What I’ll always find ridiculous is that we’ve got to worry about how players feel, how to motivate them despite all the money they earn. In every other job you a) earn crumbs, b) are expected to be self motivated, c) if you act up you either get disciplined or fired. I would like to see them work 12 hour shifts in a factory for a month to pop that ego bubble
You guys keep saying Mourinho is washed, but your hateful, numb brains have never pointed out how washed Ancelotti was at Everton, where he was in a relegation battle before Real Madrid brought him back.
Hypocrites.
It could go really well until the 3rd season or the chaos makes it worse. But if there's one manager who can show these Madrid players discipline, it's Jose.
These people are so stupid.
I have a filling that Mou will win the triplette with madrid in his second year
Mourinho never called himself THE special one, that nickname is based on a misunderstanding, he said he was A special one, in latin languages that means hotshot he thinks he is different, peculiar, the british press made a mess of that
Mourinho is the perfect man to reunite the squad and restore Real Madrid’s pride once again.
Mourinho is going to get savage
I've been a Madrid fan since 1988. Mourinho hasn't won anything in recent years. He is yesterday's coach.
Scaloni
Klopp
Gardiola
Are all better option for Madrid to win trophies.
Everyone is taking about discipline but not mentioning winning trophies
You guys analyzed everything pretty good and fair. Many other commentators like to throw mud at us. Bravo to you.
Welcome back our beloved Mourinho and HALA MADRID !!!
3 clowns who shouldn’t really be speaking about football
Pep Guardiola won 14 trophies in Spain with FC Barcelona, while José Mourinho won 3 with Real Madrid CF, and Guardiola led their Spain head-to-head 5 wins to 2, with 4 draws.
Better analysts should be brought
Mourinho is too crazy dramatic and his style of football is uninspiringly defensive and outdated. He can be destructive personality, and lacks the constructive communication skills as a respectful leader!. Zidane would have be a much better alternative for them.
Real Madrid do better and are much successful when their coaches are charismatic and use common sense, and employed an attractive attacking style of football like the methods of Carlo Ancelotti and Zidane, instead of the hard and tough defensive methods of José Mourinho. But After a trophyless domestic campaign and a embarrassing Champions League quarter-final elimination, the club higher board choice to replacing Álvaro Arbeloa to Mourinho.
The passion for the club's traditional, attacking fotball style identity makes sense and given the successes under Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane to bring a similar experience coaches. However, the Real Madrid board has opted for a hard-nosed approach to restore the club's domestic dominance and competitive mentality, structure and disciplines To address internal dressing room tensions and recent trophyless seasons.
Anyway, Real are my team.
I support them. I wish them good luck and victories in the Champions League next season.
Mourinho still holds the record amount of goals for a season in La Liga, and you have an American talking about “will his tactics work. For me Bellingham would thrive under Mourinho, Mourinho loves midfielders like him who want to be the best and don’t shy away from the moment. If Vini goes in the summer I feel like Mbappe gets moved to the left wing and they get a proper number 9 and if that happens good luck to other teams trying to stop them because mbappe isn’t a striker he’s best on the wings in the wide areas. If they can get the mbappe into balon dor levels then again it’s rip to other teams, but again this is if buts and maybes but in terms of someone who lays down the law Mourinho is the right man. They all know what he’s done he’s a legend in the game and sure some people will not like it but he doesn’t care it’s that simple he does not care
You usual clowns
Mbappe who pays you well should be out
Mbappe out
I am a huge and an avid Madridistas and I am very heartbroken and a very devastated fan.
Why?
Because our brainless and very dangerous president, Florentino Perez, along with our horrible poor management have completely destroyed and obliterated our great Real Madrid team.
This team is now unrecognizable as the above imbeciles have weakened and ruined our beloved and dear great team.
These morons have made many huge mistakes the last 2 years and this is the major reason why Real Madrid has not won any new silverware the last 2 seasons.
In my eyes this poor losing team is now completely dead and bringing Jose Mourinho is not going to help Real Madrid at all, in fact their problems are going to increase and multiply a lot because Jose is just the wrong coach to come now and try to help this weak and crumbled team to rise. Jose is going to make Real Madrid a lot worse now as he has a poisonous touch who has absolutely no idea in how to improve this now weak and fallen down team. I am sure Jose is going to destroy this team and alienate many players. He is no longer the good coach he used to be many years ago.
Bye bye Real Madrid…..it was such a pleasure to know you and enjoy your many victories and championships till all of the above imbeciles killed you for good.
Most fans who witnessed Jose the first time wants Jose in due to the current situation. Even if it means to destabilized the dressing room so that Perez, Jose or the next manager would have it easier for a better RM. Perez only choosing Jose to save his job. Not so much about the fans. It's for self gain.
Ted Lasso comparing Benfica to Real Madrid!???😂
Its a good risk for the team since they have Mbappe to blame if they loose.
Jose morinho is the best coach for now to take real Madrid to glory and he will succeed. He's the exact coach for real Madrid 😂😂
The not any more very special one.
Stupid media.. u people want Jose and Madrid to fail! Shame on u all!!!
I am sure, the problem will not be Vini. The problem will be Mbappe. Mbappe will not accept to play the wing, and Mourinho will never accept to play a Nr 9 who can not score header goals. Mourihno is going to recruit a Nr 9 like, Osimhein, Sørloth. Mbappe is not a technical player who can play the wings as does Vini. Vini will combine better with nr 9 than Mbappe can do.
PURE DRAMA COMEDY ACTION NEXT SEASON WILL BE GOOD FOR ENTERTAINMENT FLICK VS MORINO
It’ll either be genius from Perez or the final nail in Madrid’s coffin. Mourinho will get way more respect than the last 2 managers combined but if the players don’t buy into his style or methods, things could turn toxic fast. Too many egos there for it not to potentially blow up. Let’s see how it goes I just hope it brings drama regardless 🙏
All anti-real Madrid are fuming that we are having Jose Mourinho as our coach. Guys move on if you don't want to watch us win next season.
It's funny how pundits talk of getting Vinny out of the way when he was doing okay and the person who just came in is the problem
If Mourinho comes then surely his goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos comes
RIP Real
They needed pep or klop I think they gonna fight against mourinho
Plus we have the players for counter attacking football
The special one will rise up Madrid again
How does no one ever mention Vini has 1 year left on his deal? This is gonna push him out.
Unlike ESPN FC no one on the panel sought to put down players.
Madrid won’t win anything with Mbappe and Vini on the same team. One has to leave or preferably both leave and Madrid build a team that plays for the team!
The washed one
That guy with gray shirt is stupid he doesn’t know anything about football
Mou has won a trophy at almost every club he’s been. When he was at Madrid, Madrid destroyed teams on counters. Guess what you need for counters? The players Madrid has right now
As a madridista I am happy with this. To crush egos, u need a bigger ego !
We are with José. And Yes José did great the first Time in Madrid
All this talk how does it translate to football? Will they be able to make 3 passes
Are you mad?? you want vinicious sold,he a legend here
Two guys on this panel actually know what they are talking about and being grounded the other idiots comparing Mou and newbie managers are social media pundits not real footballers or football fans at least.
How is Mourinho's Madrid going to play counterattack when the opponents are just going to sit back and playing for a tie.
What defensive style mustache dummy .. he had to adapt to the tools he had in fene roma benfica .. clearly forgot what the guy can do when he has full backing of board chelsea real madrid inter
The media wants madrid , and jose to fail .
Its such a sad thing to witness.
first big move, dictator Mbappe kicks him out
Congratulations to hands flick in advance
mbappe is the triple i support selling the player. the team was very good before he join and the team was playing very well and as group now nothing. so #mbappe #out
Talking like Mourinho didn't pick Benfica from the bottom half. People talk like he started the season with them. It's hilarious
