Mourinho: Messi makes me improve! Every time I play against him, I m very brain-burning!

August 20. Mourinho, a world-class and historical coach from Portugal and former Real Madrid coach, was interviewed by SportyNet and talked about Messi during the period.

The reporter did not mention Messi, but the answer to his question pointed to Messi, so Mourinho praised Messi by the way. The reporter asked Mourinho, which player allowed him to grow the most as the head coach? Note that this is not a question about the players you have coached. Although the reporter does seem to have this meaning, Mourinho did not choose any player you have coached, but chose his greatest opponent and Messi, the first person in history.

Mourinho thought for a while, the answer given was very simple, that is the name of the man: Messi. The reporter asked why? Mourinho said that every time he plays against Messi, he is very brain-burning and needs to rack his brains. Of course, judging from the results, Mourinho could not handle Messi even if he wanted to do tactics. He was even beaten by Messi and eventually got off the get out of class in a mess at Real Madrid.

The reporter asked Mourinho again, is there any player with great potential but has not been coached by Mourinho? The answer is obviously very clear, it is Messi. After all, Mourinho has just finished praising Messi. Mourinho did say the man's name again after a slight pause: Messi.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Mourinho has said something similar. Mourinho praised Messi many times as early as a few years ago. In 2019, I said: Messi is the best, and such a person is also good to be an opponent, because he can force all head coaches to learn, think, analyze, and make decisions. All research on Messi makes us better head coaches. Mourinho also said that he had played for Messi in different teams. Each team has different goals, some are for winning, while others just want to not lose. But it would be too late to interpret Messi until the game and understand how he posed a threat.
