The former Real Madrid director added more fuel to the fire, continuing his fractious relationship with the Special One as he replied to his latest comments.
FIFA imposed international break is set to come to an end as Spanish top flight football resumes. With 19 members of his first team squad summoned by their respective national teams, Jose Mourinho finally caught a break at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Special One used the two weeks at his disposal to shuffle his feathers, taking jibes at all and sundry in the Old Continent. Mourinho’s ‘special’ relationship with former club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Valdano,
was not spared as well.
Valdano returned the favour with his own criticism of the much travelled and successful trainer, hitting out at the manner he demeans Madridista in his own fashion.
The Argentine questioned Mourinho’s logic, stating that his experiences at the Santiago Bernabeu are nothing out of the ordinary, as they are expected at a high profile club.
 “I didn't take the hint when Mourinho talked about Madrid fans in disguise,” he said while in conversation with Madrid based Spanish sports daily, AS. “There are those who are pro Madrid, and those who are anti Madrid, but that is to be expected at a big
club.”
Continuing with the verbal attack, Valdano voiced his belief that Mourinho does not deserve to be in the Spanish capital. He stated that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager does not understand Real Madrid’s traditions.
Valdano supported his claims by pointing at the legacy left behind by Alfredo Di Stefano, claiming that Los Blancos players do all that is possible in their human capacity on the pitch.
“No one has an exclusive Madridista feeling. Mourinho spoke of the values that helped make Real Madrid. Those values are in the stadium, the anthem, in the discretion that characterised the great heroes of the club and the club's general behaviour.
“Since the arrival of [Alfredo] Di Stefano we must die on the pitch. As one Argentine journalist said, Di Stefano watered the pitch with his sweat.”
