Terry: Mourinho would often reunite us with our children at the training ground on Sunday mornings

November 11th: Recently, former Chelsea captain Terry accepted an interview with talksport. He talked about then coach Mourinho’s unique training method of allowing players to spend time with their families.

Mourinho's tactical wisdom is often praised as the key to leading his team to three Premier League titles. However, perhaps it is his unique approach to training - allowing players to train with their families after Saturday games - that is the real secret.

In 2004, Mourinho was appointed as Chelsea head coach shortly after leading Porto to win the Champions League. In his first season in charge, he won the League Cup and ended Chelsea's 50-year wait for the league title. In the 2004/05 season, Chelsea conceded only 15 goals and maintained a record of 25 clean sheets, a record that has not yet been broken. The following year, he led the team to win the Premier League championship again, and won it again in 2015 when he coached Chelsea for the second time.

While his team is known for its solid defense, the players may have gained extra motivation from wanting to enjoy downtime with their families after games. Former captain Terry revealed in a video posted on TikTok that Mourinho's methods left him with many good memories. While walking with his wife Toni, Terry asked her who her favorite manager was and Toni replied Mourinho, calling him "very good". Terry added: "The same thing with the kids, how much did they like him?"

Tony replied: "They loved him so much and still do. He was really good and the kids (twins George and Summer) used to go to training with you." Terry explained: "People may not see that side of Mourinho but he would often do it on Sunday mornings because we used to We don't get to see the kids so our wives take care of them all week. "So Sunday is usually a recovery day. Mine, Lampard's kids, Drogba's kids, they do recovery runs with us, we have breakfast and lunch together, and it's great for the wives too. Taking a break at home, the players can spend some quality time with their children."

Terry also revealed that his children have never forgotten the time they spent at Chelsea's Cobham training base, when they played tricks on other players with David Luiz: "He often said that the children were 'ugly', and he still says that when he sees them. But with such a character, spending time with the children! He was like a big kid, so the kids still loved him." Terry added: "Louis would put the kids in big buckets of equipment and cover them with towels. When the players came in, he would bang the buckets and scare them. The kids still talk about those moments, and they are special memories in the family."source:7m cn tieng viet
