re: Jose Mourinho labels coaches who don't play counter-attacking football as stupid

According to a recent book written about him, Mourinho hates possession football the same way Woody Hayes hated the passing game. Mourinho believes playing possession football causes teams to make more mistakes and have less control over the game.

According to the Spanish journalist Diego Torres in a recent book, Jose Mourinho’s attitude to possession at Real Madrid was summed up thus.

1. The game is won by the team who commits fewer errors.
2. Football favours whoever provokes more errors in the opposition.
3. Away from home, instead of trying to be superior to the opposition, it's better to encourage their mistakes.
4. Whoever has the ball is more likely to make a mistake.
5. Whoever renounces possession reduces the possibility of making a mistake.
6. Whoever has the ball has fear.
7. Whoever does not have it is therefore stronger.
