What everyone thinks about Real Madrid Football Club?
My ambition is success and I wanted to manage Real Madrid. I have no plans to leave. I have only just arrived. There is much work to be done. I do not know how long it will take. But I give my commitment to Real Madrid and we will see. Nothing is forever. But I have to commit. I can’t say Real Madrid one season, Manchester United, Liverpool the next, Barcelona after that. But I like England very much. I have many good friends there.

I understand that if someone wants to compete with them for a player it is very difficult, they are dominant in the market. The player they say they want is the player they get. I was interested in Kolarov when I came here but I couldn't compete with them as they went to values that I couldn't. If they have the money they can do it, if they have the ambition to win the Premier League they can do it.

I think no chance. The historical dimension of Real Madrid and Manchester City you can't compare. But the economical dimension you can compare. And maybe they will win (the Premier League). So I think at the minute Man City is the club to keep their best players and to buy the players that nobody expects them to buy. I don't think, just one year after buying Emmanuel from Arsenal, he's the player to leave.
— Jose Mourinho when asked if he is bidding for Chelsea's Didier Drogba & Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayor / August 24, 2010
We already know who will be the goalkeeper if we lose two. It will be Sergio Ramos or [Sami] Khedira. We train and arrived at these conclusions. It has happened twice already and can happen again. Now, every week Khedira and Sergio Ramos will train in goal just in case. [Alvaro] Arbeloa is not a central defender. If we are in trouble he can play there. Yesterday I tried [Fernando] Gago in defence. Cristiano [Ronaldo] likewise, is not a fixed forward. In this position, you lose certain features.

I can't expect more from the pre-season. I haven't had much time to work with my men because they joined the team gradually throughout the summer, but I'm happy with the attitude showcased by players who wish to work and improve. Good results will come easier the more we work. I don't expect the team to be in top form tomorrow, nor against Mallorca. I expect positive reactions to the friendlies we've played so far.
— Jose Mourinho on his side's pre-season preparations / August 24, 2010
I will not share the line-up with you because the players still don't know what I will do tomorrow. I don't want them to find out through the press. I've called up 23 players, but I wish to have 22 for the match; just two goalkeepers as opposed to three. [Sergio] Ramos, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Iker] Casillas and [Xabi] Alonso didn't play against Hercules and they will play 70 or 80 minutes tomorrow. This will be our first home game. They all did well in the pre-season and therefore deserve to play. The academy deserves it all and we will have to wait for the right time. A youth teamer can't face fire without being ready. It would mean his end as opposed to his start. We must know how to wait. Eight youth teamers have played several minutes with us this month.
