Jose Mourinho: Mesut Ozil has won us all over

Jose Mourinho praised his men for earning an impressive 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad.

“We were able to use rotations, to allow some players to rest, to play well for several minutes and to win with ease.”

“I’m here to try to win the title, but nothing will be the matter if I end up in second place. What’s important to me is that we don’t give away the championship. If we do our job well and finish second we will be able to hold our heads high at the start of the holidays. Mathematics still say it is possible for us to win.”

“Ronaldo’s run in La Liga will be fantastic even if he doesn’t score another goal in the remainder of the season. I’d like to underline that. I say this to my men also. He always plays to the limit of his capabilities and ambitions. He gives his all for this team. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t score. I don’t have preference for him.”

“Adebayor played very well and proved why he’s here. We have two strikers in optimum form right now who have different characteristics. Karim played 85 minutes against Sevilla and will most surely face Brazil with France next week. That’s why I played Adebayor. We are happy with both players. This situation is perfect.”

“Ozil has a lot of responsibility with us and with Germany, who are an important national team. He responds well to this. He stands out for the ease he has to assimilate new things. He played in Di Maria’s position today and the way he covered open spaces made it look like it was his natural position. He will be a fantastic player for Real Madrid for ten years. He has won us all over, fans and team alike.”

“Lass is one of those 13 or 14 players who could easily be starters. Garay also played well in defence. Marcelo’s return also helped. Kaka is ready to play very well for an hour, not more, but he did very well.”
