What happened to Mourinho? I am not surprised someone managed to outsmart him or defeat him with a lesser squad these things happen but what happened to Mourinho the character? In the old days Mourinho was THE coach that motivates his squads to the max, takes all the pressure on himself and away from his players no matter what happens on the pitch and always gave the impression that a loss is just a blip in a series of wins. Today he is a changed man. Whenever things go wrong he blames his players publicly. Whenever things go wrong you get a sense of crisis instantly after the defeat. No more do people think a Mourinho led team will always bounce back. One mistake and he, along with his players, appear as very vulnerable and in crisis. All the internal conflicts become public knowledge and instead of taking the entire blame on himself to relieve his players from the pressure he now puts the entire pressure on the players, absolves himself and publicly calls out every player who does not perform. I think its not Mourinho's tactics that have become defeated, its Mourinho the man. His tactics are not obsolete, he rather evolved into a character type that cant handle the pressure of defeat. He regressed as a man not as a tactician.
