Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal are similar managers, according to Daley Blind, except when it comes to winning. Former Manchester United manager Van Gaal signed Blind from Ajax in the summer of 2014 after the defender was part of his Dutch national squad at the World Cup, and Blind was regularly selected during Van Gaals tenure at Old Trafford.

Mourinhos arrival at the start of this season has not altered player-manager relationships, according to Blind, though the 26-year-old revealed how the ultimate goals of the current Untied boss differ from those of Van Gaal. I am fortunate enough to have worked with a number of big coaches. I learn a lot from Mourinho on a daily basis and he is a good guy, Blind told De Telegraaf. It is all about winning for Mourinho, according to Blind He is pretty similar to Van Gaal when it comes to their commitment to the team. They used to work together so I reckon that is no coincidence. Everybody likes it when your boss shows an interest in you. Mourinho earned himself the nickname The Special One because of everything he has achieved. He is an excellent coach who has an eye for details. He is very strong tactically. But his philosophy is slightly different to that of Van Gaal. He is very direct, it is all about winning.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson expressed regret for letting his team down this season, while making it clear that he still has an issue with some of the circumstances surrounding his 10-game suspension for a second violation of the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances.I dont put the blame on others, he said at his locker stall Tuesday following practice. Im on a lot of peoples s--- list, but Ive got a few people on my s--- list as well. That thing will get settled here in the next few months, so well see what happens.Johnson filed charges against the NFL and NFL Players Association with the National Labor Relations Board back in November. He criticized the NFLPA for not standing up for the players when word of the suspension first came down during the summer. He believes the positive test was the result of taking an amino acid he purchased online that was contaminated. Johnson said at the time that he checked the contents on the label with an app provided by the NFLPA.I think the next [collective bargaining agreement], I think theyre will be a lot of things changed, said Johnson, who believes the process related to a failed drug test should move along more quickly. You see a lot of voices, like Richard Sherman, who disapprove of how things go on. So I think a lot of things will change come 2020.Johnson is expected to start Thursday night against the New York Giants. It will be a quick turnaround for the 26-year old. He was just permitted back in the Eagles practice facility on Monday. After 10 weeks away from the team, there is little time to knock off a lot of rust. Coach Doug Pederson, though, believes he has no other choice given the injury situation along the offensive front right now.Johnson said practice on Tuessday felt natural.dddddddddddd He spent part of his suspension working out in his home state of Oklahoma, and said he tried to keep up with the team as best he could.Before the suspension became official, Johnson claimed that he would no longer take supplements. He has stayed true to that, he says, and yet has kept his weight up -- and then some.Im eating, he said. People accused me of steroid use coming out of college or whatever. Im bigger than Ive ever been -- Im 320, 320-plus, so Im fine where Im at.As a result of the suspension, the remaining guaranteed money from the five-year, $56 million contract he signed this offseason was voided. He can still earn that money, but it will be on a year-to-year basis and dependent on whether the Eagles keep him on the roster. The Eagles brass has not discussed his future with the team, per Johnson, only telling him to go play.His absence proved how valuable he is to the offensive operation. The Eagles were 3-1 with him in the lineup, and went 2-8 during the suspension. The instability along the O-line was a major factor for this seasons downturn, and Johnson knows it.I feel like I let the team down. I feel like we had momentum whenever I left, I feel like we should have been 4-0 after the Detroit game. It sucks the way it is. Its all on me. All I can do is go play. I can talk all day about it, but its really going to be showing and proving that through the rest of my contract.I still feel Im one of the best right tackles in the league if not the best right tackle there is. Having said that, I still have got a lot to prove and I want to keep proving that every game Im out there. ' ' '
