Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has expressed disappointment with the shorter recovery time his team will face Barcelona, scheduled for Sunday.
After winning 4:1 over RB Leipzig in the Champions League, the Portuguese coach stressed that Barcelona will have 24 more hours off, as the European match held the day earlier.
El Classico has no place for complacency. It’s another championship game, but at the same time it’s not like the others. At the moment we have 24 hours less rest, but we have to continue Mourino said, according to ESPN.
In addition to the calendar, Real Madrid coach is also concerned about presentation in the defense phase. Despite a deep victory over Leipzig, he acknowledged that the team is not yet at the level he wants.
I always want to get better. I’ve been here more than 100 days. Of course, we are not yet at the level I want, but there are things that we are doing better today than before. We’re improving, he said.
Mourinho also stopped at the goal taken against Leipzig, praising goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois’ expectations, but criticising mistakes that gave the opponent the opportunity to score.
I didn’t like what we had because I put myself in the gatekeeper’s position. Courtois made two extraordinary expectations that kept us in play and gave us the opportunity to win, the coach said.
He stressed that concentration should be maintained by the end of the match, despite the outcome, considering keeping the gate intact as important as the goal note.
Real Madrid aims to make the best appearance in El Classico, where defence errors can have a profound impact on the outcome of facing the fierce rival Barcelona.
