I am a AC Milan fan, but I have to admit that Inter Milan side of 2009/10 was among the best ever football teams I have ever seen, they had the perfect squad.
Milan fan too, we have always had the better squads but we have to give our cousin massive respect for doing something we couldn't, winning the treble.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 more Mourinho that Mourinho. I guess its right. All of the player had been in torment since earlier 2000 in serie A by Juve. Haunted by Milan in UCL. They wanted to win more than Mourinho.
Real football fans wont forget Milito. He wasnt a playrr for this phrase, he won everything that season but he was snubbed by FIFA because this team beat Barcelona. He did not even make the final 30 players list. A disgrace
@@miguelporras8366are you serious? What he did for Argentina? They have to count every possibility to list out best and Millito didn’t fit on that. Best player is not given to team but to individual and Robben was far better than him. Messi, Ronaldo, how can you forget them? They didn’t win but individually they are better
Milito, Snejider, Eto'o, Maicon, Lucio, Cambiasso, Pandev, Materazzi, Julio Cesar, Samuel, Thiago Motta, Stankovic, Balotelli 😭😭😭😭😭 Footballers from different walks of life who had different careers who were brought together to create history with a manager like Mourinho who was in rare form and achieved the impossible: AN ITALIAN TREBLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was nothing more than a JIGSAW PUZZLE that needed a craftsmen and the victories where nothing more than a FAIRYTALE. The players, manager, backroom staff all the way to the president were brought together to conquer everything in their path. This TEAM had everything it needed to succeeded and allowed their flaws to be fully expressed by correcting them with each and every performance.
That was the most complete and balanced squad I've ever seen. Mixture of experience and youth. Skill and work ethic. Amazing camaraderie and absolutely clinical. Best 11 ever compiled as a unit. Phenomenal
You are wrong saying that was the best 11, the primary criteria of that team was it's depth. Everyone could be subbed at anytime, and if someone underperformed they were off to the bench no matter who.
The first leg game vs Barcelona is probably the best counterattack masterclass ever seen. He planned that game thoroughly and beat them. Yes, one goal was offside, but Inter could have scored more than that also. Everytime a Barcelona player had the ball, they had 2 players closing every passing line and another man marking. And Inter attacked space on the counter relentlessly. Guardiola was outlcassed in both legs... defending 10 vs 11 for 70 minutes against that brilliant team and managing to limit them to 3 dangerous shots was absolutely phenomenal
Yep the goal was in offside, but 1 time for offside and 1 for a faul (all 2 not real) stop milito and eto’o 1v1 vs valdes in 1 half on 0-0…and in the second half of 1st leg the elbow of messi broke 2 teeth of maicon and if motta’s one (in the 2nd leg) was red card that was at least a ban for a season 😂😂😂
@@miguelporras8366not barca fan but y forgot how barca were tired bcz of that volcano éruption? And what about the inter offside and bojan denied real goal? Barca was robbed in the match. They even destroyed inter in the same season in the group stage
@@willg1088 Bojan' goal was preceded by a Toure hanball. Pique was offside. Barcelona tired because of a volcano eruption? Sure, they travelled with no comfort in a damaged vehicle, and slept in muddy hotels. They had a real oddisey arriving to Milan. Yes, Inter scored one goal in offside. With the game 0-0, Milito was wrongly ruled offside twice when he was one on one with the goalkeeper. And if you actually watched the game, you would know that Inter outplayed them. It is available here in RUclips
@@willg1088 sitting your ass on a modern pullman wears people out now? "Barca was robbed in the match. " First leg, 0-0, wrong offside with Milito alone in front of the keeper. Then another bad call by the referee for an foul with Eto'o alone in front of the keeper again. On the 2nd leg, the wrong ejection of Motta. I agree that the referees were bad, but they damaged both teams. "They even destroyed inter in the same season in the group stage" And? The team was fresh, the key players weren't playing together for long. Far inferior teams than Barca gave Inter problems in the first half of the season.
What a team that was! Also I remember when they offered 46mil and Etto for Zlatan and thinking that was an absolutely mental transfer. Etto was unreal.
It’s one of the greatest deals ever, they got Eto’o, Hleb and the 46 millions $ for Zlatan. That means that basically Eto’o’s salary was paid for the two years he was with them. Then Inter made $ winning the treble and selling jerseys. In the second year they finished second in Serie A but won the Coppa and the World championship which was as coveted as the champion’s league by ownership. Finally, they sold Eto’o to Anzhi were he went on to become the highest paid player for two years. It is I believe one of the greatest piece of business ever… Real Madrid acquiring CR7 was similar. They got him from Man U for 100 millions, won everything, made millions with his likeness and sold him a decade later to Juve for…100 millions… just incredible impeccable business…⚽️❗️
He also brought order to Real Madrid that was one of the heaviest underperforming team of all time. I believe he had a major role in La Decima and 3 consecutive CL wins for Madrid. He wasn't the one lifting the trophy, so the quality of his job weren't hyped enough for season fans to understand.
3:26 fun fact about this clip. Maicon wanted to get a yellow card so he would be suspended for the next match to travel to Brazil to spend the hollydays with his family. Mourinho told him that if he scored twice he would be OK with it, otherwise they wouldn't allow him to leave Italy. Thinking he was safe and there was no way he would be able to... So after scoring his second goal Maicon took his shirt off so he would get a yellow card.
Any day, Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan, Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester, Porto are always the stories of transforming ordinary teams and men into invincible world champions. Respect to the Special One!!!
Yeah people overlooked his achievements at Madrid, but they forget Mourinho Madrid walked so current Madrid could run, before he arrived Madrid was a mess for years...
I was crazy about Milan back then, but I'll say, I watched pretty much all Inter games that season (I never did that before or after that season), it was the first time I saw Mourinho managing a team and I absolutely fell in love (I still consider him one of the goats to this day). That game against Barcelona also started my profound h.@.t.3. for them and especially for Busquets lmao Also Milito is the most underrated Argentine striker of all time, often forgotten and, in my opinion, better than most names people do remember.
Beautifully made, thank you. The Ibra-Eto'o transfer went down in history as the most brilliant ever made by Inter and probably among the top ones in European football history. While I completely agree on the comments I read here about Il Principe and Wesley both being Balon d'Or material that season, I have always thought the Eto'o was the determining factor. He was just the archetypical player you want to have to win the big stuff, he had just scored in the previous CL final, he was one of the greatest strikers of his generation and his mindset and carisma were exactly what we needed. And the fact that he accepted to play on the left side and give Milito the center of the attack was a special validation and a sign of commitment to the cause that meant everything (and showed that Ibra of was in fact one of the problems keeping us from getting to the top both in terms of ability to score clutch goals in CL and his personality/leadership). We should have paid 46 millions to Barcelona in that transfer...
This is when Mourinho took a group of old men from dominating their own league to European success. Mourinho was just about to hit his peak at Inter Milan before joining Madrid.
This Inter was epic in every competition, not just UCL. I remember watching every game , there was a lot of bad decisions from the referee in the league and they managed to win games anyway, sometimes with 2 man sent off, it was crazy. They were a solid team on the pitch, had a lot of quality, but what i loved the most is that they had a unique warrior mentality, never gave up, they fought for every ball, worked as a unit, and made you believe they would come out victorious, no matter the odds.
Despite me being a AC Milan fan I still love Mourinho's Inter Milan squad and despite me being an Arsenal fan I still love Mourinho's Chelsea squad. Mourinho is the goat.
@@dead3ye209 he isnt tho, juve is still strong, napoli is strong, inter is strong, psg is strong, barca is strong, bayern is strong, Atletico and real madrid are strong, chelsea is strong, man city is strong... Idk but that is quite a few strong teams and I am sure I am missing some....
@@ysbrandd He is still kind of wrong. There is a gap in terms of qualities between teams. 1 team is usually way stronger than the other now. There is no way Napoli would atleast win against Man City these days. Chelsea is getting fucked up too
The greatest Treble I have ever seen, Mourinho deserves it, if only he had stayed in Inter Milan, the Inter club and Mourinho were perfect for each other.
Bruv, that team was made for Mourinho and not once did internal/external influences deter them from their mission. Most importantly, Moratti knew when to step in and offer advice but he respected Jose and vice versa. It's almost as if GOD brought all these people together to create an Italian Miracle in a league which was losing its luster in the latter years.
Mourinho doesn't like sticking around for too long at a club and he wanted to leave every club he managed on a high. The so-called least seasons at the other clubs hes managed at other was mainly due to fatigue, boardroom shenanigans, dressing room bust-ups and the lot. Today's footballers are too coddled and the managers aren't tuned in to what it means to be a MANAGER, not just a coach who discusses tactics to his players, but one who could offer motivation and guidance when need be and kick up the backside.
Mourinho wanted to win in every major domestic league with the Champions League. He already did it in Portugal and Italy. I know he's itching to win one with a English club.
Mourinho's teams are living proof that a strong defense and a solid counterattack can beat any other strategy. His Inter squad was the epitome of this. They faced all kinds of teams, playing totally different styles of football and he managed to neutralize them all. This was especially enlightning at the time when they faced Barcelona, previously thought unbeatable. But his tactics forced Barça to play anything but the only brand of football they knew, which was tiki taka. The catalans perfected that tactic so much that they would absolutely crumble whenever they were forced to play any other way, something that would start to happen more frequently before the formal end of the tiki taka era.
I remember the final so well, I was so happy not only because I already adored Mourinho at Chelsea in the years before, but because as a Dortmund fan I wouldn't have begrudged Bayern this title either. That night, Milito earned a place in my heart forever.
This is the best football narration I've ever watched Especially the ending, I almost shed tear, so emotional The background music, the selected footage, the words and tonality of the narrator... Damn, everything is so perfect I'm subscribing
How the hell didn't Milito win the Balon D"or that season? All his goals were hugely important to a treble season. Seems a little ridiculous that a CF with a 30 goal season didn't even get a top 3 finish.
They were men!!!!real men!!!!all of them!!!!that was theyre strong point!!! mentally unstoppable and talent....and all the new signings had something to prove!
Sneijder even had a fantastic World Cup, where Messi fell short. Messi had 1 assist and 0 goals. It's debatable really, Messi had a great individual year.
Maybe but, let's be honest if you know futbol he left the team almost built for the next coaches,he is the one who beat Barca a couple of times, something that the coaches before him couldn't, after JM came the champions league and other trophies 👍, I can guarantee you if Ancelloti or Zidane took that team at that time it will be a disaster years for both of them.
How football has changed! You could see passion for the game from both players and the manager. They accepted and fought for Mourinho wholeheartedly. Great accomplishment by the team!
Absolutely I am a chelsea fan specially the squad he built for us in 2004/05 but this inter squad was scary.... that defense with Lucio , motta along with Stankovic, Eto , Wesley and Milito upfront was magnificent ❤
Superb Video! That Inter squad was filled with warriors like jose loves. Enjoyed this era alot. Though was extremely sad at that time how he was sacked after winning two Premier league titles back to back. But happy he did ever so well in Inter with a treble. Always a Jose fan! Respect Respect Respect!
Dude... 13:34 that was The best Palermo ever in Serie A. We were a beautiful team to watch, with impressive future top players. People say we gave an exotic flavour to the league. See you in the years to come 💓🖤🦅
There is no more Positive " Adjectives" to describe the Genious of José Mourinho. He's the most Important and Influential Football Manager of the New Millennium. And also a Very Successfull One.Won everything at Team Level several Times,some with Teams that nobody would bet 1 cent to win. But He's Complete Knowledge of the Game,puts him one step ahead of the competition. Mourinho Rules,do you like it or not.
Was waiting for this video, man! Our best season ever, no way i could ever forget it! What a ride, from start to finish! Seeing that footage of Mourinho and Materazzi crying in the end had me tear up again! Incredible, the Treble I will never forget! 💙🖤
This Inter Milan team was a defensive masterpiece and as Bayern München Fan....it was a worthy opponent. We weren't ready yet....as a Lothar Matthäus Fan and because of him and Giovanni Trapattoni a Inter Milan friend....this final wasn't soul crushing like the Manchester United disaster. Inter Milan had a incredible experienced and defensively sound mixture of players....some knew this might be the last time they get this far. And a coach that is known to be a tactical master. They deserved this title as much as FC Bayern München did. Inter also made some intelligent transfers....Bayern München letting Lucio go made me actually upset - he was the last elite Libero....full of passion and fighting spirit. I also think Thiago Motto was a fantastic all-rounder. Great team....and probably the only team we lost against without me throwing remotes enraged....
I remember hating Mourinho with a passion when he managed Chelski, as a life-long Manchester United fan, but when he left, I started to appreciate what he has accomplished. Yes, I hated his guts for his arrogance. But it was one of his core attributes that made him, well, special. Truly one of the GOAT managers. And that Inter team, what an amazing assembly of talented, hard working players that complimented each other so well. The stand outs for me were Milito, Sneijder and Pandev.
I’ve been a Barca fan of years and watching those games and seeing Barcelona beaten as they were over two legs was crazy to me. I gained such a respect for that team and Milito became my favorite Inter player and for good reason, dude was CLUTCH. Glad I’ve been alive to see both teams achieve history
It was the team spirit that won them all of that more than their talents. Mourinho was able to create in them that feeling and make his players feel taller than they actually are to the point that they believed him and performed accordingly.
Amazingly put together video btw. I remember the day of the champions league final, the weather was amazing in the UK and we were down the beach. I ended up bumping into an inter fan and have a great conversation about the team and games. I was made up they won it, I'd seen many of their games that season and it was hard not to fall in love with that team.
Yes it was... the only great hfighlight he did in his carreer and it wasnt in defence, where he was often awful and needed help from real top players like Busquets, Puyol or Mascherano... ut it was an obvious offside. The
Pure genius, by a club, by a coaching staff, recruiting staff, management staff, medical staff, hospilatility staff, by players, by own, by everyone, every single person in a club. GOLDEN SEASON ! And ofc, pure genius stuff from our mr. Jose. Thanks to all. I was almost 15 at the time. THANKS.
I'm very proud of Cristian Chivu as I'm from the same city he is RESITA, ROMANIA 🇷🇴 In fact as a kid I've played for hid dad's club CSM Resita almost 23 years ago. I am 37 now and never made it pro but i have no regrets 😊 because of Chivu i am an Inter Milan fan for life
the fact that milito didn’t get top 5 in ballon dor rankings is crazy
It's a popularity contest and has no real merit imo.
He wasn't even nominated in Ballin d'or. Drogba said it best " Football players get voted by their journalist friends".
he was not nominated in top 30 lol
Bonkers that's what that was. It just proves most people don't understand the game.
Did he really deserve it??
Milito that season is probably one of the most impressive striker seasons ever. Up there with drogba just clutch goal after clutch goal
Insanely clutch
He scored 18 goals that won a game or drew it that season
Absolutely Clutch!
Reminds me of Benzema during 21/22 season
Oh... yes... Messi on the other hand is crap
I am a AC Milan fan, but I have to admit that Inter Milan side of 2009/10 was among the best ever football teams I have ever seen, they had the perfect squad.
Ya it really was a fantastic team
Well it's decent. But Van Basten, Gullet, Rijkaard, Baresi, Maldini. 88/89/90 My God.
Milan fan too, we have always had the better squads but we have to give our cousin massive respect for doing something we couldn't, winning the treble.
It was decent at best. It was the special one
@gigasubhuman no team on this era cant endure that kind of physical defense tactic of that time either.

I remember the final so well, I was so happy not only because I already adored Mourinho at Chelsea in the years before, but because as a Dortmund fan I wouldn't have begrudged Bayern this title either. That night, Milito earned a place in my heart forever.
😂😂 This guy
You could've at least supported Bayern just for the sake of Germany's glory, come on.
This is the best football narration I've ever watched
Especially the ending, I almost shed tear, so emotional
The background music, the selected footage, the words and tonality of the narrator... Damn, everything is so perfect

Best material on the internet about Mourinho's Inter!. Wow! Incredible Video. The way Mourinho does it is just iconic .
Those were the GOLDEN years of futball. I miss those years.
Zlatan was an absolute beast of a player when he left for Barcelona. But to get Eto and a huge sum for Zlatan was a good deal.
This was the insult Mourinho used to get Eto's ego running.
One of the best documentary makers on RUclips, incredible content!
How the hell didn't Milito win the Balon D"or that season? All his goals were hugely important to a treble season. Seems a little ridiculous that a CF with a 30 goal season didn't even get a top 3 finish.
Here's the thing. He was not even nominated. Sneijder should've won it
Because balon d'or is a popularity contest lmao don't bother
Winning the Champions League is more important than the Ballon d'Or anyways.
That. But also Snejider. That same year he literally dragged Holland to the World Cup Final
Backroom politics with absolutely nothing to do with raw football stats.
They were men!!!!real men!!!!all of them!!!!that was theyre strong point!!! mentally unstoppable and talent....and all the new signings had something to prove!
I'll never get bored of watching a video showing Mourinho's rise.
Even as a Milan fan Sneijder deserved that Ballon d'Or.
Sneijder even had a fantastic World Cup, where Messi fell short. Messi had 1 assist and 0 goals. It's debatable really, Messi had a great individual year.
Messi was better individually.
His stint at Madrid broke him, he was never the same after that.
Maybe but, let's be honest if you know futbol he left the team almost built for the next coaches,he is the one who beat Barca a couple of times, something that the coaches before him couldn't, after JM came the champions league and other trophies 👍, I can guarantee you if Ancelloti or Zidane took that team at that time it will be a disaster years for both of them.
@@elbello1975 Madrid wanted Mourinho to build a starting team. Like what he did in Chelsea. Ancelotti and Zidane were good in polishing that Madrid.
Nah, it was the 15/16 debacle with Eva
cause there was not ref to help 🤣 plus his playing style is too defensive for la liga
@@djkalenomuzic2615he wasn't too defensive for la Liga, his team scored the most goals and earned the most points at a time in the league
How football has changed! You could see passion for the game from both players and the manager. They accepted and fought for Mourinho wholeheartedly. Great accomplishment by the team!
Absolutely I am a chelsea fan specially the squad he built for us in 2004/05 but this inter squad was scary.... that defense with Lucio , motta along with Stankovic, Eto , Wesley and Milito upfront was magnificent ❤
This canal is pure gold!!! Keep up the good work 🎉
Wow! Incredible Video. The way Mourinho does it is just iconic 😢❤
What a quality video. This team has some of my best memories from my youth watching football with my dad. And I felt like I relived that, cheers
Amazing video one of the best moment's in football history. Gosh I enjoyed watching Inter in Mourinho era so much.
Superb Video! That Inter squad was filled with warriors like jose loves. Enjoyed this era alot. Though was extremely sad at that time how he was sacked after winning two Premier league titles back to back. But happy he did ever so well in Inter with a treble. Always a Jose fan! Respect Respect Respect!
key word: WARRIORS
What a strong team they were. As a Schalker it's even more a miracle to win against inter in the following season
Dude... 13:34 that was The best Palermo ever in Serie A. We were a beautiful team to watch, with impressive future top players. People say we gave an exotic flavour to the league. See you in the years to come 💓🖤🦅
Miccoli, a legend the streets will never forget
There is no more Positive " Adjectives" to describe the Genious of José Mourinho.
He's the most Important and Influential Football Manager of the New Millennium.
And also a Very Successfull One.Won everything at Team Level several Times,some with Teams that nobody would bet 1 cent to win.
But He's Complete Knowledge of the Game,puts him one step ahead of the competition.
Mourinho Rules,do you like it or not.
This is an absolutely spectacular video, the way you put it together is simply amazing. Great job!
Was waiting for this video, man!
Our best season ever, no way i could ever forget it! What a ride, from start to finish! Seeing that footage of Mourinho and Materazzi crying in the end had me tear up again!
Incredible, the Treble I will never forget! 💙🖤
That was an awesome video. What a team Inter 2010 were
20:15 not a handball
Offside yes
This Inter Milan team was a defensive masterpiece and as Bayern München Fan....it was a worthy opponent. We weren't ready yet....as a Lothar Matthäus Fan and because of him and Giovanni Trapattoni a Inter Milan friend....this final wasn't soul crushing like the Manchester United disaster.
Inter Milan had a incredible experienced and defensively sound mixture of players....some knew this might be the last time they get this far. And a coach that is known to be a tactical master.
They deserved this title as much as FC Bayern München did. Inter also made some intelligent transfers....Bayern München letting Lucio go made me actually upset - he was the last elite Libero....full of passion and fighting spirit. I also think Thiago Motto was a fantastic all-rounder. Great team....and probably the only team we lost against without me throwing remotes enraged....
This should be made into a sports movie after some more years🔥
I remember hating Mourinho with a passion when he managed Chelski, as a life-long Manchester United fan, but when he left, I started to appreciate what he has accomplished. Yes, I hated his guts for his arrogance. But it was one of his core attributes that made him, well, special. Truly one of the GOAT managers. And that Inter team, what an amazing assembly of talented, hard working players that complimented each other so well. The stand outs for me were Milito, Sneijder and Pandev.
one of my favorite channels, love these videos on retro football
Best football video I have seen on RUclips in over 16 years ...... Brilliant ... THANK YOU @the retro route
Just realize, Milito score all inter goals in their 3 final game that decisive match to win trophy .
That man was not a joke. He was doing his job flawlessly.
I’ve been a Barca fan of years and watching those games and seeing Barcelona beaten as they were over two legs was crazy to me. I gained such a respect for that team and Milito became my favorite Inter player and for good reason, dude was CLUTCH. Glad I’ve been alive to see both teams achieve history
I'm a Chelsea fan and i will always thank Jose for winning our 1st title in 50 years and again when he returned. Brilliant man
I watch a documentary about this team twice a year.
City and Inter are my favorite teams but City comes first.
My two teams are in history forever
It was the team spirit that won them all of that more than their talents.
Mourinho was able to create in them that feeling and make his players feel taller than they actually are to the point that they believed him and performed accordingly.
So many icons in one team,, Mourinho the special one ❤❤
I remember this period i cried like a little baby. I had a special bond with this team lol.
What a manager Jose is !
Great video, I really enjoyed that. I remember that season well, especially seeing that Barca team being brought down a peg or two !!
Jose completed football as a manager. It's just the perfect career mode.
Great work by the creator of this documentary and the narrator... The last 5 minutes are intense... Kudos!!!
How the Netherlands national team didn't win with Sneijder, I'll never understand, guy was so good at that time.
2010 was definitely their best chance.
Robben and Van persie that's why.
man this video is superb. beautiful narative and smooth chronologically. thumbs up. ❤
That Mourinho-Materazzi moment is same as Jerry Maguire moment between Cuba and Tom.
Da interista sarò per sempre grato a Mou e Milito e tutta l'Inter di quell anno per avermi regalato um triplete, ilsogno di ogni tifoso affezionato
Milito was incredible
Brilliant team. Loved Mourinho's celebrations after the final whistle in barcelona.
Great video as always!
I appreciate that
Jose Mourinho’s class, master mind and his emotional attachment with his players is 2nd to none..Still the best coach in the world
Militio was the most clutch inter player ever
These videos are perfection, massive respect for the content creator ❤
And regardless of what the haters say this prices his greatness
This one of the greatest football docs I have ever seen. Football will never be the same.
How milito didn't win the balloon d'or is still a mystery to me till date....he did it all in the big stage and important time....
Amazingly put together video btw.
I remember the day of the champions league final, the weather was amazing in the UK and we were down the beach. I ended up bumping into an inter fan and have a great conversation about the team and games. I was made up they won it, I'd seen many of their games that season and it was hard not to fall in love with that team.
Milito was criminally underrated
THE I HAVE FOR MOURINHO IS CRAZY...... You can apply his tactics' in all aspect of life. thanks for this wonderful video
I will choose Mourinho Over pep guardiola any day, Any time
He needed them. They needed him. Team work!!
milito was so underrated
BEST DOCUMENTARY. GOATED TEAM. GOATED MANAGER.
Not gonna lie that Pique goal was fire tho
Yes it was... the only great hfighlight he did in his carreer and it wasnt in defence, where he was often awful and needed help from real top players like Busquets, Puyol or Mascherano... ut it was an obvious offside. The
Pure genius, by a club, by a coaching staff, recruiting staff, management staff, medical staff, hospilatility staff, by players, by own, by everyone, every single person in a club. GOLDEN SEASON ! And ofc, pure genius stuff from our mr. Jose. Thanks to all. I was almost 15 at the time. THANKS.
Milito could have won the Ballon D'Or if it was fair, man was so clutch
I'm very proud of Cristian Chivu as I'm from the same city he is RESITA, ROMANIA 🇷🇴 In fact as a kid I've played for hid dad's club CSM Resita almost 23 years ago. I am 37 now and never made it pro but i have no regrets 😊 because of Chivu i am an Inter Milan fan for life
You are an amazing story teller. Subscribed!
If any of these new players listen and play according to Mourinho then will get success as evident of his past records
From an Italian inter fan, beautiful video, bravo!!
That's why he is the GOAT. No one knew his players and he turned them all into heroes. A truly inspirational side showing that hard word does pay off.
