Jose Mourinho was humiliated at Stamford Bridge, his former home stadium until December 2015. Before the game started, I had expected Manchester United to beat Chelsea FC despite its away game.
However, Chelsea stole a goal 30 seconds after the kick off due to a poor coordination between the defender and the goalkeeper. Jose Mourinho had to change the game plan after one goal was conceded, but Manchester United could not change the game and were beaten to 4 - 0 miserable defeat.
What concerns me is that ManU failed to demonstrate resilience. Nobody is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes. When it comes to football games, you may take a terrible start and concede a goal. What matters is how you recover from the painful mistake you have made and show resilience. Man U failed to do so.
What has Jose Mourinho been doing to instill a fighting spirit and winner mentality so that his 'boys' could demonstrate resilience and neutralize the game? What you see on the pitch is the outcome and you do not see the process during a game. However, as HR Professional, I cannot stop imagining the process behind the pitch.
I wonder if there are ingredients to resilience. If there are, are there confidence, self-esteem, or recognition? Perhaps I should watch more football games from this angle so that I can formulate a hypothesis around how resilience can be formed.
