Why do people expect managers to be at their best forever? They have their peak just like a footballer then that’s it.
Mourinho is done, has been for many many years. I don’t think Max went full Mourinho yet but the possibility is real. I think the fact this club has been falling down the hill for the last 3-4 seasons is playing a big part as well. He should’ve gone to Madrid when he had momentum on his side.
I think it's because some people get attached emotionally to the events in the past which made them happy. For example, when Max led us two times to almost a CL glory and so many consecutive titles in seria a.
They get nostalgic and romantic about these times to the level that they will justify any current slip ups with other reasons than Max for example.
- Yes we miss Chiesa and Dybala, but it's not like we were collecting maximum points with them on the pitch.
- Yes, we don't have Pogba, Pirlo and Vidal but that doesn't mean that you deprive your current players of going forward and force them to defend deep every game. There's absolutely no player in this world not dreaming about going forward and scoring goals. After all, that's what football is about in its essence.
I'd rather stay lucid and try to come up with solutions than get attached to the past glory like the average Inter fan screaming the same words whenever they lose -
"but but but we won the Tripleta."
