Real Madrid Coach Mourinho Wants Players To ‘Die’ For Him In First Press Conference

  • On Saturday, Real Madrid opens its LaLiga campaign away to Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium, with head coach Jose Mourinho targeting three points in his second stint.
  • Tasked by President Florentino Perez to break Barcelona's dominance under Hansi Flick, Mourinho has returned to the Santiago Bernabeu 13 years after his first spell in Spain.
  • Addressing summer signing Yan Diomande's comment about players being willing to "die" for the club, Mourinho remarked, "without following it word for word, it is an expression that I like."
  • The Portuguese describes the current squad as a strong, united group, contrasting with last season's trophyless campaign: "The group is growing, it is united. We are not the perfect group, it does not exist."
  • Espanyol, which won its debut 3-0 against Levante, is a "good team," Mourinho noted, adding, "I wouldn't say pressure, I would say adrenaline. The day I don't feel it there is something wrong.
