for the book.
He was in the dressing room that day in Lisbon when Celtic won and he said everybody was just ecstatic that they had beaten the king of anti-football in the decade.
100%.
Mourinho used his playbook, that's all the signs, the motivational techniques, writing slogans on the dressing room walls, which HH did, Mourinho did that four decades later with Chelsea, particularly the bombast in the media, playing the media games, trying to distract attention from his players.
He really came easily to HH because he had such a huge ego.
He loved waging war on rival managers and goading rival players in the press and eating up that attention.
He was in love with the camera.
He also reminded me of Guardiola in just the intensity, the obsessiveness, like the control was the byword with HH.
He was obsessed with controlling the lives of his players, controlling their diets, their social lives.
Guardiola similarly, like never sit still.
In Spain, they have a word, pasado, like kind of,
pain in the ass kind of he just doesn't let up and I mentioned in the book you know Guardiola was similar in that regard like when he first took on coaching the Barca B team his first gig in coaching he used to phone up the players after midnight on their landlines to check that they were in and you know they'd get fines if they weren't that kind of in HHS day was checking their hotel bedrooms and
making sure they were in bed.
He wouldn't let them sleep.
They had to be in bed by 10 o'clock every night, except one night a week.
He was just remorseless in that sense.
Yeah, exactly.
He didn't trust players.
How could he when he didn't trust himself when he was such a philanderer in the womanising sense?
Yeah.
