Messi makes Mourinho a very good coach

Jose Mourinho admitted that Lionel Messi had made himself a good coach. Because Mourinho was forced to think to stop it.

Mourinho met Messi for the first time while still training at Chelsea. At that time, La Pulga strengthened Barca in the last 16 Champions League matches 2005/2006.

Mourinho met Messi more than 20 times. At this point too, he must think seriously to stop Messi's agility.

That turned out to be a blessing for Mourinho. He felt he could be a better coach when he had to find a way to deactivate players from the same class as Messi.
"I always say that I owe a lot to my players and those I have never coached, but that has caused many problems for my team," the Portuguese coach told EFE, quoted by Marca.

"For example, Messi, he never played with me, but he fought against my team and made me a better coach because he had to get ready for the match (to stop it", he continued.
"When I talk about Messi, that also includes other great players I met," Mourinho said.
