A legend on the coaching bench of world football, this strategist Mourinho reduced the importance of a single player like Ronaldo , instead, he emphasized the importance of the entire team.
How does Mourinho coach Ronaldo?
When asked about his experience managing Ronaldo, Mourinho revealed to Portuguese newspaper Bola na Rede: “I often say that I don’t coach players, I coach teams. I also say I don’t coach players, I coach young people to play football. When you talk about a superstar player like Ronaldo, you cannot teach that player how to take free kicks, how to run, how to shoot or how to pass the ball. Obviously I don’t do anything like that.
I have coached teams with some of the best players in the world and my job is to piece together a picture to create an environment where they can express themselves in the best way possible. I’ve also worked in teams recently where the players weren’t very good and where individual attention became more important.
About Ronaldo? Coaching people like Ronaldo is really easy. You don’t need to teach Ronaldo anything. He is good at everything in football, his desire to win is abundant. The only thing I “treat” Ronaldo is to improve his sense of responsibility and influence in the team, to make Ronaldo happy and comfortable playing football.
