Beautiful jose is so attached with his players thats why they can go through a brick wall for him
and you heard Essien talk about how angry Mourinho gets when the players don't play well....this that winning mentality. Did the same at City and the players woke up
Waheed joe Khan unlike current Man U semi pro squad...and from few exceptions...
You mean create a brick wall for him
I bet Antony Martial can relate to this message...
Park in front of the brick wall more like
The reason Jose and essien “clicked” so well is because Jose likes hard working players..enter Michael Essien.
00:25 he is still playing tho
I wonder if Jose shares such a bond with any of United's players. .
Mourinho would have loved to coach Miroslav Klose
ben mungai mctominay
@@Jordanblamire1 Lingard...
Jose is so misunderstood.
He TESTS every player's character by confronting them head on when they don't perform.
Some players lose confidence because of it.. while others get stronger.
-
Jose gets rid of the ones that lose confidence so he can have a team full of soldiers, not cowards.
You can't change him, that's how he has always been and he is going to remain the same forever.
And as you can see this is how well he treats his soldiers.
exactly!!!
Inter is a perfect example of a team full of warriors.
He wants warriors because he is ond himself. How can a man like him expect anything less.
to be honest, this is true. Even though at chelsea he got rid of top talents like mata, de bryune and others, he made a team that was mentally very strong. We used to go to finals knowing we had already won. He was tactically inflexible later on but he was a top manger and a top man.
Exactly.
„he was not my player .... he is my son“ Damn that was nice and got me goosebumps 🤗☺️
And those Leon, are no empty words. Best Regards from Portugal!

I’m his white daddy had me rolling 😂
To motivate professional footballers so much that they go through brick walls for u.......
That is special.
Zlatan once said that he could kill for Mourinho.
#SpecialOne
In the same statement, he said that Mourinho made him become a Lion.
ShruVar it's why Chelsea were so successful even when he left, he instilled it into the fore of the team.
Zlatan Journey began with Fabio Capello even he said an interview Capello is the inspired him to lift weights, but Mourinho is the man to made him shine both of them goes to the credit.
Materrazi said he would go through fire for jose
John terry said he'd die on the pitch for Mourinho
Essien was an absolute POWERHOUSE ! Central midfield, defensive midfield, right back , central defender, I can even recall some games where he had to play left back. He used the play every game of every competition in the season. That injury he sustained in the beginning of the 2008-09 season destroyed his career because he was at his peak. I absolutely love Michael Essien !
that word. POWERHOUSE that's the word for him..
He later joined Jose in Madrid
Word
@@Grebzionk he was not the same player anymore. Mike was a serious powerhouse. Started as a central defender believe it or not. He was central defender for Ghana in the FIFA U17 WC in 1999 in New Zealand
That's a beast right there and a very nice honest guy, God bless him an his fem
"michael smiles with his eyes" - mourinho analyzes everything, love it
these are some of the reasons why i still love jose.. jose and essien were the reasons i became a chelsea fan watching from ghana! i also adored our striker drobga whose nation was just a couple of miles from where i lived
I think most Ghanaians and other African countries became Chelsea fans because of Drogba, Mikel, kalou and most especially ESSIEN. And When mourinho came to Chelsea that is when the club became more popular and also with the help of Russian money😁😁😁💯fact
Ad Max respect from a chelsea fan 👏👏✌I agree with ya
H
Sure. Essien was special. Didier too
@Ad Max Liverpool will win the league before United wins it again. In fact, they might win it a couple of times. It depends how long Pep stays at City.
ESSIEN was an absolute beast.
Richan Schmidt You got that one right
Richan Schmidt yup in his prime a complete cm and strong as fuck.
He was the yaya toures closest comparison
Man, this was surprisingly moving.
spiderferi Get a grip of yourself..about as emotional as toothache.
@@redkop510 i think you're the unstable one.
Essien looks very strange in that suit :D What a beast he was though. A proper box-to-box animal. No wonder his nickname was Bison.
extincti fugax hominum he was a great player not a beast or animal
Yeah he was a great player and that's why i said he was a "beast" and "animal". Can you really not found it out or are you bizarrely offended by that?
Did you want him to come out in a full Chelsea kit idiot
No but it wouldn't be an unfamiliar one as Chelsea had full kit wankers like yourself in John Terry, Bosingwa etc. would it?
extincti fugax hominum you shirt thing like you talk right way
He wasn’t my player. He is my son…This is so deep. There is a lot to love about this man.
He is a coach who carried his players in heart
Arsenal Fan here, Essien was total class and that goal against us to retain chelsea's unbeaten record was unbelievable.
Special team that was the Chelsea team of 2000s that Jose built. So much steel and industry there and can name leaders everywhere. Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Cole, Iva, Lamps, Ballack, Essein, Makelele, Drogba etc. Proper team that was. Jose has seen a downfall lately, but I as a Chelsea fan will always remember him with respect and fondness for his success with Chelsea bringin the club to elite level. And I really hope Jose will find success again at the top.
Ranieri put together the core of that team. He doesn't get the props he deserves.
That's what the current chelsea is missing tbh..... Leaders, characters
You can have talents in the squad but you need characters in crucial times or crucial games. Ever since that core group of lampard, terry, cech, drogba, ashley left the club it hasn't been the same. They've had success here and there but they also had abysmal seasons like 2015-16 season or the current season. Also you need characters in the finals.
You forgot to mention Drogba
@@gabrielaleactus9932 Unfortunately, football in general is missing "Leaders and characters", and not just Chelsea.
Thinking of the top teams between 1990 to 2010 in England, Spain, and Italy Versus the top teams of today is beyond crazy.
Pale and numb characters with mediocre and neutral social media personalities everywhere, and very little strong-minded (and technically gifted) loyal leaders within the pitch!
Michael Essien was a beast. Injuries cut his career short but brilliant player matching Vieira and Yaya Tourre in terms of command of midfield and energy.
This what Jose and his players can do for each other. If you show Jose your heart, he will make sure that it is worth more than diamonds. That's why he prefers players like McTominay. Ready to learn and obey his command at will, because this man truly knows football than most of the guys.
There is no other coach I would trust more to go & make tactical changes and win a game in the 2nd half.
Prashant Singh when’s the last time he played?
Every Monday who?
Prashant Singh The way Jose made tactical changes and made a comeback against that brilliant Man City side and win 3-2 after being 2 goals down was remarkable
Lmao mctominay. He doesn’t have half the character of the essiens lampards zlatans. Lmao this cracked me up keep it up please
@@TsotsiLife he's currently the best Man United player this season and been putting a more than decent shift every match getting plaudits from everyone. For his age he looks way matured and has that passion which Mou loved in him
Mourinho is just so human and true. A class act!
Right 😂😂😂
I will always love Mourinho no matter what.
Mourinho is a beautiful person! Who doesn't love Jose?
The stupids
Pogba.Ramos.
Idiots
I respect him
over sensitive beta males & batty boyz
The problem is very obvious when comparing the players in current era to 10+ years ago.. Back then, they are strong not only in football and skill, but also in mentality.
your telling the truth
Mourinho pours out his heart.
"Essien do you have any good Mourinho stories?"
"I remember playing shit, he came in half time, kicked everything in the dressing room and we won."
LOL
A true portuguese temper lol
😂😂
🤣
That sounds like Fergie.
Without his injuries, Essien would have dominated football. What a player. Simply magnificent.
Not far fetched I feel like you had to see/feel him in his era videos stats and history don’t tell you the whole story you know get the full sense of what Essien was he was like a KDB in defense midfield or like a more technical kante
Essien what a player..had everything you wanted and a heart💙
Wow Mourinho
You are the best if not the best
Mensah Mbro what the hell, man you're the best if not the best!😂😂
Client 47 I'm confused af😂😂😂
Client 47😂😂😂😂😂 these guys type as if they’re using google translate
Michael Essien is my all time best Ghanaian player and my best midfielder in the world 🌎🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭Jose God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
This damn onions
Hurts to see Mourinho in a Man UTD kit, nevertheless he will always be a legend for Chelsea
Spoon Syndrome Also Porto and Intermilan..
three premier league titles. That is indelible
Now at spurs, still a Chelsea legend?
Chelsea's fans did him dirty. That guy won them 3 premier league, made chelsea a well known club but they insulted him when he left. As a man utd fan we all love him. He needed more support from the boards at man utd. Sick and tired of man utd boards, they dont have the right direction to keep the club moving forward.
@@haziqsyafiq410 are you sure Manchester united fans love him? Because a lots of fan insults his tactics for parking bus and the player couldn't even execute very well, even in defenses or counter-attacks
The Special One has this mutual bond with his players and that's why they can do everything to get the results on the pitch....Big Shout out to JM 🙌💙💙
I love Jose’s relations with his players. If you work hard and battle, he will back you and push you to be the best player that you can be. He will fight for you and vice versa. It’s the reason why he loves Sonny so much now too, super hard work ethic and open to coaching, directness
Jose only wants men on the field like essien,lampard, sneijder etc not little boys like pogba
Exactly 👍
Ha...ha.... that virus baby boy... huh. I call him the betrayer ungrateful
he said that himself in the spurs documentary, he only respects players who give 100% on the pitch, everyone else he would rather be moved on. sadly some of the best players on the planet take their own talent for granted and hardly ever try 100%.
all 2010 inter's starting eleven men
I believe that. He has turn spurs from a bunch of good boys to aggressive and goal hungry men.
Great segment guys. Jose got it spot on with Essien. He would do anything for the team on the pitch. The Bison!. The game could use more players like him now
Essien is a beautiful man..
I remember when he was playing for Ghana in the African cup of nations held in Angola. He was playing against Ivory coast...he was seriously injured...he was quickly sent back to Chelsea for treatment...guess who knocked him out in that African cup: Drogba. I remember Michael on the pitch in deep pain...and could notice that Drogba felt very uneasy... it was not on purpose, things happen...(not saying his career was cut short because of Didier, he had previous injuries) but he fought it, later on playing for Real with his knee condition was heroic. He was a fighter. BIG MICHAEL.
That touching thing makes Jose Mourinho so special
Michael smiles a lot with his eyes ..
Only a father like figure can see this in a person.. Thats why jose is different as a coach and as a person.
Joses love is the kind of love I want. That's how u should b loved
Remember when Jose was mad at his players for boycotting Essien's birthday bash?
yeah at madrid
Yeah
Why did they boycott?
Cyril S yeh why did they do that?
It was in Madrid. They just weren’t that concerned. Only Modric and Ricardo Carvalho attended the party. Mourinho had to console Essien, saying it was nothing personal and that it didn't mean the players didn't like him but they simply were only concerned with themselves and had better things to do.
Michael Essien love from Poland! Always Chelsea!
Two extremes with Jose. On one side you could listen to him for hours, his human side, his positive relationships, the lengths that players will go through for him. But when things turn sour, good grief. You want to be as far away from him as possible. I'm a Chelsea fan and I adored Essien. He'd happily play anywhere without so much as a fuss. Left-back, centre-back, midfield..whatever. And a peak Essien was an absolute tank. No one could get through him.
Tbf this happens with most managers, but I do believe the negativity with Jose overhyped by the media
Hats off to Jose!!!
Inter Milan vs Barcelona
#Legendary
One thing i love about Mourinho is the love and attachment that he has with his players❤...very genuine guy💪🏿❤
Essien was one of the very best, from an Arsenal fan
robbieshaft he gave you guys something good in your net, do you remember that goal. Screaaaaamer!
@@geoffrey9856 that drive was splendiferous......wow
Essien, Makelele, and Vieira are my favorite player growing up. Those three are a hardworking beast in midfield.
its a bit racist to only pick black players....no Gerrard , Lamphard , Mascherano....i wouldn't dream of picking only white players...it says a lot about you...you probably don't even realise you're a racist
@@Frank75288 Wait what? Seriously? Just because i pick 3 black players, i suddenly became racist?
I grow up loving the Defensive Midfielder role. The three that i pick are more known because they have one of the best defensive skills and capabilities as a midfielder. Can you name a better DMF than those 3 between 2000-2008? The only name that pops out to me is Roy Keane, and i didn't pick him because i hate Manchester United under SAF because they seem unstoppable. And if you think i'm racist, that's fine, to each their own i guess. Just so you know, here's my all-time favorite team :
(4231) Cech, Maldini, Puyol, Cafu, Thuram, Makelele, Pirlo, Lampard, Nedved, Zidane, Ronaldo de Lima.
@@Frank75288 to be fair most players from African background are really good. So what racist about saying they better at those positions than white players. I mean physical, pace and mentality they mostly stronger. What racist about staying to the facts.
People forgot how good a player this guy was. A leader! The original Kante
Naah he was better than Kante
He could also pass and shoot
Timbone agreed. Even had better composure on the ball.
That would be Makelele.
Essien was humble, works hard, and always respected his teammates and manager. These days it's rare to find players like that, it's why Mourinho couldn't work at Man United. Full of players more concerned with their hair style and instagram than playing football
The special one. Jose
Jose is the best for me
There are 2 types of players Jose like the most. A hardworking one and also a utility player, someone who can play in multi role
It's beautiful :")
"He's my son " Jose Mourinho has a special place in Africa 🌍
The humble beast,,much love Essien, ,,respet to Mourinho
That's why they would die on the field for him... amazing
LEGEND
Essien was talented, strong and utterly committed. Unbelievable !
Love Jose he always stands by his players
I want to say that Essien has the best attitude I’ve ever seen as a player.
Also Dinho
"He is my son, Im his white daddy' 😂😂😂
Ur username n profile pic make it much more better
Qodesh Prophecy Snr dude he's trolling
😂😂😂
???
hahahaha jose is the boss !!!!
Essien was the first one to say this though. He said Mourinho was his white dad
Mourinho is special one in all sense. One of the greatest managers of all times and a super human being.
This is what martial and pogba need to evolve to. Especially marital! Mourinho is a master winer & he like to have players that he can trust more than just a footballer.
MICHAEL ESSIEN AND GATUSSO
HAS THE SAME MONSTER
MENTALITY.THEY ARE THE BEST
AND ENERGIC MIDFIELDERS IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL
I LIKE PLAYERS WHO ALWAYS
RUNS FOR THE BALL AND MAKE
AN OPPONENT LOOKS FATIQUE
Jose is a father figure to all of his player.
Essien one of the best CDM ever to play the game
The best Coach ever
Both Jose Mourinho Michael Essien are so genuine and dedicated to their calling and to each other, it gives me goosebumps. Total respect!
I always shared tears
Wen I ever watched this video
I love jose
To bless Jose and his entire family
Macho love from Ghana
Essien is our own
The way he said Michael instead of essien , somehow touched my heart. The special on ❤.
That's why u are the special one Jose
More than the trophies, this is what Mourinho has earned. Indeed a special one❤
I met this guy years ago in Nike town Oxford Street and the guy was so humble it was unreal...
I always wished he came to United instead of Chelsea but much love and respect to Michael Essien...
.... THAT goal against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge !!! ... bound for the net from the moment it left his foot. What a superb player. Nuff Respect
Cech Ferreira carvalho Terry Cole lampard essien ballack makelele Mike drogba shevshenko fukin legends
John Izzy 12
Legend is playing with 12 players
Dr Franco i never said as a squad im talking individual players
U forgot W.Gallas during his prime at Chelsea. That man was the Rock.
llen Star he was a rat tho
Probably the most underrated midfielder ever. What an insaaaaneee player he was, especially in the Ghana national team
Essien is a gem
This made me fall for Jose.. Ghana is a beautiful place.. Come and express it.
Great player at his peak and everything you'd want from a box to box midfielder. Big, powerful, strong with very good skills and vision. He would be worth some serious money in this current climate.
Seriously...... over 24 million back then. most expensive African player.
he has got everything you will need in a player. a complete package he is.
Incredible midfielder world class
That was awesome
Beautiful man José great
From an Arsenal fAN Big Big Respect to Mourinho and Essien(but Essien that's a long time I had it)
What a thing to hear. From anyone. Can you imagine someone saying those things about you on television? Depth of Love right there.
Michael was a great servant to chelsea
Essien! one of the very best ( Arsenal fan)
Zlatan: I can kill for jose mourinho
I'm fcb fan..but I respect j.mourihnio in every aspect..he really is the chosen one..
Michael Essien: The engine of Chelsea! :)
Class act that Jose mourinho
Much love ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
How wonderful, Jose IS special, i have so much respect for him as a person and manager. Essien was loved by everybody at Chelsea and is a truly gifted defensive midfielder (One of the best), but Jose words were humble and touching. Klopp has the same relationships with his players and staff, Always makes time to get to know people. This is the secret of football management, be that 12th man. Gain the respect of the players and the fans they will do everything for the manager and team.... From a die hard Liverpool fan of 47 years, mentality is key to everything in football.
Very touching ❤️
Simply one of the best player in the history of the game. Thanks Essien for gracing the field of play; I wish you were still doing it.
I watch some of his highlights at persib and wow, he is still good on the ball, still breath taking passes with great vision tho he isn't tackling as hard as he use to.
Two of the best Persons Football as ever seen. Best Regards from Portugal! ❤
Jose before being a Manager is a true Leader!
Michael was some player, and a lovely lovely guy, a human being of the highest order, lovely tribute, and deserved from Jose
I can feel the emotional in Jose he really had a great time with Michael Essien Am happy for both of them😂😁
Such a beautiful message ❤
We Ghanaians love ❤️ you more Jose🇬🇭💙❤️💙
That's why I love jose. Always special one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jose Mouriniho is in my top 5 mangers.
Essien is one of my favorite midfielder. He has everything as midfielder.
