José Mourinho is rather comfortable when it comes to speaking to the press. The Portuguese perfectly negotiated the questions about the whistles at the Bernabéu against Vinicius Jr. He also spoke to defend Kylian Mbappé, who is also the target of numerous criticisms. “I’m not talking about the criticism. I use the same proverb as with Vini: “It is a tree that bears a lot of fruit. » Kylian is right. A player who scores 40 goals per season is not a problem for the team. When we manage to establish friendship, respect… imagine. There are things that, as a coach, I appreciate and admire enormously. Some people talk about football without really knowing it. Others understand this and find it easier to talk about the negative aspects. »
He continues: “They know that it is not in their interest to talk about the positive points. I saw Kylian come down to help Cucurella, under the shouts of a very authoritarian trainer. I really appreciate this kind of behavior. Yet these same people never mention that we defended well or that we could have scored eight goals. There will always be boring matches where teams don’t take risks and end 0-0. Against Inter they could have scored four goals, but we could have scored eight. Why don’t they talk about it? Aren’t they happy with our victory? The staff is very happy. We suffered and lost together against Betis. We have this feeling and this commitment to work for Real Madrid. We will do everything we can to make people happy. » KM10 and Mourinho agree.
