Jose Mourinho is my 2nd favourite active manager(after Carlo)so I am gonna have a go at replicating his style of counter attacking and efficient football, I won't build a defensive team but I'll surely build a team that is strong in defensive terms.I'll need a bit of help and a couple of pointers here and there tho, so that is why I am posting this here.I'll be trying to replicate his most recent stint at Chelsea since I have most data and knowledge of that.The Formation will be 4-2-3-1.
Main Overview
Mentality:Counter ~ No arguments here, Jose's teams always play reactive, counter attacking football
Flexibility: Flexible ~ Jose's teams are neither very fluid nor very rigid
Salient Features of a Jose Team
-Well organised defense
-Whole is greater than the sum of its parts mentality
-Counter attacking football
-Usage of flanks
-Vertical and horizontal Compactness
-Two solid banks of four
-Muscular and strong pressing
-Creative freedom afforded to only a certain group of players
My image of this tactic is to play counter attacking football with pace down the flanks, pressing the opposition in their half and then quickly retreating into our own when they enter our half while forming 2 compact banks of four and waiting for the turnover to go on the counter(this is very slow unless I use be more disciplined, this the instruction).Eden Hazard plays in the left half space and creates while the LB runs rampant up and down the flank, Willian creates from wide, so Azpillicueta is more conservative, Costa hassles the defense and makes runs in behind in channels to through balls or uses his physicality to head whipped crosses into the net.
These translate to TIs and PIs as follows(according to me, anyway)
Team Instructions
Tempo: High
Width: Narrow
D-Line: Normal
No offside trap
Closing Down: More
Prevent Short GK Distribution
Tackling:No instruction selected
Build up: Exploit the Flanks
Pass into Space
Mixed Passing
Be More Disciplined
Work the ball into box
Players, roles, duties and instructions
Courtois: GK(D) Throw it long
Terry and Cahill: CD(D) Close down less
Azpillicueta:WB(D) RB Get further forward, stay wider and cross more often
(New LB):CWB(S) Get further forward, cross More often, stay wider, tackle harder close down more
Fabregas M(C) DLP(S)- More Risky Passes, More direct passes(if needed)
Matic M(C) BWM(d)- Close down much more, tackle harder
Oscar AM(S)- Close Down More, More Risky Passes and Tackle Harder(optional- Move into channels)
Hazard IF(At)- Sit Narrower, Roam from Position, Close down more and More Risky Passes.
Willian: W(S) Get further forward, cross more often, close down more and More Risky Passes
Diego Costa CF(At₹Tackle Harder
