The Real Madrid manager admitted that he is unhappy with the situation after the defender was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol. The club has also opened disciplinary proceedings against the player. José Mourinho made no attempt to hide his frustration. The Real Madrid manager addressed Raúl Asensio’s situation at a press conference after the defender was fined for driving while intoxicated, and he was blunt: “I’m not happy. We all make mistakes, but when they pile up, that’s a different matter.” The club has already opened disciplinary proceedings against the center-back, who is also facing trial over his alleged involvement in the distribution of a sexual video involving two young people aged 17 and 18. Mourinho distinguished between Asensio’s behavior on and off the pitch. “When I arrived, I spoke to him about things from the past. Since then, I no longer talk about situations outside Valdebebas. Because inside, he is a true professional. When he was fit, nobody trained harder or better than him. Now that he’s injured, he’s the first to arrive and the last to leave.” However, the manager was clear about where the limits lie: “A Real Madrid player is one 24 hours a day. What you do outside can damage your reputation and that of the club.” With the disciplinary proceedings still ongoing, Mourinho preferred to stay out of the matter: “As a coach, while the disciplinary proceedings are open, I see him as a Real Madrid player. And he will continue to be one for a few more weeks. This allows me to stay out of this problem.”   submitted by   /u/IndividualPleasant23 [link]   [comments]
