In 2010, it was destined to be a tumultuous year.
The "Special One" arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium with his second Champions League trophy.
Guardiola led Barcelona to become Spain's first "Triple Crown" winner, while Mourinho led Inter Milan to become Italy's first "Triple Crown" winner.
The rivalry between these two mentors brought significant attention to the La Liga.
Today was Mourinho's first meeting with the locker room players, and as he walked in, everyone's eyes turned to this stern man.
This was a "special man," someone who seemed "funny" when he smiled, but emitted an air of authority and pressure when serious.
"He doesn't seem easy to get along with," Marcelo whispered next to Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong frowned at Marcelo, warning him with a glance to watch his words.
Marcelo pressed his lips together, indicating he understood. After Mourinho entered, the players glanced at Chen Zhong before focusing on Mourinho, which made a glint appear in Mourinho's eyes.
