Mourinho Reveals Real Madrid Players He Lives With At Valdebebas

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he lives at the club’s Valdebebas training complex with two of his players.

Mourinho made the revelation after Madrid began their LaLiga campaign with a 2-1 victory over Espanyol.

Jude Bellingham opened the scoring before Alex Calatrava restored parity for Espanyol with a composed finish.

Carlos Espi, who came on as a substitute, eventually secured all three points for Madrid with a close-range finish.

Mourinho was particularly impressed with Espi’s contribution and revealed that he has developed a close relationship with the youngster while staying at Valdebebas.

“I like Carlos Espi. I like him a lot. We live together at Valdebebas. He’s very funny,” Mourinho said.

“We have breakfast together every day. We’re living there with Cucurella too.

“All players should know we need all of them, not 13 or 14.”

Mourinho’s comments underline his emphasis on maintaining a strong connection with the entire squad as Real Madrid begin their league campaign.
