Motion seems to take great players and bring the worst out of them from Dele Alli, Mario Balotelli, Pogba,Vinicius Jnr who are the top 10 players that Morino has taken from the heights of greatness and makes to ruin their careers

Quick note before we get into the list: the question says "Morino" but means José Mourinho, and also names Vinicius Jr. as one of the victims. That one needs a correction upfront: Vinicius Jr. has never played under Mourinho. He came through Real Madrid's academy and developed under managers like Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti. He is one of the best players in the world right now, so he does not belong on this list at all. The rest, though? Very much on point.

Here are the 10 players Mourinho genuinely took from their peak and left worse for the experience.

1. Dele Alli

Successive PFA Young Player of the Year awards served to highlight a player with the world at his feet. The departure of Mauricio Pochettino from Spurs in November 2019 was ultimately the beginning of the end for Dele, and Mourinho succeeded him, warning the midfielder that an unprofessional attitude could negatively impact his career. The playmaker was left out of the squad altogether on several occasions and Mourinho told him he was "lazy" in the Amazon All or Nothing documentary. He never recovered, drifting through Everton and loan spells before effectively disappearing from top-level football.

2. Paul Pogba

Mourinho publicly called Paul Pogba a "virus" at Manchester United. His no-nonsense style and huge expectations were seen as an attempt to reign in Pogba's eccentricities, with the player often frozen out and cast out to dry in front of the media and fans when results went against them. A World Cup winner reduced to a subplot in a manager's ego war.

3. Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah caught the eye of Mourinho after beating Chelsea almost single-handedly while playing for Basel. He was not given the chance to develop into the world-class talent he eventually became at Chelsea, and was sold. He went on to become arguably the best player in Premier League history at Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp.

4. Kevin De Bruyne

Same story, same club. Kevin De Bruyne was not given the chance to develop into the world-class talent he eventually became under Mourinho at Chelsea. He left for Wolfsburg, rebuilt, and became one of the finest midfielders of his generation at Manchester City.

5. Juan Mata

Juan Mata may be one of the most glaring examples. The Spaniard won Chelsea's Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013, playing a pivotal role for the Blues. Mourinho condemned Mata to the bench for a long time, an action Chelsea fans considered "unfair." At his exit from Stamford Bridge, Mourinho apologized that he did not make Mata "a better player."

6. Kaká

The decorated Brazilian midfielder was considered a success at Real Madrid before things changed drastically when Mourinho took over in 2010. The manager actively contributed to the player's decline by forcing him into a role that did not suit his natural abilities. Kaká never reached those heights again.

7. Luke Shaw

Mourinho's harsh post-match comments about Luke Shaw's fitness and "football brain" saw him ostracized from the team at Manchester United. Shaw later flourished under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, which only underlined how much of the problem was the manager, not the player.

8. John Obi Mikel

The Nigerian midfielder joined Chelsea in 2006, months after being adjudged the second most valuable player at the Under-20 World Cup. He felt "deprived" when he did not have the opportunity to express himself at Chelsea under Mourinho. A box-to-box talent was turned into a sitting cone for years.

9. Daniel Sturridge

Daniel Sturridge felt "deprived" when he did not have the opportunity to express himself at Chelsea under Mourinho. He left, joined Liverpool, and briefly became one of the most lethal strikers in Europe before injuries caught up with him.

10. Nuri Sahin

Nuri Sahin was a strange signing by Mourinho during his time at Real Madrid. He had all the talent to succeed, but Mourinho never bothered to give him the time to adapt. He played just a handful of minutes in one of the best squads in the world and was quietly shipped out.

The Pattern

The thread running through every name on this list is the same: Mourinho's ego and his need for control over narrative became more important than the player's development. Perhaps more impressive than his ability to pick up silverware is his uncanny way of doing so while seemingly falling out with every player he manages. He wins trophies, then burns the house down on his way out. The players who thrived under him were either physically dominant types who fit his defensive structure, or veterans secure enough in themselves not to need his approval. Anyone creative, independent-minded or still developing got crushed.
