Interesting to see how this compares to Jose’s own choice of best 11 . He went: Petr Cech, Javier Zanetti, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Mesut Ozil, Eden Hazard, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba. Great video wouldnt really change anything other than probably Ozil for sneijder who imo was on another level compared to sneijder.
@@PythagorasinBoots because he won the Champions League. Ozil wasn't lucky enough. Plus his peak years were when Messi was scoring 91 goals in a year and Ronaldo was the main man of the team. Peak Ozil is probably the best playmaking number 10 I've ever seen.
The weird thing is people associate mourinho with workmanlike midfield. Yet he has bought/ played players like ballack , converted john obi mikel into dm, thiago motta, xabi alonso, nuri sahin, fabregas, paul pogba, converted winger in maniche and at roma he was trying to buy xhaka. I think people forget for winning league he needed good distributor, only in big games he tries to be overdefensive.
Prime Jose had a wonderful balance to his sides - it was only after his spell in Madrid where he seemed to be obsessed with proving he had a counter philosophy to Pep that his downfall began. He should have stayed being versatile and pragmatic rather than defensively dogmatic.
Should have shoutout some more players from that Porto team. Members like Baía, Carvalho, Ferreira, Costinha, Maniche and Deco. That was the team that would die for Mou. A team from players not selected. 4.4.2 diamond. Casillas, Ferreira, Pepe, Lúcio, Ashley Cole, Xabi, Deco, Ballack, Ozil, Ibra and Milito.
It killed me not being able to put more of his Porto players especially Deco. At first Deco was my number 10 and then the more I watched Sneijder play - I was swayed by his 2010 level - he was insanely good and god mode during that season and I felt tactically he was a better fit with Lampard. The others as good as they were can’t really be justified over the guys who were picked ahead of them. Like your non select XI - good choices

6 I think... but in truth I prefer Porto version of Carvalho. So that kind of takes it down to 5. A lot of the picks are marginal, only RB, Carvalho and Eto’o/Ronaldo are shoe ins (unless we change the formation to something like a 4-2-2-2).
The fact that the best leftback last decade aint here Going onnthe level the players where when they played for mourinho Lb a.cole Rb either zanetti or ivanovic Sneider had a ballondor season, and he should be considerd with özil (who was one of the more talented playmakers of the last 20 years) And sorry, eto is a good player - but over hazard (or even zlatan) - not even at his peak. Rest is solid
Please do one for Guardiola ... for me I’d model it after the 2010/11 team: Sterling Messi Etoo Iniesta Xavi Busquets Cancelo Alves Piqué Boateng Neuer
@@PythagorasinBoots you should've also considered Ramos, Pepe, Benzema, higuain, Di Maria, you got most of the Milan and Chelsea players but you only mentioned CR7 and ozil for Madrid, and we know the records he broke at madrid
@@channers625 if you really look at the trophies Of Pepe won under mourinho compare to CBs he picked, then there’s no doubt Pepe is not on the squad, maybe on the bench

Tbh I’m not sure why he picked Ozil over Sneijder. Ozil was the bigger talent but Sneijder reached a peak that was world player of the year level ...

@@PythagorasinBoots Ozil had like 30 assists 3 seasons in a row at madrid. He was the best play maker in the world at the time

@@PythagorasinBoots he is not a defensive dogmatic. That is an assumption. Mourinho is a transition manager
this channel is a football connoisseur's dream
Thanks bud ❤️
dope video, you should consider doing more of these over the summer!
You could do a series focusing on past players such as Makelele and why they were so good. That’d be cool.
We already have a classics player section - check it out! Haven’t done Makelele yet though! Also check out our hall of fame section on the website!
I really hope you make more of these videos
As always, great in-depth analysis and level of research
Cheers bud 👍❤️
extremely tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great vid

This idea could be a very good series!! since you do a Europe League Champion Manager (J.Mourinho), can you do the C1 Champion (C.Ancelotti) as well?
Ancellotti is the next one - just need to find the time to do it!
Great video man✊
Please do an analysis on Patrick Vieira
Haha Viera has been managing for like a month?
@@PythagorasinBoots I mean like during his playing days
Best coach of all time.
One of the GOATs for sure!
please talk about rudiger and where/how you see him playing in Real Madrid's squad. thanks
I think he will play as rotation for cbs or the occasional shift to back 3.
Drogba eto’o and ronaldo as a front three would actually be classed as bullying
Vinicius tactical video !.. please
Not a bad shout that!
For typical Mourinho thinking, I think I would put Deco who had bit more talent than Sneijder and more legowrk than Ozil.
0:32 What about David De Gea 🤷
That is a stacked Chelsea team 7 players
6 I think... but in truth I prefer Porto version of Carvalho. So that kind of takes it down to 5. A lot of the picks are marginal, only RB, Carvalho and Eto’o/Ronaldo are shoe ins (unless we change the formation to something like a 4-2-2-2).
@@PythagorasinBoots okay, so you took their prime version. I understand now. I said 7 cause eto played for inter as well as chelsea under Mourinho
@@PythagorasinBoots Early Chelsea version of Carvalho was honestly better imo
I'm not sure how ozil didn't made this 11
A different kind of video. Me likee
Ancellotti next?
@@PythagorasinBoots that's a great shout. The guy has managed so many great teams. Good luck with that😂
Still the biggest star in that time was THE SPECIAL ONE himself
The fact that the best leftback last decade aint here
Going onnthe level the players where when they played for mourinho
Lb a.cole
Rb either zanetti or ivanovic
Sneider had a ballondor season, and he should be considerd with özil (who was one of the more talented playmakers of the last 20 years)
And sorry, eto is a good player - but over hazard (or even zlatan) - not even at his peak.
Rest is solid
Modric????
Please do one for Guardiola ...
for me I’d model it after the 2010/11 team:
Sterling Messi Etoo
Iniesta Xavi
Busquets
Cancelo Alves
Piqué Boateng
Neuer
You didnt even consider Casillas
His peak had passed by the time of makign this video
@@PythagorasinBoots you should've also considered Ramos, Pepe, Benzema, higuain, Di Maria, you got most of the Milan and Chelsea players but you only mentioned CR7 and ozil for Madrid, and we know the records he broke at madrid
no Pogba? lol
Might do a worst XI so he doesn’t feel left out 😂
@@PythagorasinBoots 🤣
No ramos or pepe....
Over the ones I picked? Not enough under Jose leadership. Ramos reaches his peak post Jose imo.
@@PythagorasinBoots Pepe was so good though. I would have pepe terry. Great channel btw
@@channers625 if you really look at the trophies Of Pepe won under mourinho compare to CBs he picked, then there’s no doubt Pepe is not on the squad, maybe on the bench
