Matic reveals United players hide from Mourinho after a loss
Manchester United mid-fielder Matic has opened up regarding how players approach their manager Jose Mourinho after the team suffers a loss. He says that players are literally afraid of the manager when they lose and run from him during training. However, Matic disregarded rumors of rifts in the dressing room and praised Mourinho for his contributions to the Premier League. Here are details.
Mourinho hates losing, says Matic
Matic further commented that Mourinho absolutely detests losing, and off the field, he is a completely different man. The 30-year-old mid-fielder added that Mourinho is always under intense pressure to win, and when he doesn't, he tries to find a remedy as soon as possible.
Hazard had earlier made the same comments regarding Mourinho
Earlier, Eden Hazard had made similar comments. He had said that Mourinho criticizes his players harshly if they lose a match or do not perform according to his expectations, but is the best coach in the world if they win. Hazard had also disregarded comments that Mourinho's tactics tend to restrict players from displaying their natural styles on the football pitch.
Some instances of Mourinho's reactions when he lost
Mourinho hates losing, and there are several instances in this regard- he infamously poked Tito Vilanova in the eye when Barcelona defeated Real Madrid during his stint at Bernabeu. His celebration when Inter Milan defeated Barcelona in the 2010 Champions League semi-finals is another testament to his passion. Mourinho has always demanded the best from his players and gives the best he can.
United have a huge week ahead
Manchester United will be facing Juventus tomorrow for their Champions League fixture at Turin. This will be an important clash to register their names in the knockout stages. Further, they will be facing neighbors Manchester City on Sunday.
