The former Dutch footballer is of the opinion that the Real Madrid fans are only concerned about the lead Barcelona have, and not what Mourinho is bringing to their team.
Real Madrid have not been at their usual best this season, even though they are the current Spanish champions.
Last season Jose Mourinho was able to guide his side towards a Spanish crown, but this season it has been difficult for him to carry on what he managed to do before.
Right at the start of the Spanish La Liga campaign, Mourinho dropped a lot of points in the league and as a result, Los Blancos are now eleven points behind their arch-rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Moreover, what is worse for the Portuguese mentor is the fact that the other Madrid rival-club, Atletico Madrid, is also above them in the league and even a win against them in the Spanish La Liga has not guaranteed anything as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone’s men are still
toe-to-toe with the Spanish champions.
Johan Cruyff believes that even though there are many Real Madrid fans who back Jose Mourinho, there are a few who dislike him because Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both above Real Madrid.
Cruyff thinks that it is quite normal in the footballing world that when a rival club is above in terms of position and points, the fans complain and that is one of the basic reasons why Jose Mourinho is being booed by the Real Madrid fans.
“Normally, if your rival is 11 points clear, many people will not be happy and complain. Some Madrid fans are in favour [of Mourinho], some are against. But their biggest problem is the fate of Barcelona.”
Real Madrid played against Atletico Madrid over the weekend and the Spanish giants were able to do what they were waiting for.
The Spanish champions won the match 2-0, thanks to an extraordinary performance by the Portuguese skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, who was able to score one and further assisted one for Mesut Ozil to double the score-line.
Real Madrid are now five points behind Atletico Madrid and the gap between them and Barcelona is the same as La Blaugrana won their respective match against Athletic Bilbao.
