José Mourinho: Vinicius is bullied by opponents and the crowd
José Mourinho spoke at the press conference after Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid.
"We deserved to win and Espanyol did not deserve to lose" — that is how he began the press conference.
Systems
"Systems? I speak more in terms of the team. They didn’t have players at the World Cup and you can see how they work as a team, they have been together for a long time. When it comes to pressing the way I like to press, we are still lacking a few miles." And he adds: "A frustrated bench does not help at all, today ours did help us".
The Vinicius issue
"Vini is not a saint, but what they do is too much. Everything already has a pattern: now I hit him, then you hit him, then me again. One gets booked, then you hit him, and then another one comes on without a yellow and . We are in a social era of 'anti-bullying', but with Vini we are still in bullying, whether from opponents or from the crowd. We have to prepare him as much as possible."
Jude Bellingham
"I had doubts about starting him, but he is very strong physically and mentally."
