Mourinho picks the best 11 people in his heart: Drogba and Ronaldo lead, and Messi is not among them.
Football legend Jose Mourinho surprised many fans when he attended the blog of Chelsea legend Mikel, as he rarely reveals what he considers to be the "best 11 in football". The strikers are Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, but Messi is not one of them.
Mourinho believes that the best 11 in the list are goalkeepers, Galla, Carvalho, John Terry and Zanetti. The trio is Sneijder, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, and the strikers: Eden Hazard, Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the combination of these two is very good.
The list includes eight former Chelsea players who have played under Jose Mourinho, which shows that he has a deep affection for the club. Sneijder won the UEFA Champions League trophy with Inter Milan, while both Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele were key members of the squad during Jose Mourinho's time at Chelsea.
Surprisingly, Mourinho has put Galla on the left, knowing that he left Chelsea because he didn't want to play as a left winger. In addition, since Messi has long been considered the best footballer in the world, Messi's non-selection has also sparked a certain amount of controversy.
However, from this list, we can understand the personal emotions that Mourinho has experienced during his time in charge and the huge impact of his coaching experience. Eden Hazard, Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, these people have all worked with Mourinho, but Messi is not under him, perhaps because of the lack of this connection.
