The day Mou saved Ben Haim from Didier Drogba's wrath

Living under Jose Mourinho is quite an adventure. Recently, Amazon cameras captured his arrival and his first bars at Tottenham Hotspur seeing the work 'from within' of the Portuguese coach. Happiness, doubts, abandonments, claims or even tension between certain colleagues appeared while it was being built a Tottenham who already has in a final, classified for the round of 32 of the Europa League but going through a bad streak in the League, falling to eighth position.

Jose Mourinho is used to dealing with the stars of different teams and his character helps him to settle as a leader. Always considered a harsh type by his detractors, he now shows a sense of humor from his Instagram account and also with the anecdotes that his former players reveal about his past.

This time, Sidwell, a former Chelsea player, revealed how Mourinho prevented Drogba from coming to blows with Tal Ben Haim, Israeli defender of the blues in his first stage there. “In that locker room there were a lot of leaders: Terry, Lampard, Essien, Drogba, Ballack … In training, people beat each other. I remember Essien breaking Shevchenko in two. One day Tal Ben Haim stormed into Drogba and Drogba got up saying “I'm going to kill him.” Mourinho, quickly, released him: “I need him on Saturday, you can kill him next week if you want”. Mourinho loved that it happened, I think he was even looking for it, “said the former London footballer who was only one season in the blue team.

In that first stage as Chelsea coach, Jose Mourinho arrived from Porto as European champion to confirm himself as one of the best directors in one of the major leagues. He won two Premier League, one FA Cup, two EFL Cup and one Community Shield, bringing together all the trophies at stake in English football in different seasons.
