Mourinho explodes against the press: "If they whistle at Mbappé it will be a victory for you. You have looked for problems, it was ridiculous"

The League is back, Madrid is back and Jose Mourinho returned this morning. The Portuguese coach appeared before the media in the Valdebebas press room with a name on the table: Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman was the protagonist during the national team break. He was injured with France and enjoyed a few days off until he returned to the sports city last Monday, October 5. "What you have done has been ridiculous," criticized the Portuguese.

Questioned about the possible boos that Mbappé could receive when Madrid returns to the Bernabéu this Saturday to play against Villarreal, Mourinho was direct with the journalists: "That will be a victory for you." "I thought you had enough and real cases, like the City case or Cristiano's situation in Portugal, but it seems that without Madrid cases it is not good. Madrid is Madrid and you always have to get something. It has been ridiculous," he said.

The Portuguese analyzed in depth the chronology of the Mbappé 'case' during this break. "I honestly think you know me a little, I'm not lying. In this period the Madrid players have been exemplary in their professional situation. Kylian has been here, he has had a diagnosis, he has gone to an outpatient consultation because his knee has a history that cannot be forgotten, and there has been a total coincidence between the Madrid diagnosis and the external one... You have looked for problems, first it was the discotheque that was not a discotheque, transformed for fashion week in Paris, then it was the bicycle in Switzerland, which was a small hotel houses where each house had a couple of bikes to go to the common area... But for you it was already the Tour of Switzerland by bicycle. Do you want a story? It is the first time in 10 years that Madrid arrives in mid-October without an injured player.

"The dynamics lead to that. Whose dynamics? I prefer not to talk. I don't comment on the Bernabéu, I respect them. My hope is that the Bernabéu is capable of being fair, and for me being fair is being intelligent, reading between the lines, understanding the dynamics and the objectives. I promise the Bernabéu that when a Madrid player does not behave like a Madrid player 24 hours a day, they will not see that player on the bench, he will not play, he will be at home. Tomorrow Mbappé is going to play, and if he is going to play it is because I am sure that he has not failed with Madrid or with his obligations," he insisted.

The other name at the press conference was Vinicius, who is not going through his best moment. The Brazilian, however, still has the confidence of the Portuguese. "Meritocracy, yes, but also an openness for the moment. Knowing the best way to help a certain player. There are players when they are not well, there are different strategies for them to improve. For example, Vini. The thing that makes me feel bad and makes me sad is understanding that he wants to be well, to be the Vini who wins games and titles, and it makes me feel bad to feel this pain that he feels. I respect pure and true Real Madrid fans, but it hurts my heart when people, probably influenced by many of you, do not help a boy who deserves it," he reflected.

At a football level, Mourinho admitted that Mbappé will play, that Valverde is a doubt and that Militao still has "a couple of weeks" left to be ready.
