José Mourinho explaining why he first turned Cristiano Ronaldo into a striker in 2011 will never get old. When football's biggest ever goalscorer was truly born.

Ronaldo's previous 5 years (2006-2011): 177 goals in 244 games (0,73 goals p/g) Ronaldo's following 5 years (2011-2016), after Mourinho's tweak showed how dangerous he is if someone covers for him at the back: 278 goals in 259 games (1,08 goals p/g) This was a game changer.

Master Jose

Ronaldo Vs arsenal 2009 ucl semi played as a 9. SAF was the first to use him as a 9

Tactical genius 👏 🙌

Jose should take over the Portugal NT. They will win the WC

He played as striker for united in 2009

The best coach Jose

@stabidoo can’t fully take credit for this since he did it at Man U when Tevez and Rooney did all the running for him.

So no credit for Sir Alex 😳

It was only in that game, though. He basically always played as a winger for Mourinho. And even in that game he was playing RW when he scored the goal (after Adebayor came in).
