In a nutshell, Mourinho let known that he has no problem with Iker Casillas at all, simply that he likes more Diego Lopez as a goalkeeper & he makes the decision as Coach. Plus he sent a "shiver" down the spine of many players & media observers ( & perhaps the Club ) insinuating that he may actually stay at Real Madrid next season.
Here are some true gems ...selected Mourinho comments which I have translated to English.
"Me planteo seguir y siempre jugará Diego López conmigo"
"I am thinking in staying, & Diego Lopez always would play with me"
I think the "I am thinking of staying" is very ironic & sarcastic ( even humorous ) from Mourinho.
When asked about Pepe:
“Su problema tiene un nombre: Rafael Varane”.
"His problem has a name: Rafael Varane"
He later when on to say that the future defensive line of Real Madrid is Varane & Sergio Ramos.
Then he put the final boot in ( nail in the coffin ) for Pepe with:
"No es fácil para un hombre de 31 años, con status y un pasado, ser atropellado por un niño de 19 años".
"It is not easy for a man (player) of 31, with status and a past, be "run-over" by a 19 year old boy" (Varane)
Devastating for Pepe , & just as nightmarish for Iker Casillas.
Mourinho maybe "bluffing" that he will stay at Real Madrid next season as a tactic to stop players speaking out in public before the important Spanish Cup Final against Atletico de Madrid on Friday 17 May. Or not!
Either way we are in for some exciting & explosive stuff in coming days & weeks.
