Recruited by Real Madrid in exchange for €140 million, Yan Diomandé stood out by signing a very strong media release on José Mourinho. The 19-year-old Ivorian winger indicated he was ready “to die” for his new coach. Asked about this outing on the eve of the first La Liga match of the season against Espanyol, Mourinho responded to his player.
“It’s an expression, we’re not going to follow it to the letter. It’s an expression that I like, but above all I would like to show that I am available for José, for the group. In reality, often words are easy, but then you have to take action. His words are no different from what I see in everyone else. Everyone is very committed, with the desire to do things well, it’s a close-knit group… We are not a perfect group, because that doesn’t exist. Problems will arise, but fundamentally the group is solid. and Diomandé’s message applies to everyone”he confided at a press conference.
