Jose Mourinho has set himself the task of saying what the ideal team looks like, made up of the players he has coached throughout his career.

Speaking on the ‘Obi Odin’ (former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel) podcast, Mourinho, 60, picked 11 of the perfect footballers ‘The Special One’ has coached so far in his career.

We are talking about a team in a 4-3-3 tactical scheme and which includes:

Petr Cech (from the Chelsea period) / GOALKEEPER

Javier Zanetti (Inter), John Terry (Chelsea), Ricardo Carvalho (Real), William Gallas (Chelsea) / protection

Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Claude Makelele (Chelsea), Mesut Ozil (Real Madrid) / midfielders

Cristiano Ronaldo (Real), Didier Drogba (Chelsea), Eden Hazard (Chelsea) / attackers.

It is interesting that in the ideal team chosen by Mourinho, such players as Sergio Ramos (from the period of “Real”), Harry Kane (from the period of “Tottenham”) and Michael Essien (from the period of “Chelsea”) are missing.
