Jose Mourinho celebrates a nine year unbeaten run in any league match at home - La Liga update
Over the weekend, Jose Mourinho celebrated his ninth anniversary of an unbeaten run at home league games. The Real Madrid coach represents the most alluring statistics of club football as of today. He tasted the last home defeat when he was coaching Porto
on 23rd February, 2002 against Beira Mar.
Beira Mar thrashed the Dragons in a sensational yet close 3 - 2 victory. Since then, Mourinho has enjoyed an unbeaten run for the last nine years and he has notched 147 home victories during his stay at Real Madrid, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Inter Milan. Out of those
clashes, 122 were victories and 25 were draws. While for the last seven months, he has a 100 per cent track record with Real Madrid in all competitions whether home or away. Los Blancos snatched a victory against the relegation-hit Levante in a crushing 8
- 0 game. Three more victories to Mourinho could end up into an iconic figure of 150 unbeaten games. Fans are anxiously awaiting the El Clasico between the champions Barcelona and the invincible Real Madrid that will be played on 16 April.
Currently, Mourinho is having a hard time with Spanish media, which is badgering the Portuguese tactician for his notorious comments and inability to follow Jorge Valdano’s orders. The general Manager of Real Madrid, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Valdano, was in favor of Karim
Benzema staying on the team, while Mourinho was reluctant because of Benzema’s terrible run during the current spell of La Liga. Mourinho is also under fire for a statement about his return to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 where he enjoyed two back to back English Premier League
(EPL) title triumphs with Chelsea. The 48-year-old boss was also lethargic about signing a new striker but Valdano was in favour of a new procurement to boost the teams striking power. Mourinho stated that he would leave Santiago Bernabeu only when he would
be asked to. He also dismissed the speculations of his possible departure from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011. He affirmed his full control over the club and also talked about his four year contract with Los Blancos. He said, “When I signed for four years I did it with the intention
to respect my contract. When you leave a team like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 for Real Madrid you don't do it for one year. I want to stay and if we are all united in belief for this project then it's obvious I will stay.”
Real Madrid’s most prolific striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, congratulated his coach for achieving the milestone. Ronaldo was amongst the very first people to congratulate the boss. He asserted,
“Congratulations to Mourinho to beat an incredible record of not losing at home for nine years. We celebrated with a good win.” It seems that once again The Special One has lived up to his name.
