José Mourinho has given an exclusive interview to 'El Chiringuito' in which he spoke about everything. This is the second part of the interview.
"I haven't asked for anyone. I arrived after **** yzing the squad well, being absolutely aware of what I want. Looking at the things that happened last season and that you pass on to Lisbon, I wanted to come in knowing many things and behave as if I knew nothing. And finding a winger with one-on-one ability, aggressive, and who can play on both flanks (Diomandé), is not easy. I don't want to **** yze whether he cost 80, 120... I just say 'yes, I want him'."
"My player? No, he belongs to Pep Guardiola. He brings everything. I hope we can have few problems and a lot of stability and, if we do, Bernardo is a midfielder for me, but he can play as an attacking midfielder, on the right wing, anywhere... It has nothing to do with **** ing him away from Atlético or Barcelona, it was my conviction that Bernardo is Real Madrid level."
"There is only one Kroos and only one Modric. Arda Guler? I love him, and something similar to what happened with Luka will happen to him: you start as a '10', attacking, and in the end you'll finish as an '8' or a '6'... with his understanding of the game, that's the role Arda is going to play."
"How did he ask me to come back? First there were the rumors and much later, the contacts. Benfica means a lot to me and I thought I would stay there for a long time. When Real Madrid contacted me, it had the impact I want players to feel. When he called me... easy. I had no doubts. Returning to a club has a lot of meaning. When I returned to Chelsea for the second time. After so many years and so many coaches, you are the best and I want you to come back. And I came back."
