José Mourinho reveals how long his Real Madrid side needs to achieve ‘perfection’

Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho has on Tuesday turned heads across the Spanish football landscape. This comes owing to an answer provided by the Portuguese during his latest press conference.

Real Madrid are of course fresh off an altogether impressive last few weeks on the results front.

Since returning from the international break, José Mourinho’s troops finally appear to have hit their stride under the club’s new headmaster.

Looking like a collective unit rather than a group of talented individuals, the capital outfit have rattled off six successive victories across all competitions.

Los Blancos are primed to return to action for the latest occasion on Wednesday, when they make the trip to Greece for a Champions League meeting with AEK Athens.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference, the aforementioned Mourinho was therefore asked, after four months with his new players, how long he envisions needing to achieve ‘perfection’. And the 63-year-old was not shy in responding:

“Three years. Three seasons.”
