Reading the Spanish media, you get the impression that they are simply waiting for a poor performance or a slip-up in terms of the result before launching a full-scale barrage at Jose Mourinho. Even when Real win, it is not “good enough”. It is as if they need to win 10:0 in every match before the fans, the public and the journalists put down their weapons and stop criticising. Surely, every now and then, you can praise what the returning coach of the Spanish giants is doing, such as, for example, winning away at Elche on Matchday 6 of La Liga — 3:2.If there were complaints after the 4:1 win over Rayo last weekend, when every little detail was dissected to find out what was wrong, who knows what the ‘Special One’ will read after this game. Mourinho’s fate is that he is being compared with Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, who are scoring five goals game after game, and per..
