Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho spoke ahead of the long-awaited confrontation against Barcelona, saying he is not concerned about the fact that the double rivals are seen as favorites for El Clascicon. Portuguese has stressed that his team is still in construction and that compared with Barcelona, which has worked together for a longer period, is not fair.
Real Madrid will face Barcelona on Sunday, at 9:00 p.m., at a match where the attention is focused on coach Madrill’s statements before the duel.
Mourinho has said that expectations for a deep Barcelona victory do not concern him, acknowledging that the Catalonians have shown reason to be praised.
People who thought a week ago that Barca could destroy us now feel the same way. I don’t think that’s gonna change. The fact that people speak well of barca doesn’t bother me, Mourinho has declared.
He has added that Barcelona has developed presentations that deserve praise, but has stressed that Real Madrid has not yet had enough time to reach the required level.
Frankly, there are matches where they certainly deserve to be praised for doing some really good things, the Portuguese coach said.
Furthermore, Mourinho has rejected the perception that Real Madrid is an already complete team, explaining that the team is still in an early phase of the construction process.
In our case, we are seen as a finished product. The finished products in football are hard to find. If we’re talking about us at an advanced stage of the process, we’ve been working for three months. If we take off the pre-sezonal matches, international holiday… we’ve been working for a month and a half, he has declared.
According to Moourinho, the team is still adapting to its ideas, while the coach himself is working to better recognise the players and build the right strategies.
Far from being a finished product, we’re an initial product where we’re in a preliminary phase where the coach knows us, is analyzing us and developing strategies… The players are also recognizing me, Morainho said.
In the end, he has stressed that he does not consider the comparison between his Real Madrid and a team that has had more time to play and work together.
I don’t think the removal of a team like this has been together for more years. I don’t think it’s fair.
