Mourinho & Simeone Are Simply The Same In One Thing

Felipe Luis has worked under both coaches in recent times, signing for Mourinho's Chelsea from Simeone's Atletico Madrid for just over €20 million this summer.

And the 29-year-old has now compared the pair's styles, with both having enjoyed numerous successes during their coaching careers.


"They are completely different coaches, but have one thing in common: the ambition to win in their teams," the 29-year-old was quoted as saying by Sport.

Mourinho has so far more commonly opted to play Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic in his team's full-back positions, but the star says he is happy to fight for his place.

"Everyone here wants to play," he continued.
"When you do not play, you're not happy at all, but I came here, to Chelsea, to win titles. The team is always more important than any player.

"The season is very long... Everyone will have their chance and will try to take it."
Filipe also said he is "delighted" to be able to work with Mourinho, adding that the Portuguese trainer has not asked him to be more defensive than during his time at Atletico and has given him "the same freedom" to attack.
