The Portuguese mentor is confident that Los Blancos can put forward a remarkable performance despite being drawn in the Group of Death.
This year’s UEFA Champions League draws brought forward an interesting twist as 4 champions from top competitive leagues across Europe were drawn in one group.
Audiences all over the world rejoiced as they saw the English, Spanish, German and Dutch champions being tipped against one another in the group stages of the prestigious tournament.
The European draws saw Real Madrid, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax facing each other in Group D of the Champions League.
However, despite all the competition that exists in the Group D, Jose Mourinho is convinced that Los Vikingos can make it through to the knock-out stages without much trouble. The veteran trainer expressed that he will not be losing any sleep worrying about
the competition in his side’s group.
Although the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan boss admitted that the Whites will have to face a great deal of adversity, he reassured the Madrid faithful that the Spanish giants have every capability of making it to the next round.
Nevertheless, Mourinho conceded that he does expect qualification to the next round to be easy. He also made another interesting remark, when he added that tougher matches are the ones that his team finds easier to prepare for.
The Special One continued the discussion by claiming that the Santiago Bernabeu outfit have grown stronger and more competitive. He went on hailing the spirit of his side.
While talking to reporters, the 49-year-old was quoted as saying:
“It’s not going to be easy. But knowing my team, my players, also I have to be honest and say that intense matches are matches that I find, rather, we find, easier to prepare for than others. I am reassured in the knowledge that Real Madrid have developed
a hugely competitive spirit. There is no need to say anything else about the team.”
“They know they have to be on top of their game and give everything in the Champions League and that, whether they play good, better or normal matches they have to take on the team that is in front of them.”
Real Madrid managed to reach the last four of the Champions League last season before being eliminated at the hands of Bayern Munich.
