The Real Madrid head coach revealed that the promoted academy graduates will be allowed to represent the Segunda Division outfit, but will remain incorporated with the first team.
Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho, took out time to reflect on the futures of youth academy graduates, Alvaro Morata, Jesus Fernandez Collado and Nacho Fernandez. He stated that the trio will form the first team’s template but can be allowed to play for Castilla.
Los Blancos saw as many as eight players depart the Santiago Bernabeu dressing room during the 2012 summer transfer window. With only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 and Michael Essien coming into reinforce the numbers at the disposal of Mourinho, the trio have been earmarked
to get numbers under their belt.
The Special One explained that he currently has 20 outfield players with 3 goalkeepers to call upon for the rigours of the competitive season. He stated that while Nacho will compete with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-c5280 Morata and Nacho will be allowed
to play with Castilla.
However, he added in no certain terms that they should be looked at as reserve team players after earning their promotion to the first team.
Continuing on the topic, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 trainer commented that the trio are important to first team affairs as they add to the team’s dynamics, which is already short on numbers after their minimal transfer activity.
"We have a squad of 20 outfield players and three goalkeepers. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nacho-c27212 will be part of the first team. Morata, Jesus and Nacho can play with Castilla, but they are first team players. They all give us solutions, they all give us options they are all are important
to the team because we have a reduced squad".
Mourinho also reflected on Real Madrid’s acquisition of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294 on transfer deadline day. He stated that the Ghanaian midfield destroyer will be a healthy addition to their numbers.
"He has come on loan, he did know what he was going to get out of it, he came a bit in the dark, with the hope of helping out, to be useful and to try for Real Madrid to be able to keep him on at the end of the season. To me it is a fantastic move for the
club."
