What conditions does a person need to have in order to succeed?

I believe this is the mystery that everyone in the world longs to know, because everyone desires success and always wants success.

But the successful experience explained by every successful person will always belong to himself and cannot be applied to others.

Some people say that success can be copied, but Mourinho firmly believes that success cannot be copied.

It's like in the world where we live, there is always only one Jose Mourinho

On May 4, 2004, at 35:36 pm, Mourinho looked at the watch on his left wrist and remembered this time. He believed that he would never forget this day and moment.

At the moment when the whistle sounded, he covered his mouth and tears burst out from his eyes, but he did not let the crying in his heart spread, because he always hoped that he could show himself in front of everyone with the strongest image.

But today, at this moment, he had no choice but to stop himself from crying.

At this time a year ago, he led the sluggish Porto to the UEFA Cup finals with doubts and pressure, and successfully won the League Cup championship. However, no one knew him at that time, and no one would care about this unknown pawn from Portugal.

So much so that when the UEFA draw ceremony was awarded at the beginning of this season, many people couldn't help but feel in their hearts when they saw Mourinho taking the Best Coach of the Year Award from Ye Qiu's hands and blew their doubts in the newspaper, Jose Mourinho? Who? Why?

At that moment, he kept telling himself in his heart that they suspected that it was not important, but that it was important that he had to be successful.

His experience has never been smooth, and he has been accompanied by bumps and bumps along the way. From being an assistant to a famous coach to a failure after coaching alone, he was finally ousted in shame and encountered a trough. All of this made him cherish the honors and achievements he has now.

Until now, he once again led Porto to the Champions League final, which was his two consecutive years to the final of European competitions. Even Ye Qiu had never had this result back then, and he now had an impulse. He really wanted to ask those who looked down on him and thought he was not worthy of those best coach of the year awards, would I be worthy?

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, it is silly to ask this question, but in Mourinho's opinion, he is willing to put in millions of times hard work and sweat to ask this sentence, because he thinks it is worth it.

If you ask Mourinho why you can succeed, he will not tell you the real reason. He will only tell you that I am born a successful person, but that is a false mask. He knows very well in his bones that his success comes from inferiority.

Inferiority is not a derogatory term in many cases, on the contrary, it can be a positive term because inferiority can clearly see one's own shortcomings, making people become modest, more motivated, and more desireful.

The most terrifying thing for a person is that he cannot see himself clearly, which will make you lose in the jungle of this world.

From the moment he coached Porto, Mourinho has been very, very determined to his goal, that is, success

He longs for success, and he even wants to be the most successful person in the world, surpassing anyone, and not allowing anyone to succeed more than him, so he is crazy and proud, but he never gets lost because he always knows clearly where he should be and where he should go.

Chairman Dacosta once asked jokingly, "Jose, do you know why I chose you to take over Porto?"

"It's because you are realistic enough. You are just realists like me in your bones. We only accept success, not failure. As long as we can succeed, we can even do whatever we can."

"The reason why you failed in so many clubs and even fell to the bottom for a while, but succeeded in Leria and Porto is because you understand this truth. This world is cruel and realistic. Only those who are more realistic than it are qualified to conquer it."

Although Mourinho doesn't like Da Costa and he is eager to escape from Da Costa's control, he has to admit that he is deeply influenced by Da Costa, and many times he can't tell the difference. After all, these thoughts were originally there, but they were not discovered. Later, Da Costa instilled in himself bit by bit through a series of events.

That old man is so scary, so scary that you obviously resist, but you dare not be afraid of him

But at this moment, at the Riasso Stadium, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Mourinho suddenly saw the hope of breaking free from the shackles. He finally saw that the front of him was no longer dark, but dawn was shining.

That was the dawn he had been waiting for for a long time, and he had fought for it for a lifetime

So, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and howled in tears.

In the stands at Riasso Stadium, countless fans saw this scene, but for the fans of La Coruna, they had no feelings for the young coach from Portugal. They were immersed in the fog of the team's upset by the opponent.

Only Jorge Mendes, this shrewd guesser, can understand Mourinho's mood.

In fact, there are many similarities between the two, for example, their origins are very ordinary, for example, they often cannot make a decision on themselves and their careers, for example, they both believe in a very realistic pragmatism.

No one knows better than Mendes what Mourinho has done for today, nor does anyone know better than Mendes how hard Mourinho can get to what he is today.

Da Costa once told Mendes that Mourinho is not strictly an excellent head coach.

"He does not have the agility and wise tactical sense that those outstanding coaches should have. He cannot bring tactical innovation to a team. He is not a thinker, and he is not even a clever tactical system designer, so he will fail, but I firmly believe he will succeed."

"He is not a master of tactics, but it does not mean that he is not excellent. On the contrary, his tenacious will and fighting spirit allow him to become an excellent inspirational and team builder, and use it to build a team with tenacious fighting spirit."

"You know, in fact, to defeat an opponent on the football field, the tactics do not have to be too complicated, nor do they have to be smarter than the opponent. Sometimes the simplest and most direct method is also the most effective method, and he only needs to learn this to succeed. This is also the reason why I arranged for him to go to Leiria."

"Idealism, personal dreams, are too luxurious for this real world."

Later, the young man who was sent to Leria by Dacosta soon became the savior of Porto.

The same tactics and the same lineup, but he led Porto out of the trough.

Sometimes, Mendes wondered whether we always think about the world too complicated. In fact, he is very simple, but we are too clever?

It was like this game against La Coruña, who was tied by La Coruña at home 00. Many people helped Mourinho design countless away tactical methods. Some of the tactics were very complicated and targeted, but Mourinho was useless and used the move he was best at defending and counterattacking, and La Coruña fell.

Hearing some Porto fans shouting the goal-scoring heroes at the scene, Brazilian striker Delle's name, it seems that Mourinho regards the Brazilian striker who has just recovered from injury as a surprise, but in fact, even if it is not Delle, when he is McCarthy, he still wins Porto, because the world is so simple

But Mendes couldn't help but think of the one from Chelsea, the one Mourinho didn't want to hear or mention.

He is very strange because he never seems to be willing to repeat himself. From Ajax's continuous innovation to Chelsea, his entire tactical system and style have changed a lot. He is undoubtedly an excellent tactical master. He has a very keen sense of tactical system and is always leading the trend.

Unlike Mourinho's insistence on adopting pragmatic tactics, Ye Qiu has always adhered to his tactical concept, that is, control, and control is often a very complex thing and requires a huge and cumbersome system project to maintain.

The two can be said to be completely different, but they are so successful, which makes Mendes very interested in the next Champions League final, because in his opinion, it is more like a collision of two football concepts.

"I will definitely beat Ye Qiu in the final and defeat Chelsea." Compared to Mendes' expectations, Mourinho seemed even more impatient. When facing the interview of reporters and asking about Chelsea, who is most likely to encounter Ye Qiu in the final, the Portuguese expressed his belief in winning almost without hesitation.

"I will use facts to tell everyone that Ye Qiu and Chelsea are not as powerful as they imagined. For me and Porto, it is not just a Champions League final, but also a final battle to justify themselves."

Although Mourinho did not say why he wanted to make a name clear, everyone speculated that it was related to a series of events in the past.

And a day later, Mourinho and Mendes appeared at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.

There is actually not much suspense in this game between Chelsea and Monaco.

Sitting at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Mourinho felt that more than 40,000 Blues fans at Stamford Bridge Stamford Bridge Stadium didn't seem to be watching the game at all, but seemed to be here to celebrate at home, as if he was full of confidence in the team's ability to advance to the finals successfully.

The situation of the game did not disappoint this group of Blues fans who came to the scene. Chelsea scored just now. Ronaldinho took the lead in using a very beautiful breakthrough to score the first record for Chelsea. The Brazilian is the best performing star in the Champions League this season.

After leading the way, Chelsea fans were more like celebrating the festival, cheering and shouting in the stands, celebrating like crazy. Many elderly people couldn't help but burst into tears and covered in oil on their faces.

"Didn't it mean that the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge Stadium is very bad?" Mourinho frowned and was a little confused.

This is what he saw from the report. I heard that Ye Qiu was not satisfied with the Chelsea home atmosphere, but now it seems that Stamford Bridge is full, and the fans are also very excited. The atmosphere on the scene is very hot and enthusiastic. How can it be considered bad?

Mendes, who was sitting next to him, shook his head, and he didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, a Chelsea fan wearing a blue jersey sitting next to them smiled, "You are Porto's head coach? Are you here to spy on military affairs?"

Mourinho was disguised today, but he was still recognized, a little surprised and a little frightened.

After all, this is Chelsea's territory. If Chelsea fans attack him, as their future competitor, don't say anything else and beat him up, then he can't do anything, so it's inevitable that he will worry.

"Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions," the old man in England said with a laugh.

After he said this, Mourinho felt relieved when he looked relaxed and there was no sign of calling for someone.

"Did you know? In the history of London football, no London team has reached the Champions League final. Mr. Ye Qiu said that we will become the first London team to reach the Champions League final, and we will also become the first London team to win the European Champions League. We have no doubts," said the elderly English fan confidently.

Mourinho and Mendes both looked at each other and were a little surprised. In their impression, London football has always been a very prosperous concept because there are the most Premier League teams in England. But what I didn't expect was that no team in London has reached the Champions League final, which is indeed a bit surprising.

After all, Liverpool has had the Liverpool Red Army dynasty, Manchester has also had Manchester United's peak, Birmingham's Aston Villa has also won the Champions League, and even cities like Nottingham and Leeds have had teams winning the Champions League or reaching the finals, but only London, England and even the largest and most prosperous city in the UK have never had such an experience. This has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of London fans.

You should know that in the UK, the status of football is comparable to faith, and London teams have never won the Champions League or reached the Champions League final. It has always been a major means for fans in other cities and regions to ridicule London fans, and it is the scar of London.

But now, Ye Qiu is leading this Chelsea team to make up for this scar.

"Do you think the atmosphere here is very lively today?" the old man in England asked with a smile, but before Mourinho answered, he said first, "When the game is over, you can go around and take a walk in central London. It will be a hundred and million times more lively than it is now. If you can win the Champions League, the city will definitely go crazy."

After saying that, the old English man laughed, as if he was very content with this.

Mourinho and Mendes looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. It was this last bit of complacency that made this elderly English fan look more like a British fan, and always with a little incomprehensible pride.

But just as Mourinho and the others were smiling at the fan in their hearts, the fan said something that made Mourinho very embarrassed, which almost made him furious.

"Mr. Mourinho, if you think that if you come to Stamford Bridge as an enemy, we will be against you, then you overestimate yourself and underestimate us. Do you really think that no one else can recognize you? Wrong, we all recognize you, but no one is willing to pay attention to you."

"For us, things on the football field will be resolved on the football field. To hurt you in the stands is a coward's behavior. That is because of lack of confidence in defeating you on the football field, but we are not. We are full of confidence in the team and will definitely beat you and your Porto in the Champions League final."

"Because, you are not as powerful as our Ye Qiu."

If the previous few words made Mourinho a little embarrassed and felt that he was a little judged by a villain's heart, then the last sentence almost made him scold him because no one dared to say that he was not as good as Ye Qiu in front of him like this.

"Then I will tell you too, I will definitely knock him down." Mourinho fought back ruthlessly.

The elderly Chelsea fan shrugged, "I'll say it when you do it. By the way, my name is Long Hawkins. I have been a Chelsea fan and season ticket holder since I was a child. I will definitely go to Schalke to watch the game. I will watch you lose with my own eyes."

"Farting" Mourinho cursed, and Yu Qian was too lazy to talk nonsense to such people.

Long Hawkins stood up with a laugh, ignoring Mourinho at all, shouting loudly, "Come on, Chelsea, Ye Qiu."

"Go to the finals and win the championship"

Seeing his fanatical expression, it was completely inconsistent with his age, Mourinho sat in the stands, looking up at him, but his heart became more determined that he would win, and after winning, he must let this guy named Long Hawkins see. Ye Qiu he trusted is a loser, a complete loser

But Mourinho's complaint about not being able to capsize Ye Qiu's gutter was not realized, because after Deschamps and Monaco lost 2003 at home, they did not show any tenacious fighting will on the away game. On the contrary, their away game looked more like a defensive counterattack, with the purpose only to save face and prevent themselves from losing so badly.

Ronaldinho's goal in the first half and Deco's goal in the second half finally helped Chelsea beat Monaco 0, and eliminated the Ligue 1 powerhouse from the Champions League with a total score of 0, successfully reaching the Champions League final.

At the moment the referee blew the end of the game, Mourinho stood up from his seat. The result of the game was not surprising. Ronaldinho was as outstanding as ever, Deco was as stable as ever, and Lampard did not score, but worked hard as ever, although he did not score,

This Chelsea team is also as stable and full of control as always, and nothing is beyond Mourinho's expectations.

But for some reason, the Portuguese always felt that they had missed something.
Chapter completed!
