The special one was content with his team’s performance in a 2-1 win over Levante and was full of praise for match winner, Morata.
Real Madrid boss, Jose Mourinho, is pleased with his players and praised his side’s efforts on a water-logged pitch at Ciudad de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863.
The capital-based outfit was made to fight for the three points at stake by the spirited U.D Levante side, but eventually came out on top after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-c5280 Morata scored with his first touch, late into the second half.
The match started in appalling weather conditions, which negated the prospect of Los Blancos playing their natural fluent football.
Jose Mourinho thus chose to field up a 4-4-2 formation against a side that has usually struggled to face away from home.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734, who made no mistake after controlling the ball with
his thigh and riffling it into the roof of the goal.
Ronaldo, who had suffered from a blow to the eye earlier in the game, was forced to make way at the half time interval for Raul Albiol.
The weather continued to worsen after the break and Casillas was forced to make a superb save after a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Albiol error.
Real soon found themselves back in command and twice hit the cross bar before the 60th minute mark.
Jose Mourinho was left stunned when substitute Angel scored by lifting the ball over Casillas, bringing Levante on level terms with the champions during the 62nd minute.
There was further misery for the Portuguese coach, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045’s penalty kick was saved by Munua in the 73rd minute, after Callejon was brought down by Ballesteros in the box.
But there was yet another twist in the tale as substitute Morata saved Mourinho’s blushes by nodding in another superb Xabi Alonso free kick in the 84th minute, leading Madrid to a hard fought win.
“El http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nino-c28051 is very stable mentally and I hope that remains the case after he has read what will be published in the days to come.”
Mourinho was pleased with his side’s performances and took out time to praise young Morata who had a great impact on the outcome of the match.
