Real MadridTOJust hours after the Portuguese was European champion at the Bernabu
ANDhe 22nd of May is a veryspecialforJos Mourinho. In the same night, the Portuguese technician won his second (and last)European Cup,leading theInter against Bayern de Van Gaal,and closed his signing as Real Madrid coach at a dinner withFlorentino Prez.At that dawn one of the most relevant stages of the recent history of theReal MadridtheMou Team.
The scene that hinted at that dinner betweenFlorentino and Mouwas captured by a camera. The Portuguese was mounted in a dark Audi in the access area to theBernabu prkingassisted by a trusted man of the Madridista president. As his players boarded the team bus, the coach left the stadium alone. Although before doing so, he stopped the driver and got out to hug excitedly withMaterazzi, a last goodbye to one of his Praetorians inMiln.
At that dinner the master lines of thatMou Team 1.0, a year in which they reached theCasa Blanca Di Mara, Khedira, zil and Carvalho,in addition to aCanales and a Pedro Lenthat were already signed. That is, in the Portuguese preferences list there were alsoMaicon, Kolarov and Gerrard.
The ‘neroazzurra’ expedition, with Massimo Moratti at the helm, returned to Milan for the festivities, in which Mourinho was not present. Mou chose before starting to prepare his white project than to celebrate a historical title for Inter, who also won the treble that year.MendesHe had already been fertilizing the land for his departure, although he had a 16-kilo class. To unlock it, days laterFlorentinehad to travel to Milan to unlock it andMadrid ended up paying eight million to take Mourinho.
However, on the eve of the final, the Portuguese already knew that he would be the substitute forPellegrinion the white bench. The Portuguese prepared the final inValdebebasand there he met a group of youth squads among whom he wasMorata. He spent a few moments with them, told them that they would surely present him the following Tuesday (he was delayed due to the problems in reaching an agreement) and that he should have the quarry. He already knew before winning theEuropean Cupwho will be the new coach ofReal Madrid.
At that incredible dinner (a recent European champion sitting with his future president) began to change the history of theMadrid, after two blank years and victim of the jinx the eighths ofChampionsfor six years. The white team began to compete t-to-t with theBara de Guardiola,that came from the sextet andwho won a Copa del Rey and a League in the first two years of Mourinho. They were the foundation of everything that would come later.
