Los Blancos have conceded 9 goals in 6 matches and Mourinho is unhappy with the team’s defensive record despite leading La Liga with a considerable margin.
Even though Real Madrid are ten points clear of Barcelona, Jose Mourinho is not pleased with the home form of the Spanish giants.
Los Blancos have conceded cheap goals since the turn of the New Year. Such has been the form of Madrid players, that despite winning most of their matches, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in front of home fans at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portuguese manager, who is targeting the UEFA Champions League after almost ensuring La Liga title, is dissatisfied with his team’s defensive performance. The Special One has a lot of experience in the continental competition and knows that winning in
Europe demands perfection.
Real Madrid have conceded goals against Malaga and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the Copa del Rey, while Granada, Athletic Bilbao, Real Zaragoza and Levante have managed to beat Casillas in the league.
Reflecting on their problems at home, Mourinho asked his players to play with the same intensity at home as they play on their travels.
"We must be defending at home as we defend outside, we cannot have these blind spots," an anxious Special One stated.
“All the great teams in history have been built back to front,” Mourinho repeated his mantra of his first session in charge of the Santiago Bernabeu dressing room. "More attention, more pressure, more defence," are the words the technician has repeated in
every practice.
Sevilla currently have the worst defensive record at home with 16 goals conceded, and Mourinho’s men are not far off as they have conceded 15.
