Jose Mourinho was pleased with the attitude of his players in Real Madrid’s league meeting with Rayo Vallecano. However, it was off field affairs that the Special One did not appreciate.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 trainer did not like the manner in which the league meeting was delayed from Sunday to Monday, especially the fact that Los Blancos were in the dark whether the fixture will go ahead on the stipulated rescheduled time and date.
“It was not easy to maintain the pressure for the match from yesterday, only at 3.30pm was it confirmed that we would be playing.”
Mourinho stated that the delay in the fixture was strange and did not help their preparations for the lesser known Madrid derby. He added that Los Blancos’ concentration for the match was affected by the scheduling problems as no one knew whether the game would go ahead on not.
The Real Madrid manager added that he is sure Rayo Vallecano will have similar feelings to share.
“Everything was strange with the suspension and the situation was difficult. We had come to play, hoped to stay focused and we had to leave yesterday without knowing when we would be playing.”
“But that was the same for Rayo too. We managed to overcome it.”
Reflecting on the details of the match, Mourinho hailed the fight put up by Rayo Vallecano. He hailed the tight battle between the two sides, whilst also claiming that had Los Blancos players put their chances to bed, their second goal would have come earlier in the game.
“It was a game with great pressure, but we also pushed and managed to get the ball up-field and we had great chances to score after our second goal, some easy ones and we could have scored more.”
