What exactly does a person need to have in order to be successful?

I believe that this is the mystery of the Tao that everyone in the world is eager to know, because everyone is eager to succeed and to be successful forever.

However, the successful experience expounded by every successful person will always belong to him alone, and cannot be applied to others.

It has been said that success can be replicated, but Mourinho is convinced that success cannot be replicated.

It's as if in this world we live in, there will always be only one Jose Mourinho

On 05/04/04, at 35:36 p.m., Mourinho looked at the watch on his left wrist and remembered the time, believing that he would never forget this day and this moment.

At the moment when the whistle blew, he covered his mouth and tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't let the howl in his heart go out, because he had always hoped that he could show himself in front of everyone with the strongest image.

But today, at this moment, there is no way, no reason, to stop himself from crying.

At this time a year ago, with doubts and pressure, he led the sluggish Porto all the way to the UEFA Cup final and successfully won the UEFA Cup, but at that time no one knew him, and no one cared about this nobody from Portugal.

So much so that when it came to the UEFA draw ceremony at the beginning of this season to present the awards, many people couldn't help but raise their doubts in their hearts when they saw Mourinho snatching the Coach of the Year award from Ye Qiu's hands, Jose Mourinho? Who is it? Why?

At that moment, he kept telling himself in his heart that it was not important for them to doubt, the important thing was to fight for himself.

His experience has never been smooth, and there have been bumps and bumps along the way, from being an assistant to famous coaches, to the defeat after coaching alone, and finally being ousted from the stage and encountering a trough, all of which made him cherish the honor and achievements he has now.

And until now, he once again led Porto to the Champions League final, which is the second consecutive year that he has reached the final of European competitions, this result even Ye Qiu has never had back then, and he has an impulse now, he wants to ask those who looked down on him at the beginning, and felt that he was not worthy of those Coach of the Year awards, am I worthy?

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, such a question is silly, but in Mourinho's opinion, he is willing to put in millions of times the effort and sweat to ask this sentence, because he thinks it is worth it

If you ask Mourinho what you are doing to be successful, he will not tell you the real reason, he will only tell you that I was born to be a successful person, but that is a false mask, and he knows very well in his bones that his success comes from low self-esteem.

Low self-esteem is not a derogatory term in many cases, on the contrary, it can be a positive term, because low self-esteem can ⊥ people clearly see their own shortcomings, make people become humble, become more self-motivated, and become more desired.

The most terrible thing for a person is that he can't see himself clearly, and that will make you lose yourself in the jungle of this world.

From the moment he took charge of Porto, Mourinho was very, very determined about his goal, which was to succeed

He is eager to succeed, he even wants to be the most successful person in this world, surpassing anyone else, and not allowing anyone to be more successful than him, so he is crazy, he is proud, but he is never lost, because he always knows clearly where he should be and where he should go.

President da Costa once jokingly asked, "José, do you know why I chose you to take over Porto in the first place?" ”

"It's because you are realistic enough, you are the same as me in your bones, you are realists, we only accept success, we do not accept failure, as long as we can succeed, we can even do whatever it takes."

"The reason why you have suffered failures in so many clubs, and even fell to the bottom for a while, but you succeeded in Leiria and Porto, is because you understand this truth, this world is very cruel and realistic, and only people who are more realistic than it are qualified to conquer it"

Although Mourinho doesn't like da Costa, he can't wait to escape from da Costa's control, but he has to admit that he was deeply influenced by Da Costa, and even many times he is a little unclear whether these ideas are his own, but they have not been discovered, or whether Da Costa has been instilled in him bit by bit through a series of events.

That old man is so terrible, so terrible that you obviously resist, but you don't dare to be afraid of him

But at this moment, at the Riazor Stadium, the moment the whistle blew at the end of the game, Mourinho suddenly saw the hope of breaking free from the shackles, and he finally saw that there was no longer darkness in front of him, but a light blooming.

It was the dawn he had been waiting for for a long, long time, and he had fought for it all his life

So, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and weep and cry

Countless fans in the stands of the Stadio Riazor saw the scene, but for the Deportivo fans, they had no feeling for the young coach from Portugal at all, and their mood was immersed in the gloom of the team's upset by their opponents.

Only Jorge Mendes, the shrewd guesser, can relate to Mourinho's feelings.

There are actually many things that the two are very similar, for example, they are both of average origins, for example, they are often unable to fully make decisions about themselves and their careers, for example, they both believe in a very realistic pragmatism.

No one knows better than Mendes what Mourinho has done to get to where he is today, and no one knows better than Mendes the hardships that Mourinho has made it to where he is today.

Da Costa has said to Mendes that Mourinho is not strictly a good manager.

'He doesn't have the agility and savvy tactical sense that a good manager should have, he doesn't have the tactical innovation to bring to a team, he's not a thinker, he's not even a clever tactical designer, so he's going to fail, but I'm confident he's going to succeed."

"He's not a master tactician, but that doesn't mean he's not good, on the contrary, his tenacity and fighting spirit make him an excellent motivator and team builder, and in doing so, build a team with a tenacious fighting spirit."

"You know, in fact, to beat an opponent on the football field, the tactics don't have to be complicated, you don't have to be smarter than the opponent, sometimes the simplest and most direct way is the most effective way, and he just needs to learn this to succeed, which is why I arranged for him to go to Leiria."

"Idealism, personal dreams, are too extravagant for this realistic world"

And later, the young man, who was sent to Leiria by da Costa, did not long become the savior of Porto.

It's the same set of tactics, it's the same lineup, but he led Porto out of the trough.

Sometimes, Mendez wonders, could it be that we always think too much about the world, when in fact he is very simple, but we are too clever to think about ourselves?

It's like this game against Deportivo La Coruna, 00 at home was forced to draw by Deportivo La Coruna, many people helped Mourinho design countless away tactics, some tactics are very complex and targeted, but Mourinho is useless, just use the trick he is best at, defensive counterattack, and Deportivo fell.

Hearing some Porto fans at the scene shouting the name of the goal-scorer, Brazilian striker Delle, it seems that Mourinho regarded the Brazilian striker who had just returned from injury as a miracle, but in fact, even if it is not Delle, McCarthy, it is still Porto to win, because this world is so simple

But Mendes couldn't help but think of the one at Chelsea again, the one Mourinho didn't want to hear or mention.

He's weird because he's never seemed to want to repeat himself, from Ajax's constant innovation to Chelsea, his whole tactical system and style has changed a lot, he's undoubtedly a great master tactician, he has a very keen sense of the tactical system, and he's always leading the way.

Unlike Mourinho's insistence on using pragmatic tactics, Ye Qiu has always adhered to his tactical philosophy, that is, control, and control is often a very complex thing that requires a large and cumbersome system engineering to maintain.

The two are arguably very different, but they are so successful, that Mendes is very interested in the next Champions League final, because in his opinion, it is more like a collision of two football philosophies.

"I will definitely beat Ye Qiu in the final and beat Chelsea" Compared with Mendes's expectations, Mourinho looked a little impatient, and when asked by reporters about Chelsea, who is most likely to meet Ye Qiu in the final, the Portuguese almost did not hesitate to say that he believed that he would win.

"I will tell everyone with the facts that Ye Qiu and Chelsea are not as strong as they imagined, and this is not only a Champions League final for me and Porto, but also a battle for ourselves"

Although Mourinho did not say what to justify his name, everyone speculated that it had something to do with a series of events in the past.

A day later, Jose Mourinho and Mendes were spotted at Stamford Bridge in London.

There wasn't really much suspense in this match between Chelsea and Monaco.

Sitting at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho felt that the more than 40,000 Blues fans at Stamford Bridge did not look like they were watching the game at all, but like they were coming to celebrate, as if they were confident that the team would be able to reach the final.

The situation did not disappoint the crowd of Blues fans who came to the stadium either, with Chelsea scoring from the start, with Ronaldinho opening the scoring with a beautiful breakthrough from the opener, the Brazilian who has been the best performer in the Champions League this season.

After taking the lead, Chelsea's fans were more like a holiday, constantly cheering and shouting in the stands, celebrating like crazy, and even many elderly people couldn't help but burst into tears, pasting their faces full of paint.

"Didn't you say that the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was bad?" Mourinho's brows furrowed, a little confused.

This is what he said from the report, I heard that Ye Qiu was not satisfied with the atmosphere at Chelsea's home stadium, but now it seems that the Stamford Bridge is full, the emotions of the fans are also very excited, and the atmosphere on the scene is very hot and enthusiastic, how can it be considered bad?

Mendes, who was sitting next to him, shook his head, he didn't know what was going on.

Just then, a Chelsea fan in a blue shirt sitting next to them laughed, 'You're the manager of Porto, right?' Did you come to us to spy on the military? ”

Mourinho was disguised today, but he was still recognized, a little surprised, and a little frightened.

At the end of the day, this is Chelsea's turf, and if Chelsea fans do something to his future rival, don't say anything else and just beat him up, then he can't help it, so it's inevitable to worry.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill will," said the old Englishman Haruha with a smile.

As soon as he said this, seeing that his expression was very relaxed, and there was no sign of shouting, Mourinho was a little relieved.

"Do you know the truth? In the history of London football, no London team has ever reached the Champions League final, Mr. Ye Qiu said, we will be the first London team to reach the Champions League final, and we will also be the first London team to win the European Cup, we have no doubt," said the senior England fan confidently.

Mourinho and Mendes both looked at each other, a little surprised, in their impression, London football has always been a very prosperous concept, because there are the most Premier League teams in England, but what they didn't expect is that London has not yet reached the Champions League final, which is indeed a bit surprising.

After all, Liverpool has had the Liverpool Red Army dynasty, Manchester has also had Manchester United's peak, Birmingham's Aston Villa has also won the Champions League, and even cities like Nottingham and Leeds have had teams win the Champions League or reach the final, but only London, England and even the largest and most prosperous city in the United Kingdom have never had such an experience, which has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of London fans

It is important to know that in the United Kingdom, the status of football is comparable to faith, and the fact that London teams have not won the Champions League and reached the Champions League final has always been a major means for fans in other cities and regions to ridicule London fans, which is a scar for London.

But now, Ye Qiu is leading this Chelsea team to make up for this scar.

"Do you think there's a lively atmosphere here today?" The old man in England asked with a smile, but before Mourinho answered, he said first, "When the game is over, you can take a look around, go to the city of London, it will be a hundred times more lively than now, if you can win the Champions League, the city will definitely go crazy"

After saying this, the old man in England himself laughed, and seemed to be very complacent about this.

Mourinho and Mendes glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes, which is the last point of self-satisfaction, which makes the elderly England fan look more like an English fan, always with a little incomprehensible pride.

But just when Mourinho and the others laughed at the fan in their hearts, the fan said something that made Mourinho very embarrassed, making him almost burst into flames.

"Mr Mourinho, if you think that if you come to Stamford Bridge as an enemy and we will do you a disservice, then you are overestimating yourself and underestimating us too much, do you really think that no one else will recognise you? No, we all know you, it's just that no one wants to pay attention to you. “

'For us, it's cowardly to go to the football pitch and hurt you in the stands, that's because of the lack of confidence to beat you on the football pitch, but we're not, we have a lot of confidence in the team and will definitely beat you and your Porto in the Champions League final'

"Because, you are not as powerful as our Ye Qiu"

If the first few sentences made Mourinho a little embarrassed, and he felt that he was a bit of a villain's heart, then the last sentence made him almost scolded, because no one dared to say that he was inferior to Ye Qiu in front of him like this.

"Then I'll tell you, I'm going to knock him down," Mourinho fought back.

The elderly Chelsea fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll talk about it when you do, by the way, my name is Ron Hawkins, I've been a Chelsea fan and season ticket holder since I was a kid, I'm going to go to Schalke and I'm going to see you lose."

"Fart" Mourinho scolded, and Yu Crisp didn't bother to talk nonsense with this kind of person.

Ron Hawkins stood up with a smile, ignoring that Mourinho was next to him, shouting loudly, "Come on, Chelsea, Ye Qiu"

"Reach the final and win the championship"

Seeing his fanatical expression, which was completely inconsistent with his age, Mourinho sat in the stands, looking up at him, but his heart was even more determined, he would definitely win, and after winning, he must show this guy named Ron Hawkins that Ye Qiu, whom he trusted, was a loser, a complete loser

But Mourinho's wish that Ye Qiuyin overturned the ship did not materialize, because Deschamps and his Monaco did not show much tenacious fighting will after losing 03 at home, on the contrary, their away game looked more like a defensive counterattack, just to save face and not let themselves lose so badly.

Ronaldinho's goal in the first half and Deco's goal in the second half finally helped Chelsea beat Monaco 0 and eliminated the Ligue 1 giants from the Champions League with an aggregate score of 0 and successfully reached the Champions League final.

Mourinho rose from his seat the moment the referee blew the final whistle and the result was not a surprise, with Ronaldinho as good as ever, Deco as consistent as ever and Frank Lampard as hard as ever despite not scoring

The Chelsea side were as consistent and controlled as ever, and nothing came as a surprise to Jose Mourinho.

I don't know what the road is about, but the Portuguese always feel as if they are missing something.
