What Luis Enrique has done in a shorter time, but probably in an easier context, at PSG as well.

The question here with Mourinho and Real Madrid is not to change

or to reset the culture or change the culture.

Real Madrid in itself is the culture anyway.

This kind of winning machine that Mina summed up really well before, you even booed the best.

You booed Benzema, you booed Cristiano, you booed Mbappe, you booed Vini, you booed Di Stefano and all of that.

But it's just what will fit the best around this kind of structure and identity and DNA, really.

And who can just feel it the best to make it work again, like a Carlo Ancelotti or like Zinedine Zidane did.

I'm just not sure Mourinho is that guy, to be fair.

I don't think you can say no to Real Madrid, really.

Whoever you are, whenever you are, whenever you are in your career, wherever the club is, out.

So I'm not sure if we should kind of admire the fact that Jose is looking at all this chaos and all this mess and all this crisis and thinking like a lot of managers do.

I mean, I think it was Rafa the other day on the show that was saying like, all of them believe that they can succeed when people haven't succeeded in the same kind of environment before.

But maybe we should admire Jose to say, don't worry, I've got this.

I can go there and just pacify everything and be successful again and win another Champions League, what would be the 16th, and do this and make them work defensively without the ball and Vini and Kylian and Billingham and all of this.

Maybe.

And maybe I just admire the fact that he's probably listening to us now and thinking like, you know nothing.

I know better than you.

There was obviously two parts of the recruitment, Marco, the one in the summer and then the one in January that you actually, I guess you did to, you know, to readjust a little bit what you'd been doing and what the first half of the season happened.

And, you know, to get Immobile, to get Coppola, to get Muniz, for example.
