The person standing outside the chessboard is always considered to have soberness, no pressure and most importantly, an extremely safe position to evaluate, "play cards", and even judge. At the present time, people look at Mourinho and see the philosophy as somewhat outdated, see the problems in the dressing room in the past. Everyone has their own reasons to prove themselves right when saying that Real Madrid is playing a risky gamble.
But the "insider card" of the coach carries a completely different logic. Don Perez does not operate with the memories or emotions of anyone else. Only insiders know the cards in hand, know what the Real's dressing room is redundant or lacking. Perhaps, a team full of stars is in need of sufficient prestige, edginess like Mourinho to boost morale, or simply someone willing to be a "shield" to endure all media criticisms.
The story of Real Madrid and Mourinho is actually not unfamiliar to the flow of social life. Every day, in cyberspace or in a corner of a coffee shop, anyone can become a "specialist" in everything in the world. People stand outside to judge local planning decisions, business personnel strategies, or even neighbors' parenting methods. Everyone thinks they are right because they judge from their own perspective, with the result already achieved, with words spoken without being held accountable. They do not have to stay up all night facing the pressure of survival, do not have to bear pressure from countless hidden corners that only the person holding the card can understand.
In organizational management as well as life, the appointment of personnel and then dismissal due to inefficiency, or making wrong choices and having to redo them is very normal. The worrying trap for managers is not making controversial decisions, but being caught up in whispers from somewhere out there.
Time always answers for every gamble. Outsiders may be right in theory, but the main player must be brave to go to the end of their choice, take responsibility and correct mistakes when the move is not as desired.
