Jose Mourinho talked about how the nature of players in the last decade has changed.

"I had to adapt to a new world, to a new generation. I had to understand the difference between guys like Frank Lampard, who at 23 was already a man, thought about football, worked on himself and was a professional, and new guys who are still 23 years old at their age, "said Mourinho.

"Now I call them" boys ", not" men ". After all, they are children, and all that surrounds them, does not help them either in life or in work. I had to adapt to all this.

10 years ago, none of the players were sitting in the locker room with the phone. Now everything has changed. But you need to take this, because if you start to fight it, then there will be a conflict ".

"If you forbid players to do something, even if it's some kind of petty nonsense in social networks, then you'll go against nature. I have to say that I have a son and a daughter of about the same age, so this helps me a lot to understand the new world. The key to all is the understanding of the people you work with ".
