Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has lifted the lid on the tactical masterclass delivered by Jose Mourinho at half-time during their 4-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad. The Uruguayan credits the manager's intervention for transforming a stuttering performance into a dominant display spearheaded by a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick.
Federico Valverde has opened up on the immediate impact Jose Mourinho has made since returning to the Real Madrid dugout, insisting the squad benefits from his 'ruthless' coaching style. The Uruguayan midfielder, now serving as club captain, believes the Portuguese tactician's demanding nature is exactly what the dressing room requires to achieve success in the upcoming campaign.
Aurelien Tchouameni has strongly dismissed sensationalist media reports regarding a training ground incident with Real Madrid team-mate Federico Valverde. The French midfielder insisted that the confrontation has been completely blown out of proportion, as he maintains a firm focus on achieving future success in Spain.
