The Special One hailed the manner in which Los Blancos players sealed a come from behind victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s charges at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Down 1-2 with five minutes of regulation time still to play, Jose Mourinho’s world was coming down. However, late goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 ensured Real Madrid’s hapless form would not see light at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid twice came back into the match, with a delighted Mourinho hailing his players for their performance. It was a completely different response from the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 trainer, who had bemoaned lacklustre displays after Madrid’s fixtures
against Sevilla and Getafe.
“I have recovered my team and I hope that they don’t disappear. I have been proven right, because if you are able to play well against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and City then you can do so forever,” Mourinho claimed while talking to reporters after the game.
Continuing on the topic, the Portuguese trainer stated that he is proud of the team irrespective of what result they achieve in the world, claiming that he had similar feelings when Real Madrid lost at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan and the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
“I’m proud of my team, whatever the result. I felt that even when things were not going in the right direction.”
Reflecting on the victory, Mourinho stated that Los Blancos could have lost the fixture but managed to overcome the stern task with their senses intact. He commented that had Real Madrid players lost their cool at the Bernabeu, they would have suffered a
similar defeat to what they got in La Liga over the weekend.
“Real Madrid can lose games like tonight, fighting like animals, but not like how they did against Getafe and Sevilla. It was important to have a sense of what we wanted to be.”

Real Madrid are involved in their second away Madrid derby against Rayo Vallecano and will have nothing but three points on their minds to improve their league standings.
