ANALYSIS-Soccer-Mourinho's humility key to Inter success

* Mourinho's change of tactics crucial to title run

* Forgiving Adriano and Balotelli shows new side to coach

MILAN, May 16 (Reuters) - Jose Mourinho's uncharacteristic willingness to acknowledge he was wrong was as important to Inter Milan's title success as the goals of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The brash coach, the self-styled 'Special One', belied his image on several pivotal occasions during Inter's romp to a fourth straight scudetto in his first season in charge.

This humility, which has sat comfortably alongside his trademark confidence, will be a useful new asset to the Portuguese as he plots European success in the coming years.

One of his most important acts was to see early on that his desire to recreate the three-pronged attack which brought him two Premier League trophies at Chelsea was not going to work at Inter.

He had bought wingers Mancini and Ricardo Quaresma for a lot of money in his first months as coach but their early performances either side of main striker Ibrahimovic were poor.
