Cristiano has done three fantastic seasons, all of them with me as his coach. I don't know if these seasons have been the best of his career because his last one in Manchester was also superb, maybe he could speak about that. We found a nice tactical system to get him goals, and I only had one problem with him, a tactical problem. He didn't accept my words, maybe he knows everything and no coach can help him. But no problem. He didn't play these last two games but I trust the players' words when they say they're injured.

Something was happening around these two men. Whether it was a matter of egos (most likely) or the tactical comment was the real issue, we'll never know. But it seems quite clear that Ronaldo didn't want to play the last two matches, since he trained with Portugal these past two days.

Mourinho also had some words about Pepe:

I don't know whether he betrayed me or not, that's a fine question that you should ask him. He's been with one foot out of Real Madrid and I brought him in many times, I helped to give him a good contract to stay here and he's been out of the team with an injury. A kid that is 10, 11 or 12 years younger has started to play and this kid deserved to play, and I think Pepe has not handled this situation right. And suddenly, all the people that called him a murderer and the worst of things start to protect him. I'm glad for him, he's a fine player for Real Madrid and he deserves the support he's receiving.

Finally, he spoke about Ancelotti. Marca called him a "pacificador" or peacemaker. For Mourinho, that's not a good word to use:

If one day they call me that while I'm still coaching that would be an insult. Carlo deserves everything but to be insulted before his arrival, and I hope he gets the support he deserves. Ancelotti or whoever comes. The next coach will be able to tell you how he found the club, the files in the computer and everything, because we have not put a virus on them. They stay the same way we left them.

I'd like to see Mou's current answer on Ronaldo or Messi

I'm pretty sure CR7 wasn't the only one who refused to listen to Mourinho's tactics anyway.

The squad itself seems to think they know everything, bar some exceptions, and thus cannot grow in my opinion.

i thought his words on pepe were far more intriguing. everyone knows how stubborn ronaldo is already.

but the sarcasm on the bit where he said madrid deserve a player like pepe is just hilarious to me.

I guess that tactical thing is the tracking back? So it's Ronaldo who doesn't listen. I always thought it was Mourinho telling him not to.

Although it might be another tactical thing.

I believe Mou 100%

Jeez Jose don't hold a grudge or anything. Pretty disrespectful of him to talk about Madrid when no one has called him out since he's left lord knows people could have as well.

Having said that What he's saying about Pepe is 100% true.

So wait if Ronaldo was at odds with Jose does that make him a legend like Iker was and that Mou's comments are disrespectful and disgraceful according to Adit? Or is that only if Iker is the one who gets his feelings hurt?

All players are equal, some are more equal than others...

Did Mou bench CR7 and say "in my opinion, Callejon is the better player today"?

He could have, I'm sure that man thought about it but he saw Iker as someone who undermined him. As a manager, you do what you think is right to keep the ship steady, didn't work one bit but I'm sure he believes it was the right thing. Strangely enough, he didn't think that of Cristiano...

Mou never bullied CR7 when he was here..he bullied Iker.

The fact that Mou bullied Iker due to political reasons and didnt even react against CR7 due to footballing reasons says it all really.

btw why do you think what he says about CR7 is not right when obviously there was no other problems between them ?

btw it must sucks for Zealous when his favorite manager and favorite player are bitch fighting in the media

Cristiano Ronaldo- “I don’t care about Mourinho. I only care about Real Madrid”


Mourinho :'' Cristiano thinks he knows everything and can not grow, He didnt accept my tactics''


Seems like Iker was not the only traitor Ronaldo

I'm pretty certain Z's favourite player is Higuain and his fav manager is Martinez.

Lol.. Ladies take it easy

I don't know if this is the correct translation, but this is what Jose said according to AS.

Madrid’s next coach: “I would feel offended if others think I am being the peace-maker here but I just hope that Carlo, or whoever else comes in gets all the support they need and that they are happy. You can ask the next coach what they thought about the club. As far as Real Madrid is concerned, we haven’t pressed the delete button, nor have we sent them a virus. I hope the next coach is honest enough to explain how they encountered the dynamic of the squad”.

Z has favorites... but he's open to being convinced. He used to hate Benz and now he likes him for example. A lot less rigid than some here including myself.

The newly appointed Chelsea manager has defended the Italian coach and has made it clear that he has no regrets regarding his time at Madrid

Former Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho feels that it would be unfair on Carlo Ancelotti to describe the current Paris Saint-Germain trainer as a peacemaker, stressing that there is much more to the Italian.

Ancelotti is sitting in pole position to replace Mourinho at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Madrid determinedly trying to lure the PSG boss to the Spanish capital despite the Ligue 1 champions' reluctance to lose the Italian. If the deal goes through, the Portuguese trainer hopes that his counterpart enjoys a fruitful spell with los Blancos.

"Do Madrid need a peacemaker like Ancelotti? If they would describe me as a peacemaker rather than a coach I would feel offended... I don't think Carlo deserves to be offended before he's even started," Mourinho told Punto Pelota.

"I hope that he gets the support that he deserves. Him or any other coach who will take over. It looks like Ancelotti will come in to take the reins and I wish him all the best."

Mourinho then took the time to reflect on his time at Madrid and insisted that he does not have any regrets.

"I do not regret anything. It's not worth it. I see that I get stronger every year. I am constantly learning new things. Sometimes you get positive feedback and sometimes negative, but you always learn something. Of course, I have made mistakes, but so have other people. It's all part of the game.

"If I would have stayed, I would have started next season with some problems from this term. It's in everybody's best interest that I left. The players can have a fresh start and a new project."
