Summary
- Mohamed Aboutrika surprised by Jose Mourinho's calm demeanor.
- Real Madrid lost their first league match to Real Betis.
- Aboutrika predicts Mourinho's calm will not last.
Former Egypt international star Mohamed Aboutrika has voiced astonishment regarding the composed behavior of Jose Mourinho, known as 'the Special One.' This comes in the wake of Real Madrid's initial defeat in the Spanish league. Real Madrid had previously won their first three La Liga games before succumbing 1-0 to Real Betis on a Friday evening. This loss preceded their Champions League league-phase campaign opener against Inter Milan, scheduled for the following Tuesday.
Speaking on beIN Sports, Aboutrika stated that Mourinho's current calm is concerning because it deviates from his typical nature during matches and in public statements. The Egyptian analyst speculated that Mourinho might be strategizing or reserving a moment for a significant outburst. He expressed anticipation for the upcoming match against Inter Milan, noting that major clubs often refocus intensely after experiencing a setback.
Aboutrika further posited that this period of tranquility is unlikely to be sustained. He suggested that Mourinho's calm is expected to break at some point, possibly before a key Clasico fixture against Barcelona or following another loss. The analyst concluded by emphasizing the typical behavior of big clubs when they falter, highlighting their tendency to concentrate fully on their subsequent games.
