Real Madrid manager Mourinho urges caution on sensitive topics
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho advised restraint on sensitive topics during a pre-match press conference on Thursday, October 31st. His comments came in response to controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s remarks about a ‘meme’ comparing him to a ‘dictador chino’ (dictator Chinese).
“Sometimes the best thing you can do is not open your mouth,” Mourinho stated. He added that such situations highlight the dangers of the modern world and emphasized Mbappé’s responsible behavior regarding a club of high standing. He indicated that Real Madrid’s involvement in the matter is concluded.
Mourinho also addressed the reaction of his player, Harry Kane, to finishing second in the Ballon d’Or. “The way he interpreted the Ballon d’Or, I only felt class and respect. It’s one thing to know you are the best, and another to have that respect for someone who has also done a lot to win that trophy,” he commented.
