Amid rumors of uncertainty over the contract, head coach Jose Mourinho has given relief to Real Madrid fans. He said that Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. will join the team's training camp from next Monday. The Portuguese coach also expressed the hope of gradually regaining full strength after the World Cup.
In an interview given to Real Madrid TV, Mourinho said that after the World Cup, several important players of the team have not yet joined the camp, so there is some difficulty in the preparation. He said that better preparation could have been done if the entire squad had been given the opportunity to practice for at least three weeks together.
Real Madrid recently drew in their first friendly match. Talking about the current state of the team after the match, Mourinho said that next Monday, along with Vinicius Jr., Brahim and Bernardo will also join the team. At the same time Dumfries, Carlos and Andrik will also get more training time.
Mourinho also said that those who played in the semi-finals and finals of the World Cup will also join the team step by step. Among the footballers who played the final, only Kukurelai is still out of the team, he said.
Mourinho also commented positively on the team's performance. He said Dumfries and Endric had played more than 70 minutes after just three days of training, which was testament to their dedication and professionalism to the club. He is also pleased with the performances of Joan and Mario who came out of the academy. The Real coach commented that they showed a great glimpse of their talent until the physical fight intensified.
According to Mourinho, the combination of youth with experienced footballers is making the team stronger. Carlos even got a chance in the match after training for only an hour, so that he can quickly adapt to the environment of Real Madrid.
It should be noted that recently there have been many speculations about Vinicius Jr.'s new contract. According to various media reports, Real Madrid is not willing to pay more than the previous proposal. However, amid these rumours, the announcement of his return to practice is seen as a positive message for supporters.
