Napoli defender Albiol: No problems with Mourinho at Real Madrid

Napoli defender Raul Albiol says he had no problem with Jose Mourinho last season at Real Madrid.

Albiol featured in just 18 League games for Real last term under Mourinho.

"I didn't ask for explanations when I played and did not expect them when I was not playing. With Mourinho there was never a bad relationship, I always got along with him. That is normal with my boss.

"The last three months at Madrid were unpleasant, because we lost the League, we were eliminated from the Champions League and lost the Copa del Rey Final.

"Maybe last year was the worst in respect of the dressing room atmosphere, but I will stick with the good and my relationship with Mourinho was normal."
