The former Los Blancos striker has heaped praise over the Portuguese mentor and is confident that he can lead Madrid to domestic success.
Butragueno voiced his admiration for Mourinho and expressed that the Spanish giants can benefit by the genius of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan head coach.
He emphasized that the Portuguese trainer has what it takes to bring success to the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 48-year-old is more than pleased with the way Los Blancos have performed so far this season.
He stated that the Whites have done a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and are in a comfortable position at the top of the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings.
Butragueno maintained that having Mourinho at the helm will certainly ensure that Madrid secure the Liga BBVA trophy by the end of the season.
The Spanish capital-based club have shown considerable improvement in comparison to the last few seasons and appear on the brink of breaking Barcelona’s dominance over Spanish football.
Under the management of Jose Mourinho, the Whites have forged a team that has become a destructive force, not only in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 but also in Europe.
Los Vikingos have been massively successful in the Spanish La Liga and in the UEFA Champions League. Their performance throughout the season has certainly made them heavy favourites to triumph over both competitions.
Apart from the terrific form that Real have enjoyed, the Bernabeu has also seen great players develop under Mourinho.
With players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, Mesut Ozil, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria and Karim Benzema, all putting up excellent performances, Los Merengues have become one of the toughest teams to beat.
While talking to reporters, Butragueno was quoted as saying:
"We have a coach who is a great leader. He is used to winning titles. He knows exactly how to harness all the different personalities a big team like Madrid contains. That keeps us calm, and now we are coming into this critical stage of the season,
having a coach with all his experience is a great advantage."
"Players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 are much more mature than they were two years ago. Angel Di Maria has helped us a lot, and Gonzalo Higuain has become a stable presence in the team.”
Real Madrid will face APOEL in the midweek to play out the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
