played the best football of his career under Mourinho. But apparently Mourinho 'ruined' him because he didn't hug him after every game.
God i loved joe cole i miss old chelsea that group of players(joe cole, ashley cole,lampard, essien, drogba,) really bleed blue. Chelsea now is filled with mostly mercenaries players how come for the coach or 💰 or who think chelsea is some kind of stepping stool to 🇪🇸.
As a football fan. Damn! What a fantastic signing on a free. 20 or 30 mins from the first game Red Card and he was never the same. Mouthwatering to think, he could lift some burden from Steven Gerrard but. . He came at the wrong time. Time when Liverpool was mismanage on the pitch and in the boardroom.
Gotta give it to rio, even in a conversation about Joe Cole he attempts to have a go at mourinho, even suggests it's joses fault for Cole not fulfilling his potential. The mans obsessed
Remember watching him for West Ham against Liverpool in about 2001 and the guy was honestly a joke. Only way Liverpool could stop him was hacking him down at the halfway line before he got too close to goal. Unbelievable player.
When I first started playing fifa, young Joe was the best skiller for years in the Chelsea team. Used to do defenders dirty. Great talent and undoubtedly a Blues legend!
That's the mentality that makes Jose's teams successful, when players are able to take criticism...not like the current man united players that wouldn't stop whining.
Me and my mate used to watch soccer AM every Saturday and as soon as the ‘showboat’ came on take bets on how many times joe Cole would feature. This was mainly in his West Ham days. Everyone said he would be the next gazza. Mourinho turned him into a more defensive minded player which took away his flair but added a to a more rounded football player.
The NBA have a show called "inside the nba" where former player gather and talk about funny time, tough times, successfull times ect, we need a show like that with a good setup for footballers, id be watching every week for sure!
Mourinho has never been the same since Madrid. Ive always said this but he has lost the passion since chelsea and madrid won champions league without him
his last year in particular ruined him, he couldn't accept he lost the objective of his club for the first time in his life (to win the Champions League). It hurt his pride and he's been bitter ever since.
This is the different about Mou managed team at 2000 up and 2014 up.. the way now is different not like the old time.. I think if Jose given the all he need at the club like chelsea in 2004/2005 , intermilan or even porto.. he can give another champions again. Iam a chelsea fan and still now hope he manage chelsea one day if Sarri leave.. He and Ten Hag ..
I'm one of those who thinks Joe didn't reach his potential. I understand why he went to Chelsea, and yes he did win alot there, but, he was not any part of the reason they won so much. They'd have won it without him. He was never really trusted in the middle at Chelsea, particularly by Jose who preferred bigger lads. So he was stuck out wide for so long there. He was never trusted to be free. Jose even threatened to sell him if he did one more backheal. That era of lampard, Gerrard and scholes debate should have included joe. He was every bit as good as them, maybe even more so. Could have been gazza Standard, i really believe that. But he's overlooked as a great. Because he was never allowed to shine as a central player. Still a great career, but should have been so much better for me.
We all know what Jose did to him! Joe was a Ronaldo type player with unbelievable Brazilian type skills and Jose kept hammering him in interviews etc saying he wanted something more from him, defending mostly. He changed joe into a average joe! See what I did there....never mind. At Westham he was brilliant and I’m spurs by the way, not easy for me to say.
@@nickm8874 jcole was not slow before his injuries. He was quick skillful and determined player. Also Ronaldo didn't have much end product at that time either.
I think maybe the comments on unfulfilled potential are more to do with Joe seeming like a top bloke and was obviously an exciting player, certainly in English terms, so it would have just been nice for him to be mentioned alongside players like Lampard and Gerrard. His trophy haul is in reality really impressive but I feel like if it was with a different club he would have stood out more as Mourinho has never really valued players like Cole as much as other managers do.
I'm glad they were talking about his 2005/06 Chelsea goal vs ManUtd that secured the PL title and not either his offside goal at OldTrafford in 2004/05 or his goal at OldTrafford in 2009/10 which also won Chelsea the title but incredibly controversial title win that year it was from Chelsea where ManUtd were the best team. He had some good luck against ManUtd didn't he, I even remember him getting away with a red card offence at OldTrafford 2007/08 when he hacked Cristiano from behind (what ManUtd player is ever allowed to do that to a Chelsea player? Certainly not Vidic, Rafael etc... ) and Stamford Bridge 2009/10 escaped punishment for an off-the-ball hack out at Fletcher and in 2008/09 he again fouled Cristiano from behind wasn't quite as bad as his 07/08 hack but the thing about the 08/09 one was that Cristiano was the only player to be booked in that incident???? That was the game where Mike Riley booked 7 ManUtd players to Chelsea's 1 when Chelsea were the dirtier team it wasn't a dirty game at all from ManUtd yet they get a club fine for unfairly having 6 or more players booked.
Top bloke, no arrogance about him. Raised well.
02:25 mourinho factor yet again
Yeah hes great is Jo Cole.
It is amazing with all the hype on him at a young age that Joe didn't turn into a bigheaded bellend. Parents did him good. Top man.
Qwerty Qwertyson also the culture at Chelsea. Very humble & they don’t put up with work alots
And jose
@killwill83 He got a big injury in his prime. Never recovered.

One of the best technical players we produced in the last generation but our game hadn't quite caught up with him. English game was way behind
And still is.
Chelsea benchwarmer. That's the reality.
Respect Mourinho, Mourinho respects.
Very well said.
My favourite England goal is his volly v Sweden
Got his name on the back of my England shirt after that game
I will always remember Joe Cole's goal against Sweden.
Class

Really liked Jo Cole. He was an amazing and underrated player. Much love
Incoming the mourinho haters... they seem to forget his 2010 treble and numerous premier league titles.
he spent 300 million on a team and cant win games....
A M The players downed tools.
Not at Inter. Jose made that Inter a great team even when Zlatan left Inter
Mourinho is a joke manager always gets destoryed by Klopp. What a fraud.
Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD call him a fraud yet praise klopp right got ya
loved joe cole as a player, seems like he has such a good personality as well
Cello sssueiidfhdte
Joe Cole, Robben, Drogba.
What a trio. 2005-2007
Jose is an enigma and football would be dull without him
Flav lol football was also dull with him 😂😂😂
Without him haters will have nothing to comment. Pundits and entire media will loose job
Absolutely
Absolutely
Who else remembers that 2006 World Cup goal? Can't remember another time I went as crazy over a goal than that one
Seb Kennedy nah I think trippers freekick got whole of england bezerk
Fergie did exactly the same to Rooney, Ronaldo etc so when Rio is asking if Mourinho took the magic out of Joe, ask if Fergie done the same, Rio! Oh wait... won’t have a bad word said against him!
Definitely agree that Rooney was turned into a roleplayer
His early talent never flourished
Jose Mourinho the type of guy to smile and laugh when he loses a game and throw a tantrum when he wins
No really
hahaha yeah sure
Top manager
There's three pundits in this video. Jose has won three premier league titles. Respect man, respecccct.
Exactly
Classic Interview from Joe Cole lol
as an american growing up watching the game always loved Joe Coles playing style . One of top technical players from 🏴
In a sense, Mourinho was right. Joe Cole had like 2 GREAT years but never he was considered the best in the world, whilst Frank Lampard... he trully was one of the greatest ever to play in that position.

Joe Cole at 25 now would be worth 150m and one of the top players in the world, ahead of his time, still quality though
Relax lol.
About 90m imo
nice to hear some one who appreciate morino work at this time thanks cole
Mourinho the type of guy to start Mctominay over Pogb....
Fahim Shah Mourinho’s the type of guy to start Mctominay in CB instead of Bailly
That's what jose to become wroset manager
Because attitude matters and sometimes attitude > potential
Fahim Shah and rightly so?
Trying to get him to say something bad about Jose, but he's a loyal soldier 👍🏼
What’s the problem of keep blaming jose and saying jose ruin player lol?! He’s one of the best coach in the history
because those people only watched football since 2015 lol
man I'm 24 don't watch football often except when the opportunity to jump on a bandwagon but I always remember loving J Cole, turns out he's a cool guy also
Statistically, Joe Cole played the best football of his career under Mourinho. But apparently Mourinho 'ruined' him because he didn't hug him after every game.
J Cole could have been much better, Mourinho was not good for him
peter burry Many players credit him for there success. After he left Inter everything fell apart
in fairness he was about 22 when Mourinho took over so there wasn't that much before the supposed ruining
this comment made my day!!!!!!
What a skillful player. Also humble

Joe Cole was some talent man. As a United fan nothing but respect for JC.
I often wonder why people on youtube think others care what team they support.
As a football fan. Damn! What a fantastic signing on a free. 20 or 30 mins from the first game Red Card and he was never the same.

One of the few times i liked to watch England play is when Joe Cole was playing.
Joe seems like a such a genuine bloke doesn't he!
It's amazing how players just love mourinho. They would give everything on the pitch for him
What José did to Joe then is somewhat reminiscing what Tuchel is currently doing to Ziyech & Abraham
Love Joey Cole. Legend!
Remember watching him for West Ham against Liverpool in about 2001 and the guy was honestly a joke. Only way Liverpool could stop him was hacking him down at the halfway line before he got too close to goal. Unbelievable player.
I wonder if Joe ever thought about moving to a different country that would suit the type of player he was earlier in his career
played for Lille for abit mate
Ashley Henighan the damage was done
Spain would of been perfect for him real were a mess at the time and needed a player like him.
@@SuperTonygrant earlier in his career
Mourinho is the type of guy to pour his milk before the ceral
What a freak
Thats coz he is feral dog.
I do that ..didnt know it was other way around
Monster😤😤
i know it's been over a year but... exactly...
He was competing with Duff and Robben hi his place, so they had great competition for the two wing places.
Duff and Robben wrecked the premiership with drogba upfront
Mourinho was not the same when he came back to Chelsea, or the players mentality was very weak to accept him. Sad times for Chelsea.😪
regular Joe he still did pretty well in his first two seasons on his second spell but that’s somehow often forgotten by people
I'm glad I watched this, seems a very grounded bloke. Top player in his prime too.
When I first started playing fifa, young Joe was the best skiller for years in the Chelsea team. Used to do defenders dirty. Great talent and undoubtedly a Blues legend!

Top bloke. Chris Sutton absolute plum. Right dry lunch.😉
My favourite Chelsea player, him and Essien.
As much as I like Joe Cole, I don't think he's made for TV as a pundit but I hope he has success with coaching.

As a Bayern fan, I really adore Rio...He is a real gentleman.
Looool wouldn't expect Frank to be so savage 🤣 What a team that was!!!
Joe Cole. Easily my favourite of the Peaky Blinders and that mixtape he did wit Jeremih... Airplanes was fire.
Chelsea legend in my eyes
A player with great feet. Could play in any team in tbe world at his peak.
Never forget, Joe Cole ruled the soccer am showboat late 90s early 00s
Prime Joe Cole was pretty fast and skillfull.
What a player he was
Jose is best manager the universe has ever seen!! We miss u Joe!
I use to love watching Joe a great player
Mourinho has never been the same since Madrid. Ive always said this but he has lost the passion since chelsea and madrid won champions league without him
Truth HasATongue tbf he was unlucky not to win one at Madrid three semi finals but ultimately he needed to win one to be successful l
Lol he lost to 2 penalty shootouts in 11/12 and 06/07.it was luck
E .S well to win cup competition there’s always an element of luck but ultimately the teams that win deserve par a couple
his last year in particular ruined him, he couldn't accept he lost the objective of his club for the first time in his life (to win the Champions League). It hurt his pride and he's been bitter ever since.

What a lovely lad
Joe cole should of joined Tottenham not Liverpool after leaving Chelsea and i am a Chelsea fan
looney logic wouldn’t have come close to matching his wages
I hate this comment because I hate spurs
He'd have still spent 4 years injured
Joe was great
Favourite england player - one of the only ones who could actually dribble
I think maybe the comments on unfulfilled potential are more to do with Joe seeming like a top bloke and was obviously an exciting player, certainly in English terms, so it would have just been nice for him to be mentioned alongside players like Lampard and Gerrard. His trophy haul is in reality really impressive but I feel like if it was with a different club he would have stood out more as Mourinho has never really valued players like Cole as much as other managers do.
Jose used to be a tactician, now he's a mecenary, just going around making millions.
Joe is soooooooooo cool,
Fantastic player!
My favourite player for years
Im Leeds but Joes a good lad, England could have got more out of that generation with a better coach.😊
He’s underrated imo
Out of context question here, do they really have a studio in every stadium or the background is green screen stuff?
joe cole is eden hazards doppelganger
Him at West Ham with Di Canio🔥
glad joe is now back in chelsea in a managerial capacity
Those were the days!
My favorite player any day.. Unfortunately didn't play up to his potential!
My favourite Joe Cole song is No Role Modelz
Cole is a cool dude
Jose also said he scored from a corner that he owed him
Joe shut the door on jayjay being a younger option when they signed him from West ham

Absolute baller
