José Mourinho in his last interview as coach of Real Madrid with Punto Pelota Jose Mourinho: “Cristiano has had three fantastic seasons with me, but he thinks he knows everything” Jose Mourinho: “Perhaps Cristiano thinks he knows it all and the coach can’t help him to improve, whenever he gets advice, he doesn’t take it well. He has been carrying a back injury for the past few weeks; and I am never in any doubt whenever one of my players has an injury. He put in three fantastic seasons with me – I don’t know whether they have been the best years of his career or not but we worked out a fantastic tactical system for him, one which allows him to maximize his full potential and express himself through scoring goals”. Jose Mourinho about Pepe: “He has been on the verge of leaving Madrid a few times but I always coaxed him back. I fought so that he could be given an adequate contract. A youngster who is 13 years younger than him has started to break through but that young player, in my opinion, deserved to play and assumed his responsibilities well. Pepe is a fantastic player and I have happy that now he has support and tranquillity”. Jose Mourinho about Character: “I am a reasonable coach. With someone like me, you don’t need to prove yourself. I meanwhile don’t have to thank anyone, we are paid to play, to coach and we try to have a compatible social life... The club that hires me, pays me, they keep their side of the bargain and I have to give everything I’ve got, and put myself to one side”. Jose Mourinho about Players: “The best thing for the players was for me to go but I have no regrets, it’s not worth it”. Jose Mourinho about Overall feelings: “Without any doubt I feel very proud to have been a part of Real Madrid. I came to Madrid at the pinnacle of my career. I thought that my career wouldn’t mean much without having the chance to coach that ‘monster’”. Jose Mourinho about Karanka: “I have to say thanks to Aitor because the others (Rui Faria, Silvino Louro and José Morais) are my people. He defended the coaching staff and Real Madrid. I wanted him to continue with us but I understand and accept his decision. Madrid is his club. He has a lot to give and he has what it takes to start a career as a coach. Karanka is our Spanish brother”. Jose Mourinho about 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”.
