Jose Mourinho is an excellent manager in modern football, who has won many titles and many controversies. De Bruyne and Salah, two players, originally belonged to Mourinho, but they were released and left during their tenure, and they have been criticized by many fans for the lack of Bole's vision.
Ten years ago, De Bruyne left Chelsea to officially move to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, and then became Europe's assist king, favored by Pep Guardiola, and returned to the Premier League after more than a year to join Manchester City. Since then, a generation of excellent midfielders has risen, De Bruyne has made Manchester City, and Manchester City has also achieved De Bruyne.
Also 10 years ago, Salah was at Chelsea, and like Kevin De Bruyne, he was on loan for a long time. Before Jose Mourinho left Chelsea, Roma brought in the Egyptian striker on loan first and then buyout. After helping Roma finish runners-up in Serie A, Jurgen Klopp handed over an olive branch to bring Salah back to the Premier League and provide Liverpool with a steady stream of goals.
The departures of De Bruyne and Salah both occurred during Jose Mourinho's tenure at Chelsea, so they will not be employed, and it has also become a direction for people to criticize Mourinho.
Recently, De Bruyne looked back on his days working with Mourinho in an interview, and believed that it was he who made the request to leave, while Mourinho himself hoped that he could stay.
Kevin De Bruyne said he knew he would be out on loan in his first year at Chelsea, so he spent a wonderful year at Bremen. However, Kevin De Bruyne believes in his own ability and understands that Chelsea have a number of good players who will affect the development of his football career due to the continued loan and return, and he does not want to face this situation again, so he has made a transfer request.
Indeed, Chelsea were a formidable team at the time, with star players such as Frank Lampard, Oscar, Essien and Juan Mata in midfield. De Bruyne, who was only in his early 20s, was still a little immature at the time, and it was difficult for him to compete with his teammates and find his place in the team. Therefore, leaving the team has become a reasonable choice, after all, people move to work, change the environment, and the development will be different.
It can only be said that Mourinho had a number of good players at the time, and it was indeed a bit difficult for young people to rise up, and for a long time, Chelsea were nicknamed "taxis". Just like Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, if it weren't for the injuries of strikers such as Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial, and Van Gaal's use of newcomers out of desperation, there would be no future No.10 shirt owner. Opportunity is often very important for a player.
Therefore, the departure of De Bruyne and Salah is similar for the same reason, the young people do not have absolute strength, and they are still in the growth period, and the strength of the team at that time is also very strong. Mourinho didn't do anything wrong, he could only say that the timing was not right, he didn't meet the right person at the right time.
In this regard, many fans also have a lot of opinions, De Bruyne and Salah, may have to thank Chelsea for being generous and letting them out to "practice". If they had stayed at Chelsea during that period, or continued on loan, they might have been left on the bench now, and they simply wouldn't have reached the heights they are now.
Perhaps, according to Mourinho's style of play, midfielders like Essien, Ramires and Frank Lampard, who can pass the ball and also have the ability to intercept, are the priority candidates, and the likes of Juan Mata will have to leave the team even if he wins Chelsea's best for two consecutive years.
Or perhaps, Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois, who fought side by side during Genk's time to win the Belgian title together, had the opportunity to lose the possibility of getting together on the eve of the reunion at Chelsea. Due to some contradictions between the two, De Bruyne also knew that he would not stay in the same team as Courtois again, so he resolutely chose to leave, even if Mourinho's retention had no effect.
Regarding the question of De Bruyne's departure from Chelsea, these reasons have always been the most speculated by the outside world, which factor do you think is the most critical? Today, De Bruyne and Salah, through their own efforts, have grown into top superstars in the Premier League, and they are indispensable mainstays for Manchester City and Liverpool. Let the past pass.
