Mou's Latest Interview
http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/05_Mayo_Actualidad_11-12/1330101755600/noticia/Noticia/Mourinho:__Winning_is_more_important_at_Real_Madrid_than_coaching_or_playing_.htm
I know we've probably all seen this in various media, but I think this interview is very important in our plans for next season and Mou's situation in general. Very refreshing given the secrecy from the club we have seen in the Mou years. If we analyse it (and believe it, but it seems frank enough) I think we can glean some points.
Perez had a lot of work to do to bring Mou here, and sold the idea to him completely based on what it would do for HIS (Mou's) reputation. Obviously Mou is not a true Madridista or anything close, but Perez is clearly ready to sink pretty low to get what he wants
He wants to stay. And from the looks of it, for a long while (at least till the end of his contract). The rumours of arguments with the players are based on truth, but their relationship is strong I feel.
Some nice snippets on his relationship with Barca and Pep.
Interesting statements about Higuain, Adan and Sahin. Clearly he is trying to make Higuain stay and has promised him more time, like all of us he wants Adan to stay but it isnt happening.
All good stuff. Now, the big problem- Our style of football. He doesn't see anything wrong with it, he likes it how it is and thinks it is appeasing enough. He doesnt care for the attack-based philosophy. This could be just propaganda to save face while he tries to improve our style, but I doubt it.
Thoughts, anyone?
"My objective is to try to win more league titles with Real Madrid. I'm delighted to stay on. I needed to coach this team in order for my career to be complete, but winning with Real Madrid is more important than coaching or winning with the team."
"My objective was to win La Liga and now I want to try to win more championships with this side. I have two years left on my contract and my family and I are happy with a stability we never had before due to moving every two or three years. We're delighted to remain here."
"President Florentino Perez managed to achieve the difficult task of getting me excited about his project. He told me Real Madrid needed me and that I needed Real Madrid to round up my career after winning the Champions League with Inter Milan. I am grateful to the President for convincing me to take that step and for his support. Coaching Real Madrid has been, and will continue to be, the toughest job in my career."
"My life's objective isn't to defeat Barcelona, but it was very important to win the league title in order to break their run of late. It was necessary for Real Madrid, in their condition of the most important club in history, to prevent their national dominance from increasing."
"It is very difficult to talk about cycles, but I do think it's clear that Real Madrid are better than they were two years ago. And nothing will be the same again. We haven't won the Champions League, but this team didn't even reach the quarterfinals a few years back, while we've managed to play the semifinals two straight years, losing one of them in the penalty shootout. Real Madrid cannot win all the time, but they should always come close."
"Tell critics to look at my results. The richness of my career comes from coaching in different countries. You cannot win in Spain if you play like you did in Italy."
"I've managed to transform the mentality of my players, who used to think playing flashy football was enough. It isn't enough with me. Talent is essential, but emotion, ambition and feeling are as important. We have a very good staff comprising Rui Faria, Silvino, Morais and Karanka. Most of my players are now better than they were before they started working with me."
"I love Real Madrid's beautiful game. I like straightforward, dynamic, fast and intense football with fast transitions. I love the football Real Madrid have played this year. They have been similar to the Porto side with which I won the Champions League and the UEFA Cup."
"I am both Mourinho's with my players. Leading is difficult. You have to stimulate your men and show both sides with them. Casillas once said to me, 'There were times this season in which you put a lot of pressure on us and were rough on the the group.' I laughed, but I knew what I was doing and what I wanted to provoke. I also showed a gentler side, like when we lost against Bayern Munchen. 'Relax,' I said to them then, 'You've already won the league title.' You have to bring the best out of everyone. A coach who doesn't like to act this way with his players won't last too long on the team."
"I have very good memories of my time with Guardiola. I met him when he was a player and I an assistant coach. I've never wanted to seem perfect and I've never hidden my defects. I haven't done this outside of football either. Nobody is perfect and I'm not going to change at 49. I've always been indepenedent and I've never worried about personal attacks. They do hurt when my children read them, but I simply tell them nothing's the matter."
"You have to handle special responsibility to be a player or a coach at Real Madrid, but it helps you grow. The first time Florentino Perez spoke to me he said: 'If you want to be one of the best coaches in history you have to come to Real Madrid.' I agree. My credo is that people who work in football have to love the sport and Real Madrid or whichever club they're at. It is very difficult to achieve objectives without creating an ambitious atmosphere. Everyone here helped win the title. I told the President and Director General Jose Angel Sanchez months ago that I would stay on and that I had nothing to do with any club that wanted me."
"Higuain will stay on. He has a good contract for many years. The club may receive a 40, 50 or 60 million euro offer, but they won't sell. My two centre forwards next season will be Higuain and Benzema. That's all there is to it."
"Real Madrid are in the goalkeeper market because Adan doesn't want to continue on the team. I have to convince him, to stay. I've even asked Iker for help! There are no problems between Casillas and myself. The whole situation of having to look for a replacement for Adan became a story of wanting to get rid of Casillas in the press."
"Pepe had a great season and people should acknowledge that. Many in the situation he's been in and with everyhting he's withstood would have left for Italy or England. When we talked about his contract extension he always wanted to stay."
"Benzema is very good and he is responsible for his transformation. He managed to overcome the small fears and insecurities he had in his first two seasons on the team and had a great campaign."
"Sahin will also stay. He never had a full preseason with us, but he will now."
I know we've probably all seen this in various media, but I think this interview is very important in our plans for next season and Mou's situation in general. Very refreshing given the secrecy from the club we have seen in the Mou years. If we analyse it (and believe it, but it seems frank enough) I think we can glean some points.

If we win the CL next season then his objective will pretty much be complete. After that he'll probably leave and hopefully then we get a coach who focuses on our style of play.

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
What's this crap about improving our style!!!!! I like the way Madrid play, focusing on dominating the final third rather than pointless possession in areas where you can't hurt your opposition.
It's extremely entertaining and Mourinho is on point, he's brought an identity to the team and it's only going to get better in the third season, when the young players (Ozil, Di Maria, Benz, Higuain, Marcelo, Sahin) start to hit their peak, and new players are signed to fill specific holes in the team.

good point, possession just aimed towards increase our numbers on a stat sheet is pointless. Getting more efficient using the ball in the final third using movements and ball circulation is what we need to be after.

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
Scoring goals isnt the problem... we are breaking every record there is.
We just have to improve the midfield, team cohesion, keep posession more effectively... cant counter against every big team we play.

That comes with replacing players.. I would personally stop playing Xabi and Khedira.. That's just me though

what about modric or axel witsel
is it me or doesnt anyone else think that modric would be perfect. he has vision and is skillful on the ball.
axel witsel is a great buy also, almost a younger inexperienced modric.
at least i think
and what about mario fernandes, though he was all but signed

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
Real Madrid needs a Khedira in the first eleven, he provides a defensive solidity on which an attack can be built, his ability to break play as useful as Alonso's ability to create.
Very underrated on this forum, but to me he's the closest Real Madrid has come to replacing Makelele, while in Madrid very few people valued Makelele's contributions, but the effects of his absence were clear to see after he left the club. Playing Sahin and Alonso in a two man midfield is bound to fail.

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
Makalele is nothing like Khedira Lol.
I agree that he's underrated and important, but I have Javi there for a reason, he can be listed as a CB but in reality he can be wherever he's needed.
How often will we meet teams with 2 strikers lol?
Javi is destined to spend more time than not further up the pitch.

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
How different is Makele from Khedira? To the best of my knowledge they both perform the same role, breaking play and laying simple passes for their "more skilled" teammates to initiate the attack.
Javi Martinez is still unproven in midfield, and has barely played that role this season, I doubt he'll offer anything Khedira can't offer, people forget that Khedira was one of Stuttgart's most important players before he came to Madrid, and he's a guaranteed starter in the German NT!

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
Khedira roams more than Makalele does....
Look we play a different system than the one Makalele played in, I don't expect Khedira to be Makalele becuse Xabi occupies the poisition Makalele would occupy alot of the time.
Labelling him as similar to Makalele is wrong though.
He dosen't track strikers so that our centre backs don't have to follow them out into midfield etc etc...he's a completely different player.

Re: Mou's Latest Interview
Khedira is not even a natural DM like Makelele was, i cant even see how they are comparable. As a DM, Momo Diarra was far superior to Khedira for example.
Maybe you liken him to Make because he plays simple sure, but the difference is that Khedira plays simple because he cant do anything else, while playing simple and efficient was fundamental to Makelele's role.
