Pepe is famous for his aggressive stance and tackles on the pitch, but Jose Mourinho recently came out in the open to defend the Portuguese centre-back, claiming that he has changed his style-of-play.
Pepe is famous for his aggressive display on the pitch, and his coach, Jose Mourinho, recently came out in the open in order to defend him.
The Portuguese centre-back is famous for making reckless challenges which draw the referee’s attention towards him and he gets booked easily.
However, Jose Mourinho is of the opinion that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 is a player with tremendous personality and since he has already made a poor impression for himself that is the reason why referees do not hesitate to book him.
There are quite a lot of incidents in which Pepe is at fault, but there are also moments when he sees a yellow, or a red card, even when the tackle is fair.
Therefore, the Portuguese mentor, Jose Mourinho, decided to highlight this issue in the open and recently came out in the open to defend his team’s first-choice centre-back.
While speaking about how the referees react to fouls made by Pepe, Jose Mourinho said:
“He is haunted by the referees, and fouls and yellow cards are drawn to him. He has created a certain image but he has a tremendous personality and is a fantastic player who continues to progress.”
Even though Jose Mourinho defended the Real Madrid star, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 boss also spoke about the incidents which have shaped up Pepe’s image as an aggressive tackler.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager spoke about the initial phases through which the Portuguese defender has gone through and said:
“Initially what happened was bad, but now he has much improved and is well respected in the dressing room.”
Pepe is a first-choice centre-back for a team like Real Madrid, and that simply highlights the quality of the player.
Los Blancos are considered to be one of the best clubs in the history of the game, as they currently have the richest history in terms of domestic and European triumphs.
The Spanish giants have won a record 32 La Liga titles, and 9 European titles; something which no other team in Europe has managed to achieve.
