"Barcelona's biggest problem is that they don't have a Plan B."

In the chairman's box at the Bernabéu Stadium, Real Madrid general manager Valdano shook his head and sighed with deep emotion as he watched the situation on the pitch.

Even after bringing on Eto'o, Barcelona continued to control most of the possession, yet they still couldn't break through Bayern's defense. Their chances to create danger were growing fewer, while their own mistakes were becoming more frequent.

The match was about to enter the eightieth minute, and Mourinho didn't seem to have any good solutions either. He could only fidget anxiously on the sidelines.

"Mourinho is still best at managing physically strong players. Give him Xavi and Iniesta, and he simply can't handle them."

Valdano's words weren't baseless. On the contrary, Mourinho placed great importance on the physically powerful midfielders Yaya Touré and Seydou Keita at Barcelona. He had even wanted to further strengthen the midfield during the summer, but the effort had failed.

"In terms of management, Mourinho keeps things too tight. He doesn't understand how to balance tension and relaxation. Something will definitely go wrong within two years. Sooner or later, Barcelona's players won't be able to stand this approach." Valdano spoke with absolute certainty.

Some people admired Mourinho's management, while others opposed it.

Even the same person could form completely different impressions of Mourinho's management at different stages of life.

But Mourinho was still Mourinho. He had never changed!

He had always been a domineering tyrant in the dressing room, ruling over everyone inside it.

Catalan media had even revealed earlier that his assistant coach, Tito Vilanova, had gotten into an argument with him. Although the two had quickly reconciled, it was still not difficult to see how much patience Barcelona had for Mourinho's methods.
