Tottenham Hotspur knew what he was going to get when he hired Jose Mourinho.
From Chelsea to Real Madrid, the Portuguese coach continues to do so at the time of the season.
It’s not pretty, but knowledge proves it, it’s very effective.
In the six jobs in which he spent at least two seasons, he earned the name at all.
It’s just Mourinho, a guy who’s never hesitated to remind the media of his brilliant record, he says.
On Sunday, after a 0-0 draw with rival Chelsea, who returned the Spurs to the most sensitive in the Premier League, the Portuguese coach recycled an old line from his repertoire of other people’s clichés.
This time he described his Tottenham Hotspur team as “just a pony” to compete with “horses” like Chelsea for the Premier League title.
The metaphor recalled his comments about his 2014 Chelsea team, which he described as “a horse that wants milk and will have to be informed to jump” to challenge Manchester City.
However, Mourinho’s career statistics are now or never for his Tottenham Hotspur team.
The Spurs are the seventh team with which Mourinho has a season moment and, of the other six he has coached, none have added less than 80 points.
The only time he wasn’t enough to win the name was the 2017/18 season when his Manchester United team finished with Pep Guardiola’s 100 Manchester City tracks.
Although Manchester United’s 81-point streak was less than Mourinho’s other consecutive winning streak in the second season, he was tied for his team, the title-winning Inter, who, it should also be noted, also won the Champions League trophy.
The first signs are that Tottenham is in a position to tackle a campaign of similar issues.
The average Spurs problems consistent with this season’s game are 2. 10, which corresponds to Mourinho’s 2009/10 Inter Milan (2. 16) and Manchester United 2017/18 (2. 13).
The challenge for the Spurs is that in the last 20 seasons of the Premier League, there are 3 events in which that general would have been smart enough to deliver the trophy.
Leicester City were the last team to win it with 81 problems in 2015-16, a season that, for many reasons, is an anomaly.
The thing about Tottenham Hotspur is that Mourinho’s reputation as the show’s winner is no longer what it used to be.
That began to replace towards the end of his first season at Manchester United when he began to be described by the media less as an effective pragmatist who “knew how to win” than as a coach whose defensive instincts stopped the teams.
An article by Reuters, a medium little known for his caution against football coaches, in May 2017 summed up the idea, describing Mourinho as “struggling to get rid of his reputation as a dicy coach whose groups no longer fit with his main rivals. “
He noted that at the time, “no Mourinho team has scored against a team of six wonderful since January 2015, when Chelsea lost 5-3 to the Spurs” and “United have been very negative in taking blanks over each and every wonderful opponent. “. “
While Manchester City fled with the name the following year, he gained popularity and followed him to the Spurs.
Last season, former Tottenham Hotspur forward Peter Crouch even called Mourinho’s tactic “so negative” that it “demoralized” players.
However, this year, Mourinho’s tactic has been so easy to label.
The Spurs’ 0-0 draw for Chelsea over the weekend was a step back after a win over Manchester City and a 1-6 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford before the season.
A more definitive replacement on the reputation dial will continue to feature clashes with Arsenal and Liverpool in the coming weeks.
If defensive submissions see the sane aspect of the Premier League drop, the ‘risk shower’ label will most likely be reapplied.
The explanation for why this season is so critical for the Spurs is that the other dominant trend in Mourinho’s career is that it lasts 3 years.
Only once, his first season at Chelsea in 2007–08, he began a fourth consecutive season with the same team, although he controlled only two months before leaving after a fight with the owner.
However, before his third year of career, Mourinho can still be summoned to secure more than 80 problems and about 2. 20 average problems in line with the game.
The challenge that, in his first stage with Chelsea and Real Madrid, was only enough for him to finish second. He never won the name in his third year.
The Spurs are concerned that the new style was a serious mid-season implosion
In his last two jobs, he even reached the middle of the third year and there were worrying similarities in his departures from Chelsea (second) and Manchester United.
A general collapse in form at the beginning of the third year, with average rates of 0. 94 (Chelsea 2014-15) and 1. 53 (Manchester United 2018-19) consistent with the game, saw him fired with only one quarterback match played.
Poor results, in some cases, were aggravated by reports of deteriorating player relations.
The question is whether it will be the same for the Spurs.
If Mourinho lasts a third season at Tottenham Hotspur, it will be to see if his powers diminish as dramatically as at Chelsea and Manchester United.
Otherwise, knowledge shows that they might have good chances for the title.
