Jose Mourinho has highlighted a scheduling disparity between Real Madrid and Barcelona ahead of Sunday’s El Clasico. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that Wednesday’s fixture against RB Leipzig gives his side significantly less recovery time than their Catalan rivals, Mourinho stated that it is unfair for Barcelona to enjoy an extra 24 hours of recovery before their top-of-the-table clash this weekend.
Jose added that his team is still a work in progress despite recent improvements in their attacking play.
His words, “For the Clasico, there’s no room for complacency. It’s just another league match, yet it’s unlike any other. We’re pushing ahead. At the moment, we’re missing out on 24 hours of rest, but we’re moving forward.
No, nothing is where I want it to be. I always want to improve. I’ve been here for over a hundred days. Obviously, we are not where I want, but there are things we are doing better today than before… We are improving.
The goal we conceded against Leipzig I didn’t like because I put myself in the goalkeeper’s position. Courtois made two incredible saves that kept the game open for us to win. Just as a striker loves scoring goals, a goalkeeper loves going home with a clean sheet.
The goal we conceded today and the one against Sevilla came from being overconfident and from someone thinking the game was already won. I don’t like that.”
Jose Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.
Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.
His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
