Current Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho revealed the reason for his use of the “iron fist” during his first period with the capital club, saying that the team’s players were “pampered” after Iker Casillas, the captain at the time, asked him to give the players more vacations.

The documentary about the Portuguese man’s career showed important details about the tension in his relationship with Real Madrid players during the period between 2010 and 2013, as “Special One” revealed: The first time Casillas came to my office to request additional leave for the team’s players joining the Spanish national team, then the second time he asked to postpone training for an entire hour due to traffic congestion in Madrid, and the third time he asked not to set up a camp in the hotel before the match and instead go directly to the stadium.

A famous call took place between Casillas and Xavi Hernandez, a former Barcelona and Spanish national team player, in order to calm the heated atmosphere in the “El Clásico” matches, which sparked the dispute between Mourinho and Iker, as the former said: Here is a competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​in the national team it is another matter, we are currently in a state of war. Here are things that I do not accept and will not accept, and when someone does not respect me, there becomes a problem.

He continued: There are many bad habits that have taken root in the team. The traditional rival, Barcelona, ​​excels in matches with overwhelming results, while the players search for comfort.

Sami Khedira, a former Real Madrid player and Mourinho’s current assistant, said: Mourinho’s dispute with Casillas extended to a number of players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Spanish players, which made the dressing room turn into hell.
