Former Real Madrid star Marcelo says Jose Mourinho taught him to be more aggressive on the ball.
Mourinho served as Los Blancos manager between 2010 to 2013, and Marcelo was one of the integral players of the manager’s setup. Under his tutelage, the Spanish giants won the 2011 Copa del Rey and 2012 La Liga.
In an interview with El Homiguero, Marcelo spoke about Mourinho and the influence he had on his career.

“Mourinho taught me to be more aggressive. I always wanted to have the ball, but he taught me that I had to steal the ball first. He helped me a lot,” he said.
“He told me: ‘You don’t know how to defend. I’m going to teach you, and I’m going to make you the best.’ It’s nice.
