Man Unido Tell me what Chelsea won before Abramovic? You don’t know cos u wasn’t even born so don’t comment on things you don’t know. Chelsea had a European trophy before Mou or Abramovic via beating Real Madrid.
Lol. Putting me on the spot. (And my head is aching from writing an exam. Well, in general he understands power (the acquisition and portrayal of which is a central theme of Machiavellianism). Look at the regal way in which he carries himself for example. It's also clear he understands how to manipulate and control other people's emotions to get what he wants. I would honestly have to write an essay to explain all the possible ways one can "manipulate" emotions. But it's not any one of these things by itself. Its the total package. Read 48 Laws of Power for example. You'll see Machiavellinism painted all over Mourhino. Though I must add if you are the type of person who can't "feel" his way through situations, moment by moment, to eventually get what he wants, this may be a bit difficult to understand. It's not all about a logical explanation.
Agreed completely. Mourinho is a master at social situations and manipulating people to get what he wants. He knows exactly what he's doing but he has the whole package - the brains to do it, the looks to pull it off, and the confidence.
It's not that hard to explain. Manipulating others is part of Mourinho's approach to football. He does it with opponents as well as with referees. In the conference room he's constantly trying to piss off other managers and lure them to into a media whirlpool. Some managers such as Pep handle it better, while some like Wenger handle it worse. Mourinho's constantly pressuring referees with his usually unjustified complaints. His whining generally works because he's good at rhetoric. On the pitch, especially during his Real Madrid years, he channeled this through his players: against Barcelona, Real Madrid used to foul so hard and so often that the referees eventually became more forgiving towards RM. Sometimes Ramos or Pepe deserved being sent off in the first half, but the refs were too afraid of doing it and began allowing RM's brutal football more and more. Nowadays though, Mourinho's dark arts seem to be working against him. Too much Machiavellianism and not enough managerial quality.
His ,anagerial quality is still top notch. It's just the world which has become softer. And If I could speak on how Barca fouled and got away, oh my! @@davekent6023
Mourinho did an extremely professional job here of translating Bobby's Spanglish into comprehensible Spanish, while also very accurately relaying the real sense of what Robson was trying to say. That is much more complex than straight translation.
Mourinho looks like the devil whispering in Robson’s ears 😂 It seems at all times Mourinho has all the answer, knows what Robson is trying to say and should say. Remarkable relationship
Love how the things Sir Bobby was trying to say, had Jose's full backing. They were completely in sync thought wise and he was completely behind Sir bobby. Brilliant!
