Real Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho: Clasico Defeat To Barcelona Must Not Be Forgotten
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has claimed he will not allow players to forget Barcelona loss in November.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho insists that his side’s damaging 5-0 loss at the hands of Barcelona earlier in the season will not be forgotten, because his players must learn the lesson of that defeat.
Los Blancos suffered the joint-heaviest losing margin in Clasico history in November, but speaking to the media yesterday, the Portuguese stressed that the result must never be forgotten in order to improve for their further clashes later this season.
He stated to Sky Italia: “In that game we did not see the ball. We lost 5-0 and if the game had last 10 minutes more, it would have been six or seven. It is a game to forget, but one we must always remember, a bit like the first (sic) match Inter played against them last season.
“We lost 2-0 in the group stages, and it could have been 4-0. We do not forget, as that game was the basis for preparing the semi-final against them, and I will do exactly the same with Real Madrid when they return to play against Barcelona.”
Mourinho also stated his intention to return to Italian football later in his career, and also how he enjoyed working alongside Nerazzurri president Massimo Moratti.
He added: “He [Moratti] is fantastic. From the first day he was very open, he is a fantastic person, exceptional, friendly, open and available. He is a fan with a desire to win but at the same time honest and clean.
“He has everything a coach would want, he is a great friend, and I think that someday I will return to Italian football.”
