Mourinho Wants Another Vinicius Out of the Bernabéu José Mourinho addressed the media ahead of Real Madrid’s match against Real Sociedad, marking his return to the Bernabéu as the club’s head coach. The press conference, held before the game, provided insight into his tactical plans, player dynamics, and frustrations with refereeing decisions. Mourinho emphasized the importance of the upcoming match, which would be his first home game since taking charge, and highlighted the challenges posed by Real Sociedad’s strong squad. The match against Real Sociedad, scheduled for Wednesday, was described by Mourinho as a critical opportunity to secure three points. He acknowledged the difficulty of the task, noting that Real Sociedad is a team that “deserves to be respected” and that their supporters would likely show strong support. Mourinho called for his players to demonstrate “hunger to win, attitude, resilience, strength, and calm,” hoping the fans would recognize these qualities. He also expressed concern about the intensity of the opposition, citing Espanyol’s recent performance as a benchmark for the level of competition they would face. Mourinho’s comments extended to the fitness levels of his squad, particularly highlighting the need for players to reach peak condition. He mentioned that Espanyol had shown a high level of intensity in their recent matches, which Real Madrid had not yet matched. The coach emphasized the importance of playing time for players like Cucurella, using objective data and scientific analysis to guide training. He also stressed the role of experience in managing fitness, stating that “the players have to play” to achieve optimal performance. The return to the Bernabéu was a significant moment for Mourinho, who expressed a desire to focus on the team rather than personal recognition.#real_madrid #real_sociedad #bernabu #jose_mourinho #vinicius
Team's Growth and Key Moments Highlighted After Victory Over Atlético Dean Huijsen, the defender, praised the team's progress following their victory against Atlético at the Bernabéu. He emphasized the importance of the win in their LaLiga campaign, stating, "This was a crucial match for us. We knew if we wanted to compete in LaLiga, we had to win, and that’s exactly what we did. Personally, I’m very happy. As a team, we’re growing significantly and are in a strong run. We’ll keep working hard and maintain this momentum." Huijsen addressed the red card shown to Valverde, clarifying, "To me, it didn’t look like a red card. I think he interrupted an action and should have received a yellow card instead. He didn’t hit the player or use excessive force. It wasn’t an aggression—it was just stopping an action, similar to a tug, which is a yellow card." The player also reflected on the team’s recent adjustments, noting, "We’ve had many changes: a new coach, new players, and a different system. It’s normal to go through an adaptation phase, and the progress we’re making is positive. We’re all working every day to make it work, and it’s great to see it functioning well." Huijsen acknowledged the challenges of transitioning, adding, "Every team needs time to adapt, and that’s exactly what we’re experiencing." The defender highlighted Vini Jr.’s standout performance, saying, "He had an excellent game. He scored two goals—one from a penalty and one with a stunning strike. He’s been motivated in every match and works hard. I’m thrilled for him and for us, as we secured the win." The match showcased the team’s resilience and tactical evolution, with key moments like Valverde’s controversial dismissal and Vini Jr.’s clinical finishing underscoring their progress.#team #valverde #bernabu #atltico #vini_jr
