Very happy with the last ones who arrived, it is not easy to get into high intensity, have double sessions morning and afternoon, incredible heat, and they arrived with a top mentality. The matter of 45 minutes for Kylian (Mbappé), for Konaté, 30 for Jude (Bellingham), Cucurella, Diomande, these are things that we analyze scientifically with the data we have and with the player's own experience, the knowledge of his body. We arrived in a very acceptable condition for this moment of the season," he added.
Very happy with the latest ones who arrived, they came with a top mentality José Mourinho
Mourinho pointed out that this Sunday’s match in Germany was "positive as a team, positive individually." "There are people who arrived later and still do not have the same intensity as those who started on the first day. Those who started on the first day have 30 training sessions and six matches, those who arrived now have three or four training sessions," he added
"There is a difference in pace, but tactically the ideas are gradually coming together. Players of superior, incredible quality. Working very well as a team, with the ball, without the ball, a very good test, a very good final training session before the good stuff begins, which is truly competing, fighting for points. It’s what we like," he emphasized.
We are playing as a team, there is empathy and collective work José Mourinho
The Portuguese coach highlighted his players' attitude: "We are all here. The players are excited. If they are not, we have a problem. They are showing that they are. Small big details, people who were supposed to show up one day come earlier, the people who arrive on the last day prepared themselves very well individually, we are playing as a team, there is empathy and collective work, the team is starting to look like a team".
