I Am Scouted by Real Madrid

Chapter 519: Chapter 15: The Madman

Mourinho’s first Champions League group match as the coach of Real Madrid has ended.

Although Real Madrid secured the expected 3 points, some fans still criticized the team’s performance. Especially when CCTV Commentator He saw Cristiano Ronaldo’s mistake, he jokingly said with a laugh: ”Even I could have scored that goal...”

Co-commentator Xu couldn’t help but laugh as well. Indeed, with such an easy shooting opportunity, many fans who have played football might have had a similar thought: If it were me, I could have scored too...

Commentator He’s usual commentary in La Liga is highly recognized by fans. During the South Africa World Cup, he was praised by many netizens as the ”Passion King” (for example, his commentary in the dramatic final moments of the Ghana-Uruguay match) and ”Knowledge King”. His ”empathy” in this commentary was bold and refreshing.

Recently in the sports world, some interesting and unusual commentary remarks have caught people’s attention. For example, Commentator Liu’s ”It’s in, it’s in...” during the World Cup and Commentator Zhang’s series of witty remarks during the FIBA World Championship (”Here it comes, here it comes!” ”Play him!”) have provided fans with plenty of topics for discussion beyond the games.

In this match, Real Madrid created a lot of shooting opportunities, but their ability to capitalize on them was slightly lacking.

This also made Mourinho appear somewhat passive in public opinion.

But all this disappeared after seven rounds of the league.

La Liga Round 6

Real Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruña 6-1 at home.

Under Mourinho’s guidance, Real Madrid achieved a six-match winning streak in all competitions starting from the second match, with five consecutive wins in the league.

Now, in the league, Real Madrid is at the top with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 16 points, while Barcelona, in second place, has 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, and 13 points. After seven rounds, the two teams have already opened up a 3-point gap.

And soon, Real Madrid will face a highlight match in the seventh round of La Liga.

Malaga will host Real Madrid, and after this match, Real Madrid will welcome their second Champions League group stage match at home, facing Milan.

Malaga’s head coach is former Real Madrid manager Pellegrini, who was dismissed after securing two championships with the team.

At the time, many Real Madrid fans did not understand this decision, given that Pellegrini had helped the team win the King’s Cup and the league championship, and had led Real Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

This encounter between the two also attracted a lot of attention.

Just when people were expecting Pellegrini to say something, the enigmatic Mourinho fired the first shots instead.

In a special interview with GolTV before the match against Malaga, Real Madrid coach Mourinho began by discussing his principles for building and leading a team.

”Real Madrid is a great club.”

”No one can be unaware of their Galaxy Battleship, which consists of 11 top players.”

”But I believe a team cannot have all 11 players be top players; we need some people to make sacrifices for the team.”

”Additionally, I am friends with Lord Ferguson, and I admire Guardiola’s performance at Barcelona, so I hope the media will stop discussing this.”

”Yes, that’s right.”

”In my team, no one is an undisputed starter; they must prove themselves with their actions.”

”Chen?”

”He has always worked hard, so I have no reason not to start him.”

The atmosphere was still harmonious at this point, but when a reporter asked, ”How do you feel about being invited to coach a team like Real Madrid?”

”Pellegrini delivered an outstanding performance last season, helping the team win the King’s Cup and the league championship.”

”Yet he was still replaced by you.”

Mourinho glanced at the reporter, raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, ”Real Madrid cannot hire a coach without qualifications.”

”I admit his performance was not bad, but last season I led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown.”

”I hope you note.”

”Now, Real Madrid’s coach holds 2 Champions League trophies and 6 league trophies, all from different countries. If we add various cup championships, his total number of trophies will reach 17.”

At this point, Mourinho paused briefly before continuing, ”I feel sorry for what he went through last season and for his dismissal.”

”But, is the camera on me? Great, but even a meritorious coach like me faced some people’s doubts.”

”So I think if a coach with no honors came to coach here, wouldn’t it be normal for him to face criticism?”

”The reason I am able to coach Real Madrid is very simple.”

”I am better and can lead the team to success.”

Recently, Real Madrid’s performances clearly gave Mourinho the confidence to speak this boldly.

”Football players are a very special breed of animal.”

”This term may seem inappropriate, but it’s actually a nickname.”

”Because many people know, I’m actually very good to players.”

”And players, in fact, crave championships. Especially a team like Real Madrid, they certainly hope to have a coach with successful experience to lead the team.”
