Mourinho, the head coach, has a legendary life experience.

From being an ordinary Barcelona translator, to leading Porto to world-renowned, to going to England to take charge of the Blues, and finally winning the treble at Inter Milan, Mourinho's achievements in the first decade of this century are enviable.

Perhaps because his starting point was too high, when the madman encountered setbacks in the 10s, doubts were so overwhelming.

Wei Le himself regarded Mourinho as a learning object.

But it must be said that Mourinho has a nickname "Mourinho's Three Years" in China, especially on the Internet in simplified Chinese. Coincidentally, foreign fans have similar comments, saying that Mourinho's time in each team is not long, basically three seasons. The first season is brilliant, the second season is the peak, and the third season is internal chaos and then dismissed.

Now Mourinho is in Manchester United, and Wei Le is very much looking forward to whether Mourinho can break this so-called three-year curse.

The fuse for driving Mourinho away is generally very poor league results, which makes the board lose confidence. Mourinho's tactics are very advanced. It's not like some fans criticize that he only knows how to park the bus. On the contrary, it's also a skill to do the defensive counterattack to the extreme. 1-0 is also a win, 10-9 is also a win, so why not lose a few more goals?

Although Wei Le doesn't agree with Mourinho's football philosophy, he likes to study Mourinho's tactics very much and has learned a lot from it. Wei Le always believes that the deepest reason for Mourinho's dismissal is not how bad the results are, but the intensification of internal conflicts in the team.

The end of the Porto period was Mourinho's own decision, and the Inter Milan period was also a peaceful breakup, so these two periods will not be discussed for the time being. Looking at Mourinho's two coaching periods at Chelsea and Real Madrid, we can see the common points.

On the eve of his dismissal, Mourinho seemed to have a conflict with everyone in the team.

At Chelsea, Abrahimovic hated Mourinho; at Real Madrid, Ramos, Casillas and Ronaldo all expressed their dissatisfaction with the Portuguese head coach; there was even news that when he returned to Chelsea for the second time, even Chelsea's team doctor had conflicts with him.

He lost control of the locker room.

Is this related to the problems Wolves are facing now?

Yes.

When chatting with Motta, Wei Le talked about how he planned to deal with the problem that the team was not good at playing games.

At this time, he mentioned his views on Mourinho. Wei Le once read a post on Zhihu that evaluated Mourinho. The author said that the King of Yue had a long neck and a bird's beak. He could share hardships with him, but not happiness. Mourinho's personality is just the opposite of the King of Yue. He can share happiness with him, but not hardships.

Does personality determine everything? Not really.

But Mourinho's personality is actually reflected in the way he handles the team. We often see Mourinho arguing with the media in the "first year of Mourinho". In Real Madrid, he even made the pro-Barcelona and pro-Real Madrid media join hands to scold him.

In the "second year of Mourinho" or "third year of Mourinho", he often began to make enemies in the team, clashed with Casillas, and Ronaldo and Ramos stood on the opposite side of him. Even Pepe, who once supported him, stood on the side of the "enemy"; he clashed with Hazard, causing the entire locker room to be dissatisfied with him; now in Manchester United, the "old Yu" Giggs who drove away the 92nd class because of "moral issues" seems to have caused dissatisfaction with the team management.

Is this his bellicosity? Yes, but not entirely.

Wei Le believes that the reason why the "madman" Mourinho dares and is willing to take the initiative to cause controversy is actually deliberate. A team, whether it is a team, a company group, or a class.

It is of course good to be harmonious and peaceful, but this will only lead to everyone being bad. If you want to make a difference and make a breakthrough, you need to work towards a goal, and you need an "enemy".

At the beginning, the media was the enemy of Mourinho's team. The media constantly targeted and insulted the players, and the players must have been uncomfortable. In order to prove themselves, everyone would work hard. At this time, even if there were conflicts and pressures within the team, they would be temporarily suppressed, and everyone would fight for honor.

And Mourinho's tactics were equivalent to a "plus" effect, so Mourinho's first year was basically eye-catching.

But what happened next? It was difficult.

When the team's external goals disappeared, the conflicts within the team broke out, and Mourinho's tough personality was exposed at this time. He began to be unpopular, began to conflict with the team staff, and the players also began toHe did it.

Mourinho had no choice but to start "catching the ghost", but he caught everyone as the ghost.

In order to force Casillas to leave, Mourinho even banned his confidant, Portuguese central defender Pepe, which also made Pepe support the players and oppose Mourinho. This is an example.

Everyone is in low morale and always engages in internal conflicts. How can the results be good? You know, no matter how good the tactics are, they are implemented by people. As Wei Le said, tactics are one aspect, and more importantly, what the players think on the court.

As a result, Mourinho's team began to have internal and external troubles, and the results were poor, so Mourinho was dismissed.

What inspiration does this give to Wolves?

In order to find motivation for the team, Mourinho made enemies inside and outside the team, and finally brought disaster upon himself. The current situation of Wolves is that there is no "enemy", neither outside the team nor inside the team.

In fact, Wolves are not good at playing big games now. One of the reasons is that the Wolves players themselves do not have a reasonable idea about how to play big games.

The team lacks a goal and an enemy.

They are too young, and like Wei Le, they lack experience. As some commentators have criticized, the Wolves' personnel structure is deformed, with 95% of new generation players and 5% of old players making up the team, but what is missing is the fresh force of the Mesozoic era.

The main players who are at their peak, knowledgeable and experienced.

They can bring a guiding role to the team and tell the young guys how to deal with this situation.

Without such a person, the Wolves can only explore on their own.

Young players are like this, sometimes they are too radical, over-motivated, and feel that they can do everything; but when they are hit, they begin to belittle themselves and lose their footing.

"I am quite grateful to that reporter." Wei Le said with a smile, "I heard that he was fired later. I still feel a little regretful. I am thinking about whether to send him a private invitation letter to let him go to the scene to watch the game."

"Now, the team finally has a motivation because of that reporter. With motivation, the pressure is not so great. Everyone wants to slap the face of that Italian reporter. In this way, everyone's hearts are also thinking about the same thing when they go to the game."

"I think the best solution to high pressure is to divert attention. If you don't think about pressure, the pressure will disappear. In the final analysis, pressure is still given to yourself." Wei Le said.

After listening to Wei Le's words, Motta was silent for a long time.

"This is the first time I have heard someone have such an idea." Motta said in surprise. No one has ever analyzed the reason why Mourinho was fired from this perspective, and no one has ever thought about how to deal with pressure in this way.

Thiago Motta was very happy. It was indeed right to learn from other head coaches, and learning from Wei Le was the right choice. This man is really wise.

He now really wants to know whether Wei Le's way of dealing with pressure can work on Wolves.
