"Mourinho did everything that was in his power for Real Madrid. Not many of the people who acused him or the players can say this. We are a club whose players think about themself mainly and then about the others, the team or the colours. " "Some of the players don't like a coach who doesn't let you waste time, or relax. And Mourinho was this type of coach. Personally, I like that side of him." "What happened to him happened even to Del Bosque in the past. When the club signed him, everyone was happy about how good he is. Only nice words. But after he started his work, the media started the criticism, which is not a normal thing. It's painful and it causes trouble for those who are at the club or around him, in general, which is not good at all." "That's how I feel and many times I felt like I was paying for defending Mourinho. But these are my honest thoughts about him." "I must admit that this has been my worst season since I'm a footballer. The trouble in my personal life affected my game" That's a translation that I'm not so sure about (and I apologize about that), but I think the main ideas are pretty clear for everyone.
