The former footballer spoke on the podcast ‘Up Front With Simon Jordan’ John Terryformer disciple of José Mourinhohis coach at Chelseaspoke precisely about the Special One, singing its praises.
“The way he tactically analyzed the opponents was at a level that I still don’t see today. José Mourinho an absolute genius. He knew the names of all the referees, the instructions the opponent gave about our team, the sons of the coaches, referees Everything. In the first pre-season with Mourinho we stayed in England for a few days before going to Los Angeles. The first training sessions were a great opportunity to impress him, because we were all terrified by his first press conference. We were all worried, we called each other we knew what to expect, it was a bit intimidating to see how confident he was. I like the way he created the mentality of the world against Chelsea. I remember the first day on the job he was already outside, on the pitch, setting up the cones for training and reviewing what we would do about his grades and said ‘we will win the championship this year’. We had never been told these things, but he made us feel very special.”
