#4 Mind Stone – Jose Mourinho

Mou
Mourinho has masterminded innumerable triumphs

In the MCU, Loki’s blue-glowing sceptre housed a yellow infinity stone, which turned out to be the mind stone. Later on, in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, we saw Vision carrying the yellow stone on his forehead. According to what we have read in the comics, this stone allows the user to greatly strengthen and enhance mental and psionic power. It can also access all minds in existence simultaneously.

We have enough reasons to believe that Jose Mourinho has been using this powerful stone for the past few years. The Portuguese mastermind is considered one of the greatest managers of the game and has won every major trophy in his illustrious career. He is highly regarded for his tactical prowess and ability to adapt to different situations.

While Mourinho has been accused of playing defensive football to grind out results, he has always stressed the importance of winning games – no matter how you do it. He always seems to know what the opposition manager is thinking, and this gives him a certain advantage over the others. He is also always well informed about the opposition – as if he has access to their minds.

Outwitting rivals tactically comes as second nature to Mourinho. However, over the last one and a half seasons, it seems as if he has lost his mojo. Maybe he just needs to polish the stone a little bit, eh?
