It seems that José Mourinho hinted at internal issues within the team during a press conference following a disappointing match against Osasuna (0-0). His comment, “In the first days, things happened that I don’t want to talk about. Then, when the difference is so big, one plays without pressure and the other becomes demotivated,” has raised speculation about the nature of these issues.
Mourinho’s statement is somewhat cryptic, and he chose not to elaborate on the specific incidents or problems he was alluding to. Without additional context, it’s challenging to pinpoint the exact nature of the issues he mentioned. The reference to a lack of pressure and demotivation could suggest internal conflicts, performance-related concerns, or other factors affecting the team dynamic.
The mention of Cristiano Ronaldo’s behavior and potential match-fixing creates further speculation, but without direct confirmation from Mourinho or the involved parties, it remains speculative.
It’s not uncommon for teams to face internal challenges or conflicts during a season, and managers often choose whether or not to address these publicly. Mourinho’s decision not to provide specific details may be a strategic choice to manage the situation within the team.
If there are further developments or statements from Mourinho, players, or the club, they would provide more clarity on the situation.
