Jose Mourinho and the art of winning

His critics may think he is ultra defensive, he might have taken the word "beautiful" out of the beautiful game, or you may simply put him as "boring" but HE DOESNT CARE!
He knows how to win games, how to beat opponents which are far superior to his on paper... but games are not won on paper, it is won on the field and he makes that happen.
Boring teams win games by a margin of 1-0, Jose wins 2-0, what more do these critics want? He has been excellent throughout his career.
The game against Barcelona was one of the best I have ever seen. That is the way a two legged game is played. An Inter side playing with 10 men against a rampaging Barca with 62 minutes still left on the clock deserve the best. One got to see both sides of Inter's game over the two legs. They were at their attacking best when they won coming from a goal down at home and were completely organised in the away game where they only had to defend their lead.
Had Roman Abramovich been a bit more patient, Chelsea would have won that elusive Champions League title which Jose has now won for Inter Milan.
He is a meticulous planner, astute thinker... a gift to the game.
The next big test for the Special One will be Real Madrid if he does go there as a manager. Even Fabio Capello had a torrid time there and it will be interesting to see how Jose plays his cards because unlike his previous teams, Porto, Chelsea and Inter, this team has no dearth of stars and it will be quite different for Jose to serve Real's never ending demands to win by playing attractive football.
A salute to this genius...
