Jos\u00e9 Mourinho spoke to the media in the press conference after Elche<\/a> 2-3 Real Madrid<\/a>, a match corresponding to Matchday 6 of LaLiga EA Sports<\/a>. The coach spoke about the team\u2019s lapse in concentration, Esp\u00ed\u2019s performance, defensive frailty, and Diomand\u00e9\u2019s minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s obvious. It\u2019s easy to understand. These are games that are basically over, where we have chances to kill them off and we don\u2019t. After failing to kill it off, we go from being comfortable to losing control. We didn\u2019t score. When everything seems easy, you stop doing the things you need to do. The explanation I find is that if the game seems easy and you don\u2019t finish it off, then you drop off, lose control, and misread that sense of ease. It can happen. Nothing is easy. The players need to rest, tomorrow they have a day off. If we play badly from minute one to 90, then the concern is huge. If we have top periods and others where we\u2019re not proactive, just waiting, without intensity… Of course it worries me. But we won.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHe\u2019s doing well, he\u2019s contributing to the team. Ahead of him he has a player who is not normal. Playing with both of them together is not easy. Otherwise, we don\u2019t have players out wide to be quick and the team loses balance. With the changes at the end, I risked everything. We won, we could have lost, but it had to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHe\u2019s growing. Physically, you can see he has more minutes in his legs. He has a very good work rate, intelligence, and he did a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt worries me in every game, not just with Sunday in mind. I like my team to score goals, to always score, with the exception of Betis. I like that. But I like to control games, I don\u2019t like giving things away. Elche played well, they made changes that altered their structure. We have a bench with plenty of solutions and in ten minutes we had some very dangerous attacks. We scored, we won, three points, nothing more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cNo, nobody is indispensable. We were losing control when I made the changes, Vini did a very good job defensively, he was very tired. And Arda, who played in this number 10 position, was also dropping in intensity. I brought on a fresh Jude and Brahim, and I did it at 0-2 but sensing that I was losing control. That\u2019s how it happens to us. And then we went with the heavy artillery and got it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
