Despite suffering a bitter defeat with 5 goals to nil in the first leg of La Liga at Nou Camp. However, before entering the upcoming consecutive rematches, Real coach Jose Mourinho did not hesitate and proactively attacked his opponent with provocative statements.
Speaking to the press after the victory over Tottenham in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, coach Mourinho did not hesitate to express his opinions about his opponents in the semi-finals.
“Barca are a great team, always playing very well. But even when they are not playing well, they always know how to win." Mourinho alluded to Barca's card-washing without being condemned.
Coach Mourinho always knows how to create psychological pressure on his opponents.
Not long ago, the "special one" caused a shock when he instructed his students Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso to intentionally receive more cards in the penultimate match to advance to the round of 16 completely "clean". With this mischievous action, Real's coach was fined by UEFA and banned from coaching for 1 match.
In the quarter-finals, Real had five players at risk of being suspended if they received more cards. But because they had already been punished in the group stage, even though they had won Tottenham 4-0 in the first leg, Mourinho still did not dare to instruct his players to receive cards and sit out the second leg, thereby ensuring safety when entering the semi-finals.
Real Madrid will have one player suspended in the first leg of the semi-final, centre-back Ricardo Carvalho, after picking up another yellow card in the second leg against Tottenham. Other players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria, and Xabi Alonso are at risk of being suspended for the second leg if they pick up another yellow card in the first leg.
In addition to the above incident, the coach is also worried about another issue before the "super classic" match: the refereeing. He thinks that Barca is always favored by referees, while Real is constantly having players sent off. However, this can also be considered a way for Mourinho to put pressure on the referees, because psychological warfare is always considered the Portuguese coach's forte.
