Jose Mourinho's playing style / philosophy (self.reddevils)

isweariamnotlyingRachel Riley が 投稿

I have been trying to understand tactics of the game a lot more recently and had a question if anyone could help me with.

Most of the top coaches seem to have a style of play or philosophy which they try to implement wherever they manage. For example - Pep and LVG obsess over possession, Klopp has his gene / counter pressing, Ferguson liked playing with wingers or counter attacking football, Tony Pulis has his long balls, etc. What I want to know is that is there a particular style of play which you would associate with Mourinho. I know he is known for his parking the bus / counter attacking tactics in big games, but what about rest of the games?

The reason I am asking is if you look at any successful manager, you could easily point out a specific style of play associated with them but not Mourinho. Mourinho seems to adapt his playing style to suit the personnel rather than the other way around. I am probably wrong and would love to understand his tactics if anyone could explain them.

Once I saw Pobga set at CDM I knew he was trying to put too much on Ibra and believing in Rooney to hold the middle, with Fellaini.

Choke out and neutralize their greatest threats and pounce on any mistakes. When it works it works brilliantly and completely leads to a dominant win, when it doesn't well...first half vs City.

The best way I can think to describe it is pragmatic. I remember seeing that said somewhere and it really hitting the nail on the head. He doesn't commit to a specific style of play (tactically) and stick to that. This is where the "parking the bus" claims come from. When it is important for his team to secure a result he will sit back and absorb pressure and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack. This is as opposed to exposing his defense by attacking relentlessly. Against weaker teams he will send out his side to dominate play and attack more because there is less risk of a weaker side punishing his team for attacking.

Mourinho's "philosophy" has always been one about being hard to beat. Building a team with disciplined players who know the strict importance of defending. His big tactical shift came when he started playing a 4-3-3 against teams which for the most part played 4-4-2.

Having Makelele in that Chelsea midfield helped bring out the best of a talented midfield and attack. When he went to Madrid, because he was under the pressure of the supporters to play offensive football, he switched the triangle, ditching the old defensive midfielder for a playmaker. That was essentially the beginning of the 4-2-3-1 which is so popular today, he refined it more, but even then, it was close to a 4-4-2 on the counter because he just gave Ronaldo so much freedom, albeit, when he had to defend, they defended in the 4-5-1. Inter was similar to Madrid because he had to adapt his side to use all of his talent in Sneijder, Eto'o, Zlatan for a year.

The ultimate reality is that managers build their play style. LVG had the 4-1-4-1 and was most comfortable with the ball, Mourinho doesn't mind counterattacking because he knows that by playing with pace up front chances will come.

Mourinho isn't some Pulis or Allardyce type counterattacking manager, because he's always left place for strong attacking talents in his teams. He has been good around building strong talents, Deco, Lampard and Robben, Ronaldo and Di Maria, Eto'o and Sneijder, and Hazard and Fabregas.

For the remaining 11, he likes fall physical players. Generally used to play a strong pressing game in his half, and being the pragmatic coach he is, he never shies away from winning matches on set pieces if he feels he needs to.

Defend deep, avoid conceding and leave the attacking third to individual talent of players.

He doesn't really have one.

And that is precisely the problem at the moment.
