Football is a funny game. Maybe it’s because of that,
football fans and media covering football are also sometimes void of sense. I
say that because after the bore that was Liverpool vs. Manchester United, fans
and the media are saying Man Utd manager Jose Mourinho seems to have his
swagger back.
No talk about how he sent his team out to defend for 90mins
and put 9-10 men behind the ball at all times. At times, Man Utd looked like
they had a 6 men defense! Yet people are saying this was "vintage Mourinho"
and that he had "his tactics spot on".
Strange because no one said this when Mourinho's
predecessor, Louis van Gaal, did it! No wait, van Gaal never did this because
he never had a 6-man defense! Yet somehow van Gaal was chased out of Old
Trafford for being “boring” while Mourinho was "spot on".
Having 35% of the possession and playing boring football,
but somehow that’s a good thing if your name is Jose Mourinho. If you name is
Louis van Gaal then…Strange don’t you think?
