Valverde on Mourinho: "I didn't expect him to be like this"

Real Madrid captain Federico Valverde has spoken about his experience working with new coach Jose Mourinho and the training process.

"From my first days with him, I didn't expect Mourinho to be like this. He is very sincere with the players. Sometimes he can be very demanding and strict, but that is what makes us stronger. I like his attitude towards the whole team and me personally," said Valverde.

According to Valverde, the team members are completely satisfied with the work of the new coaching staff:

"I'm trying to learn more from him and get the most out of every training session with the coach and his staff. All the players are happy with the current situation. As captain, I'm happy that all my teammates feel good and free."

For information, Real Madrid played against the Hungarian club Ferencvaros in a friendly match. This match, which took place in Budapest, ended with a 2-1 victory for Jose Mourinho's team.
