#3 His negative tactics
Real Madrid are a club that pride themselves on not just winning, but winning very well and in style, with the manner in which a result is gotten almost having as much significance as the result itself.
Having had some of the most legendary footballers throughout history represent them, it is almost a given that the players are expected to always turn up the style whenever they put on the famous white jersey of Real Madrid.
A perfect example of how seriously positive football is taken at the Bernabeu comes in the fact that legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello who guided the club to the La Liga title in 2006/2007 (ending a drought of three trophyless seasons) was still sacked just few days after the triumph for playing negative football.
Jose Mourinho has made a name for himself throughout his managerial career as a pragmatic manager who prizes defensive solidity above everything else, caring little about aesthetics and preferring to get victory at all costs.
Most of Jose's successes have come on the back of strong defensive performances from his players. Considering how much emphasis is placed on attractive football at Real, it is not rocket science to understand that the notoriously demanding Bernabeu crowd would not warm up to his tactics.
