After finishing training, Mourinho came to the press conference hall, and Mourinho changed into another face - a little indifferent and a little careless.

"Is there anything special about the Madrid derby? In my opinion, it's just an ordinary game."

Speaking of tomorrow's derby, he was relaxed, "Of course, I know these three points are crucial to the fans, but it won't change anything to me personally - I've been through too many derbys. It's just another game we have to win because we want to keep the top spot."

It seems that the reporters are more worried than Mourinho. For example, the strong firepower that Fran and others may create will be a big test for any team. But Mourinho obviously disagrees: "All games are tests for us. Atletico Madrid has excellent forwards, but a team does not equal their forwards. The key is always my own team. If we play as we deserve, we will win."

As for tomorrow's starter? Mourinho has no intention of hiding it: "It's still the original eleven people."

At the same time, he also said that there is no clear distinction between main and substitute in the team. "Today's main players may be substitutes tomorrow, and vice versa. We are not playing with a fixed team for eleven months, but we have to adjust the lineup every day. I can't say that Carvalho and Aveloa are Real Madrid's substitutes. Although they have to sit on the bench, they have the same level. At the end of the season, they will play as many games as others. Everything is temporary. I have confidence in the whole team. Every time the team scores a goal, all the players on the bench participate in the celebration. It is with such players that it becomes easier to be a coach and a leader."

Real Madrid is doing well now, and they have not lost the season yet, but Mourinho is sure that he has not deliberately pursued this record: "The day we lose will always come, and after that we will continue to win and set new records. This is not a dramatic thing for me. If I have to choose between draws and adventures, I will not consider the record, but will take the risk to win."

He is even more unworthy of the number of Atletico Madrid's eleven years of victory at the Bernabeu: "Statistics represent the past. In the world of football, the past numbers have no importance. It only means that it is difficult to win at the Bernabeu - every visiting team knows this. We are not fighting for statistics, we are fighting to win league titles, and to achieve this goal you have to win more games. For this, we need to win tomorrow."

When he said this, his tone was as patient as an elementary school teacher.

A reporter "flatteringly" complimented by Mourinho Real Madrid that people have stopped the argument about Mourinho's playing too defensively. Mourinho did not take this: "The argument was originally you arguing, it has nothing to do with me. My team has been working hard to win the game. If one day it plays conservatively, it is because we only have ten people left. When eleven is on the eleven, my team will not use the defensive style."

When asked about Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo's recent shooting of a fashionable photo for the Spanish magazine "DT", Mourinho smiled: "Young people have activities for young people. If DT doesn't ask them to take pictures, would they ask me to take pictures? As long as they can win in the game, I will never ask about their private lives. Of course, everyone's private lives must have a bottom line and are in line with ethical scope."

The last sentence seemed to be hitting Benzema again...
