In the name of Madridismo, Jose Mourinho thinks that Real Madrid will defeat Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday night.
Before a ball gets kicked at the Camp Nou, Los Blancos could got 2 points above rivals Barcelona. The latter will entertain Real Madrid’s local foes Atletico in an exciting La Liga fixture. As of now, Jose Mourinho’s men occupy the 7th spot in the standings with 7 points from a possible 12.
Real Madrid started the campaign well by destroying Real Zaragoza and overpowering Getafe during the first 2 match-days. But they then lost to Levante and drew away to Racing Santander. It’s been 180 minutes since Real Madrid last found the net in La Liga but Jose Mourinho refuses to see the situation as a crisis.
“Some people are interested in perpetuating this so-called crisis and others face reality, which is we didn't play well last week,” the Portuguese declared during Friday’s press conference.
“You can talk about three games and three weeks of poor performances, or about three games and one week of bad performances. I feel those who relish our bad results will be disappointed tomorrow.
“Madridismo expects us to be ambitious, responsible and to have character to face a situation that is far from being dramatic.”
Jose Mourinho has confirmed the exclusion of Pepe and Carvalho from tomorrow’s game. Sergio Ramos is expected to fill the centre back position whereas Fabio Coentrao might be rested ahead of next week’s Champions League match at home to Ajax.
Rayo Vallecano lost 2-1 at home to Levante last weekend despite enjoying 63 % of ball possession. They are 11th in La Liga standings with 5 points from 4 matches. According to Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, “Rayo Vallecano are good people with good character who are passionate about football.”
