José Mourinho: Vinicius gets bullied by opponents and fans | OneFootball

José Mourinho spoke at the press conference after Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid.

"We deserved to win and Espanyol did not deserve to lose" — that is how he began the press conference.

The systems

"The systems? I speak more in terms of the team. They did not have players at the World Cup and you can see how they work as a team, they have been together a long time. When it comes to pressing the way I like to press, we are still lacking miles." And he adds: "A frustrated bench does not help at all, today ours did help us."

The Vinicius issue

"Vini is no saint, but what they do is too much. Everything already has a pattern: now I hit him, then you hit him, then me again. One gets a yellow card, then you hit him, and then another comes in without a yellow and . We are in a social era of 'anti-bullying'; with Vini we are still in bullying, whether from opponents or the crowd. We have to prepare him as much as possible."

Jude Bellingham

"I had doubts about starting him, but he is very strong physically and mentally."

Carlos Espí

"He is a very funny lad. We live together at Valdebebas, he has breakfast, lunch and dinner with us and with Cucu. Tomorrow he is going to be presented, and what a way to be presented. When we found out Gonzalo was going to Fulham, Juni put names on the table for us, we looked, analyzed them carefully, and he is a profile we need."
