Well, lost amidst all the controversy generated by Mous press conference yesterday is the fact that theres a game tonight. And not just any game, as Manuel Pellegrini will be making his return to the Bernabéu (after coaching the team to a record 96 points last season) and Madrid fighting to stay alive in the race for the Liga. Hopefully history will be on our side: Iker Casillas has never lost to Málaga (knock on wood), having won 14 times and tied four times.
ONE. Someone asked in a comment in the previous post why Mous words were disparaging towards Pellegrini, so heres the full question and answer.
Question: Do you think comparisons to the Madrid of Pellegrini are fair, as they had one more point at this point in the season? Do you fear the same thing that happened to him will happen to you, that youll be axed if you dont win a title?
Answer: The same thing no because if Madrid gets rid of me I wouldnt go to Málaga, I would go to a grand club in Italy or England. I wouldnt have any problems in coaching another great club. Comparisons can be made. If you all say that Madrid had one more point and was first, thats true, but you have to also say that they were no longer in the Copa at that point and also had to make a comeback after losing to Lyon.
Thats why people perceived both Manuel and Málaga to be insulted by the statement, as Mou wasnt very tactful.
TWO. In any case, we cant underestimate Málaga tonight, even though they havent been lucky lately, as they are 19th in the table. Weve lost to teams in the relegation zone before, and Málaga is also injured, both physically (they have eight players out due to injury) and in terms of pride, after Mous declarations, and teams like that are always dangerous. On the plus side, the calendar hasnt been favorable to them, as they have three games in six days: they played Monday against Almería, theyll play us tonight and then they have to face Osasuna on Sunday. However, unlike certain people, no complaints about the schedule have been heard coming from them
THREE. I also have to add that hate the way that Manuel Pellegrini left Madrid it reminds me of another departure that I have yet to get over, that of Vicente del Bosque, as there are many similarities in those histories: Florentino Pérez, a coach with the reputation for being a gentleman, a record setting/trophy winning season, a new, brand name Portuguese coach, lack of gentlemanly conduct
If this club really prides themselves on being a gentlemanly club, they have to stop doing things like this.
FOUR. In his time with the press, Mou also revealed that the days of players giving press conferences (remember when it used to be a daily thing?) are more or less over, because the players here are not part of the communication strategy
they go to the press conference and say normal things. I think that you all (referring to the journalists) already have enough to write about with the interviews that Ribot conducts, the time the players spend in the mixed zone after games
you have so many opportunities that I dont believe you need more. And then, if you write about all who criticize me, youll fill 20 pages each day.
