Mourinho and chaos - is Real Madrid boss misunderstood?

Barcelona fans have long teased Jose Mourinho, with their insult of choice being traductor - Spanish for translator.
It is their way of mocking the Real Madrid manager's humble beginnings.
Learning his future trade while serving as an interpreter for the legendary Sir Bobby Robson, Mourinho followed Robson from Sporting to Porto, before the pair reached Barcelona in 1996.
Four years later Mourinho was the manager of Benfica, the first steps in a coaching career that would lead him to Champions League glory, twice, and success in England, Italy and Spain.
So much more than merely a translator, even while at Barcelona, the Portuguese boss' wide and varied success best illustrates the true qualities that underpin him - diligent, determined, introspective, able to thrive in chaos, and tactically brilliant.
