Jose Mourinho began his ascent to the top of football management at Benfica and then União de Leiria, but it was at Porto during a two and a half season spell where he really made his name. Working with a squad of older players and astute acquisitions from other, less prestigious teams in Portugal, Mourinho forged a side that won two Portuguese league title, the UEFA Cup and, finally, achieved the remarkable feat of the Champions League title in 2004. It’s unlikely that another side from outside of Europe’s top five leagues will ever win the Champions League again. That Mourinho did it with a squad whose whole was certainly greater than the sum of its parts is testament to a manager who may have fallen behind the times now but, at his pinnacle, was one of football’s great innovators.

As a Porto fan, this video warmed my heart. Mou's Porto played some incredible football, loved that team!
Do you think that Conceicou will get the UCL for you this season ?
@@Vortex__24 No. Conceição has been good for us but he's not a world class coach, and the team is more "workers" than class players. Plus, there are too many other powerhouses around today, not taking any credit from Mourinho but the truth is he won the CL at a point where for 2-3 years there, most if not all the powerhouse teams were weakened. Porto is playing Klopp's Liverpool and just like last season we stand little to no chance of beating them.
They didn't top their champions league group and I actually thought they were really poor in the last 16 vs ManUtd. Relied on bad decisions to still only squeeze through (typical for Portuguese team's when you look at their national team).
They then had as easy a champions league route as you're likely to get in the competition. Lyon in QF Deportivo SF Monaco final.
In fact they faced 3 team's from the French league in that campaign, they had Marseille in their group.
@@cddb5408 All those teams at the time were some of the best teams in Europe. Marseille had Drogba and Barthez for exemple. United was one of the favourites to win the Champions League on that year, and Porto even played against the "galaticos" Real Madrid team where they draw against them at the Bernabeu. Lyon was 8 times champions of France in a row in that time, with some amazing players like Juninho, Elber, Malouda or Essien. Deportivo was champion of Spain the year after and they knocked out AC Milan with a 4-0 in Spain in the quarter finals. Monaco was also a incredible team with really good players and their attack was really strong. They finished the competition with the most goals scored.
Porto if have kept that team for more years like Real Madrid or Barcelona do nowadays, they could have won multiple champions leagues titles in a row for sure. That's how good they were at that time.
Celtic should have won the eufa cup if you’d didn’t cheat with dirty tactics
I’m in Portugal rn and literally just took a tour of Porto’s stadium yesterday. I saw the CL trophy won in this video! Legendary
What did you think of the Stadium?
p0rt0b0y very beautiful
I'm studying at portos engineering college and I my bus goes trough the road in front of the stadium everyday twice it's amazing
Went there last year too, so good they even had another CL trophy (from 1987) to keep the 2004 one company
@@p0rt0b0y uma merda
Mourinho is an absolute legend
Deserve much more respect and credit for what he’s achieved in his career
He even did well at ManU, but just because of that poor half season, people are bashing on him
Hope he continues to have a successful career
Mourinho needs to go back to the roots, pick a lower side and make them achieve greatness. The problem is that he goes to big budget teams, with fans that have highly crazy expectations and players who have a stupid huge ego. Imagine him coaching the current Ajax team. He could make them win the UCL, for real.
@@kolohaksja2260 nah, Mourinho only 'ruins' teams that are full of superstars, because he is not good at managing egos, especially the new superstars who are arrogant and shallow. Sure he would park the bus in Champions League and that might suit Ajax actually against Juve for example, but in Eredivise he wouldnt do it. When he was in Porto he didnt park the bus in national competitions, just against teams who had better squads like Man United. He was smart enough to study the opponent well. Teams like Ajax, Monaco, Valencia, Wolves, would be good for him to do what he used to do best.
Jorge Costa imagine mourinho at Ajax? did you start watching football this morning?
@brilliant berbatov Ziyech, Tadic, Onana, Tagliafico?
@@ghostfacevillah lol dude, I am a Porto fan, I watched Mourinho raising the UEFA Cup and the UCL with my team. I know what I am talking about. What I meant is he is able to pick the teams with lower budget and make them understand their potential. His problem lately is only picking teams with lots of expensive players and fans who demand immediate results and have too much high standards. He needs to get back where he started, Ajax would be perfect for him, they have a great youth academy like Porto, Eredivisie is full of talents to fish like the portuguese league and they have a great football philisophy and down to Earth fans. Ajax might need to park the bus against teams like Juve or later City if they want to have a shot at the final. That doesnt mean they need to lose their identity in Eredivisie games.
My heart still breaks remembering Allegri winning coach of the year the same year Inter Milan won a treble...the hate and jealousy for Mourinho is real ouchea
I remember my dad used to absolutely hate the guy (allegri) both of us as Ac Milan supporters because of what he did in the 2013/2014 and yes I can't comprehend the thought of him being better than Mourinho
@Archer he didn't do anything bad but my dad was absolutely mad that he made pirlo leave + last season Ac Milan was like 2nd in 2014 we were not even qualified for Europe league
One of the best ever managers in the history of the game.
Yeah he is also one of the most underrated managers. People only blame for his fails, they don't see his amazing feats
If you win with Porto and follow up with Inter, thats just legendary. He was always a good coach...its just that he fucks up every 3-4 yrs. Just think about it... Porto have more champions league title than Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, PSG COMBINED.
Nah certainly not
Till he fucked up man united
@@jjcs9238 His 3-4 years curse started at Madrid tho, things would've been very different if he stayed longer at Inter
Ask Pep to win a Champions League with Porto having Derley and Carlos Alberto up front... Lol
Watch sterling this season or how kimmich has developed, the monster Messi is or Sergio Busquets and ask if Mourinho could do it
@@sebastianstammer9265 , Deco, Carvalho, Terry, Lampard, Robben, Drogba, Sneijder, Ramos, Ozil, Di Maria, Varane... Also, Messi is not Messi because of Pep. Messi is Messi because of Messi. Period.
@@ciroacioli2454 have you seen how laporte , aguero, sterling have improved under pep
@@golovinpress6492 he has improved did you even watch city play cause I watch every city game and Laporte was not good at altletico bilbao
@@golovinpress6492 you hate pep cause you are morhinho fan and he was not able to adapt at United that's the truth and morinho is jobless now and pep still fighting for all competition
hey, that's me
He means we used his image because we referred to one of his excellent articles. - Alex
I can confirm that it is indeed you.
that's cool dude.
Hey that's the guy from the video
és mesmo tu heheh
Mourinho is easily one of football's greatest managers. To consistently be able to analyse his opposition and determine how best to nullify what makes them so dangerous, is a talent so underrated
Football appreciates this guy
Long time football viewers understand and respect what Mourinho does. It is the casuals who only watch the finals and big matches that complain about Mourinho being anti football and stuff.
With Smalling rojo Jones and young at back finished 2nd in the league and also won a European cup trust me he didn't fallen behind of Time just waiting for a comeback
ikr, mou is always workin, sometimes players no respect boss, like paul poba
@@artygunnar pogba is no mad dog and doesn't listen he was the master of Jose's downfall at United I wonder which medal he got from that, he doesn't even see he won trophies with that same manger he disobeyed
They didn't give him time
You forgot Lingardinho 😂
You forget to mention he had a peak DDG playing behind that back 4
It's amazing how consistent you are and your videos are, it really amazes me that the channel has just little than 500k. It's should have more than 5 million. Quality content once again. Love your videos. Here since the umaxit days! Keep it going!
Tifo was under 100k just a little over 1 year ago, they're really exploded actually.
@@zhongzhenpronouncedassciss7060 true.
So true ...tifo is as consistent as ronaldo..luv ur videos
oh my god youve reminded me how long ive been here, i remember finding this channel years ago
1. Asti-ngs stop licking his arse 👅 🍩
As a Porto fan this video bring back some beautiful memories. What a team, people should not disrespect José at all. That Porto could handle any team in the world nowadays.
talk about delusional lmao.
That porto was good for its time no question asked there
But the barcelona of 5-7 years ago would've mopped the floor with that Porto, same with Ronaldo's Real. The bayern and liverpool of the last 2 years ,the PSG of today.
Is fine to think that team was great because it was a fantastic team for its time but it's not even close to being one of the best squads in history lol
@@eternalchamp3882 Not to mention the Milan squad a few years later. That boy is delusional as hell
Jose Mourinho from 2002/03 to 2011/12 was one of the best managers of all time. I mean it went to a point every season he used to win something significant regardless of the type of teams or the league. He was, and still is, a tactical genius who learnt from greats such as Sir Bobby Robson and then Louis Van Gaal
Watching this video makes me really proud, as someone who's grown up as a Porto fan. Might have to give my take on it, someday.
You finally commented!
@@doncarloancelotti2256 what do you mean?
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT oh. I just never find you commenting on other football videos and I'm a big fan of your content.
@@doncarloancelotti2256 owh yeah, i normally just use my regular account, instead of the channel
Could you do next Mourinho's Chelsea 2004-06?
Mourinho 2004-06= Wolves of today,
only difference is that Mourinho had better quality players
My last video was on this exact topic if you want to check it out
@@shreyanshgupta3858 but when Wolves actually open up and try to play football against smaller sides, it fucks them up quite a lot. That wasn't the case with Mourinho's Chelsea.
Propably one of the best teams to ever be in England. They would have won everything if it wasnt for a ghost-goal...
@@shreyanshgupta3858 Actually not really. Back then these guys were not high quality. Even after Jose, most of them faded back into irrelevance.
Please make a Mourinho at Chelsea or at Real Madrid where they broke the record for most goals in a season and fastest counter attack, but were still criticized for being too defensive.
My last video was on mourinho at chelsea if you want to check it out
Would rather watch one on him at inter tbh
Jon Dale there is already one on his treble at inter from Tifo
Jason FAJ oh cool
Idk why he got sacked at Real Madrid. They almost made a comeback against Dortmund.
As a United fan, having a Mourinho was a dream. It's just such a shame it never worked out. But I'll always have respect and appreciation for the man and what he's done in football.
@ingenuitised golovin agreed.
He made United relevant again
You won an Europa League. I wouldn't call that as " didn't work ".
TheKingMacgregor don’t forget that if the players don’t like the manager they just don’t win. Poignant suck the last 5 games with mou and as soon as he got sacked ponga play football again!!!
@levner brown spent more than them all put together aswell and no contention for the league or champions league. Lol
The 02/03 FC Porto was one of the best playing football team i ever saw. That season, no one could beat them.
Pedro Mendes was soooooo underrated... seriously. Tottenham and Portugal's National team should have used him more. Top CM
Duarte Falcão bem verdade
Mourinho surely deserves more respect.
The dude is a genious
Mourinho should respect others more.
RESPECT! RESPECT!
He should respect others players. If respect others he will get respect from others.
I sink so too
Mourinho and Chelsea made me a football fan and for that, I am forever grateful.
I got introduced to this team in the 2002-2003 UEFA Cup semi-finals against Lazio. The game was on TV, and I didn't have much to do that day, so I watched the game and was just so impressed by the tenacity of Porto as they shellacked the favored Lazio squad 4-1. Porto then won the UEFA Cup final in a great game against a game Celtic club. When the 2003-2004 Champions league started, Deco and Paula Ferreira were already on the European all-star lists as top players in their positions, Carvalho and Jorge Costa were solid rocks in defense, Costinha and Maniche were capable midfielders, and Derlei was a productive goal scoring striker. With all that, they were still offered at generous odds of 40-1 to win the Champions league, so I took a flyer with them with an each way bet (half my stake on them to finish runner up at 20-1), and thanks to their good play, and some good luck, I was able to buy a new car with the winnings after they won. Was quite a ride, as Derlei went down with a serious knee injury during the year that I figured doomed my chances, but McCarthy stepped up and Derlei returned in the semi's. Got real lucky in the round of 16 2cnd leg against Man U that a Man U goal was incorrectly taken away for offsides that would of seen them go up 2-0 at Old Trafford (Porto had won the first leg 2-1), so a 90th minute free kick deflection put into the net gave us a 1-1 tie and moved them to the next round. Also, the 2003-2004 UCL had the Arsenal invincibles with Henry that didn't lose a single Premier League game all year on their way to the English crown, Real Madrid's galactigos with Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Carlos, and Raul, and the defending champion AC Milan squad who would win the Italian League with a prime Kaka, Schevshenko, and plenty of firepower. Oddly enough, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and AC Milan all failed to even make the semi-finals, and Porto didn't have to play any of them. Still remember how nervous I was when Derlei was getting ready to take a penalty kick deep into the second leg at the Riazor against Deportivo LaCaruna in a 0-0 aggregate semi-final. It was then that I realized I might actually win some money. What a glorious ride. Most of my futures bets end up as sad stories, but that one was a bright shining star that will always be a beautiful memory.
I still remember the 2003 Uefa cup final, great times for a Celtic fan because I doubt we'll ever reach a European final again but little did we know we were up against the the team who'd win the Champions League the next season.
Henrik Larsson kept us in the game because he was that good, defeat hurt at the time but truth be told Porto deserved that win.
Celtic matched that great porto team.
Everything went against Celtic in that final.
The loss of Hartson before the match.
The heat which favoured porto.
Unfortunate Bobo red card.
The retirement of lubo that season- moravcik was a truly world class player like Henrik. Porto were weak in the air (two Larsson headers for goals) and with lubo to deliver set pieces to sutton Henrik bobo mjallby and laursen we would probably have won.
Sad result but great day.
YNWA
A huge point that's been overlooked is the cheating and time wasting by Porto in that final.
@@AndyPansy-hv6yr
I agree
Moirinho's teams always had a win at all costs approach.
Porto were hanging on at end and pulled every trick to waste time
@@AndyPansy-hv6yr forgot to mention the fact that celtic players tried to injure several porto players.
Rastalov Any examples?
FC Porto is a sleeping giant...
2 Intercontinental cup
2 champions league
2 uefa/Europa league cup
1 uefa super cup
FC Porto is so underrated...
absolutamente alucinado é o que és
Your name confirms you’re Portuguese, lol
Benfica is bigger than Porto
@@astveloria sporting is bigger than benfica
@@A1un9ine Barca is bigger than both
As Panathinaikos fan that played against Porto multiple times during Mourinho's era, I have to state this: huge respect to this team! Made me love the game and my team even more!
Deco, even though he achieved stardom, he was still underrated, even in his Barça times, he was mesmerising to watch!
This alone is more impressive than anything Pep has done
Pep needs spending like a maniac just to arrive to a Champions.
@@RandalfElVikingo Mou dreams of having a sextuple his first year at a club 😂
If you talk about mourinho's porto, you have to talk about the leaders.
Jorge Costa and Vítor Baía
That Porto team had Carvalho, Valente, Maniche, Deco , Paulo Ferreira , Costinha , and Helder Postiga, all of which were integral parts of the Portuguese national team from 03-06
Euro 2004 final (runners up) and WC 2006 semi-final (4th place) ;-)
but only after winning the champions cup and after Portugal lost the first match against Greece. Because yes, PT national team is somehow full of benfica players...
@@Nunocesarsa The first Greece match featured 1 Benfica player in Simao, and 3 Porto players, Costinha, Maniche, and Paulo Ferreira. The latter lost his spot in favor of Miguel, then Valente(Rui Jorge), Carvalho(Couto) and Deco(Rui Costa) came in. I'm not sure where the notion that that team featured a lot of Benfica because there was really only 1 consistent in Miguel who was better than Paulo Ferreira
That Porto's team was fenomenal. 9 portuguese players were in the national team ,helping Portugal reach the final in 2004
O único problema era que aquele palhaço Brasileiro não convocava o Baía, ele nunca sofria aquele golo na final
As a Liverpool fan..I have always liked Mourinho..Tactically superb and capable of inspiring teams to great things. He built a Chelsea team that (in it's pomp) scared the living daylights out of me..More than the current Man City do (even though City accumulate more points).. Truly great manager
Jorge Costa was one of the most underrated defenders of that decade. Doesn’t quite rank up there with Ricardo Carvalho and Pepe, but he was a beast.
In 2002/2003 Porto mainly played 4x3x3 with Maniche-Costinha-Deco in the midfield and Capucho in the right (who you forgot...), Postiga in the middle and Derlei through the left, after losing to Panathinaikos at home 0-1, for the 2nd leg Mourinho made two changes :
- The diamond 4 midfield became an habit in European games or in big games(against Sporting,Benfica,Boavista) with Alenitchev joining Costinha,Maniche and Deco with Capucho being dropped which he didn't appreciate leading to his exit to Glasgow Rangers.
- Ricardo Carvalho replaced Pedro Emanuel in the center of the defense.
Lucho was my fav Porto player ever!!! Man was awesome to watch and played with passion
@@7gunner619 Lucho Gonzales came after this era, with other players like Quaresma, Lisandro Lopez and Pepe. Lucho is my favorite midfielder from Porto alongside Deco and João Moutinho.
@@a2gomes Yeah I knew this, was just saying is all.... man could strike a ball lovely!! Probably not up there with the god Juan roman riquelme but I'd like him nearly as much.... I'm not Argentinean either
André Gomes mines actually guarin and deco. too bad guarin was a flop at inter
Carlos Alberto was very young and inexperienced but started to play on that CL 442 as a 2nd forward playing lower and falling to the left. His talent and creativity became very needed on that conservative CL system as Deco couldn't do everything himself.
Was looking forward to this for months now , Thanks a lot Tifo!
Literally watch this video from time to time, to remember the good glory days in Porto, what a legend this team and Mourinho was here. Thank you for covering this! One of the most underrated teams I gotta say, that never really got known for but glad you covered it to show everyone. Força Porto!
This is one of your best videos to date. Very helpful in understanding Mourinho's Porto and Mourinho as a manager.
Note also the influence of Villas-Boas as assistant. He studied the Celtic team in great depth before the uefa cup final.
It`s so good to remember this. One of the best teams i was lucky to see playing, with top class players like Vítor Baía, Jorge Costa, Ricardo Carvalho, Deco, Alenitchev... Greetings from a FC Porto fan
fRom a Chelsea fan Porto is my favorite Portuguese club and I hope you win Liga nos Porto is a big club with a rich history fantastic fan base and legendary players I hope to visit the city stadium and fans soon
Our golden era, with a excelent team with mostly portuguese players, mourinho really knew how to motivate them, he was so tenacious at that time, and bring so much value to our national team that time with so many porto players in word cup and euro. Now only shadows we are in quarter finals but our team is not even close to that times
That was not our Golden Era. 1987 was our best team BY FAR.
@@gabkoost i wasnt born in that time, but yes that team was so strong in that time too
Much love for Benny Mccarthy our fellow South African🙋♂️😂
Heytada, halagasha.
He was amazing for us in 2004, one of my favorite players
He was at hes peak, a beast at porto
He represented us very well.
He was a very good player. He still knows the lyrics from the song that Super Dragões, the biggest FC Porto's cheer squad, created for him.
Greetings from Portugal
Mou is still an amazing coach and I think that he'd be an amazing coach for any team that's trying to do more with less. He won three trebles, two in Porto and one in Inter, with teams that were far inferior to the main Spanish, German or English contenders. I always love watching the interviews where Zlatan, Essien, Sneijder and other amazing players talk about him.
Im a porto fan... And man the nostalgia is real 💙 PORTO
as a chelsea fan porto my favorite Portuguese team and i love everything about the club its history fans and legends

Ninguém chegava perto do nível do Deco naquele ano, nem Henry e Adriano.
In my opinion deco was the best player in the world 2003/2004.
Seeing this vid being done on 2019 is special. Thank u for making this one.
Great video explaining Mourinho's background, training philosophy, squad building and tactical analysis for 2003-04 season, BUT failed to show the 2002-03 tactical approach to the game, which was based on a totally different 4-3-3 wide and attacking formation as opposed to the more controlled and tactical approach of the 4-4-2 diamond displayed on the Champions League winning season.
Previously the 4-4-2 diamond formation
had only been used on the final part of the 2003 season, on the QF, SF and Final of the UEFA Cup.
Those who've followed closely these 2 brilliant seasons know clearly there was a big difference displayed on the gameplaying from one season to the other.
If you ask any Porto supporter he'll tell you that, despite not being as great of a glory as winning the CL, the football played on the UEFA Cup winning season was much more rewarding and enjoyable to watch.
Great video. Also important to mention how Porto's only defeat that CL campaign against Real Madrid in the group stages was the turning point that defined that strict defensive structure.
Through the UEFA campaign the year before and until then the team felt much more as an attacking side and played a bit like in the league matches, but that match against RM which Porto was punished by Real's talent up front made Mourinho aware that the defense had to react different to CL football.
Mourinho is a Legend!! One of the best in the world!!
I don’t understand how anyone can give these videos a thumbs down,. They’re brilliantly made, informative and interesting. Great work Tifo gents.
Great video, thanks for creating/sharing.
I'm a Benfica fan, but during the champions league of 2004, when Porto passed the semi-finals i was rooting for them, because a Portuguese team was in a UCL final once again (besides Benfica) I was happy that Porto won.

Pep could never. The true GOAT- Jose Mourinho.
So pep did nothing with Barca B ?
@@joshdolan9146 what did he do of relevant over there though? Im honestly asking.
João Silva
Ummmm won the biggest trophy there is for them to win, but I am sure he should've have tried harder to get them into Ucl XD.
@@gordusmaximus4990 Barcelona were 3rd in La Liga before pep guardiola was their manager and 18 points behind Real Madrid. Pep revolutionised Barcelona and football when he won La Liga B with the Barca B and then won 14 fucking trophies in 4 years at Barcelona. Pep also battered Mourinho's Real Madrid 5-0, became the 1st manager to win the treble in La Liga and created the most dominant team in football history.
Most of pep's Barcelona team were La Masia youth academy graduates like Pedro, Busquets, etc. So don't give that crap argument about he he "inherited a great team" which is what uneducated Jose fanboys love to say.
Why compare now?!?!?! Both had obscene budgets at city and Utd and look who spend the cash better?? Peps teams always play gorgeous football yet Jose parks bus with a team assembled for 300-400mil?!??! All Chelseas problems now are due to Jose instilling a negative footballing style....
First time browsing thru your channel... YOUR QUALITY OF CONTENT IS UNMATCHED! a true Channel for the futbol conasuer
As someone relatively new to football... Thank you.. Your channel is 🔥🔥🔥... binging rn
@Tifo Football Thank you so much for this amazing video. Can you make a video about André Villas Boas on FC Porto season 2010-2011?
Maniche, Paulo Ferreira, Carvalho, Costinha, Nuno Valente, Deco etc. That was a glorious team
Great video! Mourinho is and always will be one of the best.
So we'll made and your research is spot on. Very professional, all your videos are extremely well documented. Salute you sir
Incredible manager, incredible figure in the modern game whose legacy remains strong. Sold out by the wigs at Manchester, uncomfortable with his independence and increasingly brazen politics, and to a certain extent certain 'figures' in the UTD setup, but remains a figure to watch IMHO. Great, measured journey into the not so distant past Tifo Team!
As Tifo mentioned, Mourinho is outdated. Today, to be successful, coaches need to be either kowtow to their star players (Ancelotti), ruthless and cut out anyone opposing him (Pep) or both (Zidane). Players have learned that the club owners treat them as precious commodity and would rather replace the coach to appease them. No matter how brilliant a coach is, the players could send them off in a jiffy, just look at Chelsea coaches, Ancelotti at Bayern, Luis Enrique
at Barca.
@@lc9245 No denying these are the prevailing winds, but the tradition at Old Trafford was different. His ability to motivate willing and capable players was up there with the best. Could squeeze a performance out of players that was reminscent of late-era Fergie - best MUFC manager in the post-SAF era.
That's a total manipulation of the facts. He brought the end at Man Utd on himself as well, by essentially wanting the sack. He's no innocent party in this matter as you're making out to be.
But I would love to know how you what goes on behind the scenes at Utd. Seeing as fans of the club wouldn't even know.
@@golovinpress6492 it's a shame you make yourself out to be more clever than you actually are.
@@MrGts92 MrGts92 behind the scenes mate? I see what you see, the papers and the football. its called a perspective, try one some time. and what's innocence (or guilt) got to do with his position? he was the hired manager of Manchester United football club, not a convict. and the facts are he was inadequately backed in the summer to face up to city's petrodollars. he pointed this out, but the press line was that glum Jose should cheer up. 'respect, man. respect.'
You guys have been teasing Bobby Robson for ages!!! PLEASE do a video on Bobby Robson, particularly his barca 97/98 team 🙏
He did managed FC Porto as well, a winner but mostly a true gentleman.
Superb analysis, excellent delivery and done in a way that made the subtleties of tactics interesting and easy to understand.
Your channel is amazing! The best at explaining football👍👍👍
People forget how he dismantled the great Barcelona side of Pep with Inter Milan down to 10 men for half the tie
Seville 2003 was hard to take but it was a game I'll never forget. Some of the best goals I've seen especially Larsson's second header.
No talk of the legend and captain jorge Costa who was sent away by the manager before mourinho to play for Charlton on lone. For Mourinho to bring him back and make he captain . The tank costa was slow but knew how to hold the defence together unsung legend.
This is a good point. Sadly there’s not time to talk about everything! - Alex
The music is so great, it makes how incredible this is even more mysterious like it's a miracle.
Great analysis, would like it a hundred times if I could. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Maniche and Pedro Mendes could always catch you off guard with a 30 yard howling goal!
The special one my idol. as a Cardiff city fan we have not been in the premier league much so I followed Jose and I will never regret he might not play the most exciting football but he knows how to win and is a serial winner and his tactics no one will ever come close to
you make great videos, great work
After that champions league, UEFA make sure the draws favored the most popular teams.
Holy smokes. I've beem dismissive of JM in recent years, but you've rehabilitated his memory in my head - I remember when I agreed he was special. He really was, once.
You are just simply brilliant! Bravo
Great video! Could please make a Tactics Explained about Pep‘s Barcelona?
If every club in the world had the same budget Portugal would have so many more european titles.
If only my Auntie had bollocks she would have been my Uncle.
@@jameswilson1984 In Italy we say *if my grandpa had 3 balls, he'd be a pinball*
@array s no it is not... Benfica is... Benfica has more titles and is better financial nowadays... And even if benfica has no champions, it has 2 european champions cup which was the previous champions.
If every club in the world had the same budget, there would be inflation.
@array s hahaha you call others idiot but you say that Porto is bigger/better than Benfica... Well done, you played yourself!
Porto fans like me, will never forget these golden years 💙
Your profile pic is heart piercing.
What I have been waiting for!!
As a massive Porto fan I really appreciate this video. Thank you Tifo. People love to criticise Mourinho now but they forget the miracle he accomplished by leading a team with a comparatively very limited budget like Porto to a CL trophy. We played some very good football under him too. Shame he seems to have lost his way.
As a Man Utd fan, I still love him. It's a pity that things didn't work out for him at Old Trafford. I hope he gets another opportunity at another club and go on to win trophies.
Mourinho always seems to do his best work with a team of outcasts. It's no coincidence he had his greatest triumphs at Porto and Inter. If he takes over a similar club like those two, then we should all be very afraid.
Easier to get smaller egos to listen and learn. Can you imagine telling pogba "No, you will not do that. You will do it my way."
Inter were hardly outcasts though. The side was old, but not outcasts. The back 4 consisted of Lucio and Samuel, both considered to be one of the best centre backs of their generations with Maicon and Zanetti, again both being highly regarded players, Zanetti being club legend. Further in attack, he had Sneijder And Eto'o, who were great players. Many thought Sneijder should have won the Balon D'or that season.
Honestly, after Porto, his best work was with Real. To build a team and ending being Champion with Real Madrid during the peak of the best club squad that has, by far, existed, was an insane achievement. That Barça team was unbeatable for years. Only Mourinho with Prime Ronaldo managed to beat them in copa del rei and the league. The degree of difficulty in fighting the media and building a team and philosophy capable to shake Barça couldn't have been done by anyone else.
@@gabkoost That's certainly a valid position and a strong one. In my opinion, I was thinking more in the span of Mourinho's career. His Porto team was built from players no one really thought to much about. And his Inter team, wow, Bayern thought Lucio was finished, Real thought Cambiasso was finished, Motta from Genoa was a master stroke, Barca thought Eto was finished and traded him for Zlatan, and Milito, also from Genoa. I think my overall point, now that I come back to it, is that when Mourinho has all that money and power he forgets some of his best qualities.
Spurs will win some trophy this season. He finally have leaders in the squad to lead the team (Lloris, Son, Kane, Bale, Hoijberg which is captain for their respective country),
at manchester he did not have a proper captain-leader thus the dressing room collapsed.
Broke my heart when my two teams Celtic and year later Manchester United got beat by Porto but what a side they were. Really enjoyed that era Jose was something completely new. Victor Bia safe as houses with Jorge Costa, Derli and wee deco pulling the strings 👏
Great video. Thank you.
Please make a video on how Real Madrid can make the most of their talented players.
Love this video. It is a must watch for Mourinho haters who say he is ambassador of boring football.
great analysis... i like porto until now, especially watching Pepe and Casillas still contributing despite being past their primes.
So good memories.. this team was fantastic
An absolute beauty, as a Porto fan i even like more the vid. Really the seasons 02/03 and 03/04 will be forever remember in the history of the modern game especially in the portuguese. I love Mourinho and the big question is that if they all stayed in Porto for more years what could have happen?
The best football oriented channel on youtube
Kinda underselling the quality in the squad. Deco and Carvalho were world class players... McCarthy probably over performed, but the team had talent.
You shouldn't be able to win a CL win only 2 players with clear world class generational talent. Baia had been a world class keeper previously in his career although he was excellent that season. Carlos Alberto had world class potential at 19yo and played like such when called up. The rest of the team were just players in their absolute prime and perfectly fitted in that team system. Guys like Maniche, Costinha, Paulo Ferreira, Derlei were huge overachievers that never reproduced this level ever again. 2 more players were above average. Alenitchev and Pedro Mendes. Even so, that team was extremely under talented when compared to the richest clubs.
Awesome video!!
Brought a tear to my eye.
mourinho's 4-4-2 diamond definitely is the system of the future
‘Falling behind the times’ this aged well
Well, it didn't actually but okay 😂
Interesting to note his best starting XI in UEFA Champions League 2004 had 9 Portuguese players yet only 4 of those players were part of Portugal's best starting XI from UEFA Euro 2004. They were Costinha, Ricardo Carvalho, Maniche and Deco. Just shows the depth of the Portugal's national team at that time, still has great depth today
Well Vitor Baía was arguably the best goalkeeper in the Europe but nooo dumb stupid Scolari has to put chicken hands Ricardo ahead of him
@@RafaelSantos-di5yw I disagreed with Scolari too but to be fair, Ricardo overall put in a good performance at the EUROs
Great video. Could you make one of Van Gaals Ajax Team from 1995? The youngest team to ever win the Champions League.
Apparently Porto made a net profit in transfer fees during Mourinho's 2 and a half years in charge.
Also I believe that at the time of the 2003 UEFA Cup final, the Martin O'Neill's Celtic team cost at least twice as much money to put together as Mourinho's Porto team, and had a significantly higher wage bill.
No it's the players who need to revert.The special one was absolutely right about man utd.
Great video - can you make a video on why time has caught up with Mourinho?
I think this yr, esp with the time Mou had off, he is getting back to some of these ideas and he is succeeding in new ways with his current club.
The squad wasn't weak at all. Those players weren't hyped and their market value wasn't at it's peak but that happens because of the increasingly speculation surrounding player's nowadays. The same speculation that puts João Felix in Madrid for €124M when he is not even €60M worth. Mourinho knew that very well since his quick stay in Benfica where he made an astonishing campaign with a squad that was really bad beating a great Sporting (who was the champion) 3-0.
Porto had a very balanced squad with players that respected each other the coach and thd club.
It is easy to talk about names such as R.Carvalho or Deco but Maniche, Quaresma, J.Costa, Costinha or Alenitchev were just as important. Even McCarthy, P.Ferreira, Pedro Mendes and Bosingwa were determinant for their campaign.
In his early years Mourinho would never value superstar players. Mourinho loves to coach guys such as Drogba, Deco, Essien, Terry or Materazzi he doesn't get along with players like Pogba, C.Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar.
As a Porto fan, I was only 8 when they won the CL trophy. But I still remember it like it was yesterday. Now modern football with these billionaire owners and ridiculous transfer fees is just sad. Really enjoyed watching what Ajax did this season, too bad they didn't win.
as a chelsea fan porto my favorite Portuguese team and i love everything about the club its history fans and legends
I have seen many clips and I was expecting something nice. Before watching I have always tried to imagine in my head a formation/tactic/style/and defensing cover ups for the gaps. This porto side of Mourinho is very similair to the Image in my head. Nice video thnks! Sometimes I Day dream a thought of becoming a Football manager because I love the game but without any experience of it besides on the streets im not so sure about the picture.
What a fantastic little video
