🎙️ Mourinho after beating Rayo: we're an all-action team

Real Madrid coach José Mourinho analyzed his team’s emphatic victory over Rayo Vallecano. The Portuguese manager described the win as “fundamental” after the previous league setback and the physical toll built up from European competition.

Efficiency, fatigue and ruthlessness

Mourinho acknowledged his squad’s attacking intent, although he pointed out their lack of precision. “We’re scoring a lot, but we’re also missing far too many chances. We’re a frantic team that wins the ball back and accelerates,” said the Real Madrid boss. He also highlighted the huge effort from players such as Jude Bellingham, Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Konaté.

Workload management and Valverde’s absence

Regarding rotations, the Portuguese coach explained that Federico Valverde’s substitution was a precautionary measure due to discomfort in his Achilles tendon, stressing the need to manage the squad carefully amid a demanding schedule.
