“Why African Strikers Should Be In Your Team” –Mourinho Reveals Secret Behind His Success
One of the best professional football managers in the world José Mourinho has revealed the secrets behind his success as a coach of different football clubs in the world.
Mourinho who is popularly known as The Special One stated this while hyping the strength of African strikers who helped him win different leagues as a couch.
The Portuguese Professional Football Manager urges the amateur coaches to learn from his success by making sure that African players especially strikers are in their teams.
“My success is always based on having an African Striker. Without an African Striker, I feel like I won’t succeed. My belief about African Strikers started with Benni Mccarthy at FC Porto where He scored more than 20 league goals to help me & FC Porto win the Portuguese League Title. In that same season, He scored very important goals for me in the Uefa Champions League that helped our careers to be well known in Europe by winning my first Champions League as a Coach “
” From Portugal to Chelsea in England, i find Didier Drogba. He was a great African weapon to win with me an English Premiership. I wanted Benni Mccarthy to join me to partner Didier Drogba up front but at that time He was at Blackburn Rovers and He was the only hit man there. So they refused to give us Benni Mccarthy no matter the Offer i put on the Table “
” From Chelsea to inter Milan, there i wanted to win the Uefa Champions League so badly. But I only had two Ghanaian midfielders and that was not enough for me to win Champions League as i was dominating the league only. So I sat down and thought hard about having an African Striker again. I approached FC Barcelona and they willingly sold to me the best signing of my Career Samuel E’too and the same season with Eto’o I won Champions League”
“from Inter Milan to Real Madrid. There at Real Madrid I had all talents but the reason I didn’t win the Champions League is because I had no African Striker. I tried Emmanuel Adebayour but it was a loan move so Madrid does not like to use loaned Players.”
” Brazil have Great Strikers, but if you look at them they are of African origin. I always teach new coaches on my coaching facilities that you must always have an African Striker in your team. “
“perfect example at Manchester United they don’t believe much in African Strikers, no wonder i didn’t enjoy much success there. Some strikes gives you league titles but African Strikers gives you Champions
LEAGUE TITLES ”
