he is called that because his teams at Chelsea and at times at Inter and Madrid he was defense first and always.
That Madrid team was the one time he let them be free. When they started conceding, he reigned that in fast as fukk.
This Chelsea team plays nice tho. I guess it depends on if he has the pieces.
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't. Mou is a pragmatic, his teams play the way he thinks they best to win.
I just got on Wikipedia to get those stats :
His Porto (his last year excepted) was a more than 2 goals per game
His Chelsea scored 72 goals in the league both seasons so he was a little less than 2 goals per match
His Inter scored 70 and 75 goals in the Calcio so there also, a little less than 2 goals per match
His Real scored 102, 103 and 121 (!) goals in la Liga, so it's between 2.5 and 3 goals per game
My question is then simple, how can a coach whose teams score that much can be labeled as defensive ?
