Real Madrid boss Mourinho satisfied after thrashing Tianjin

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho was pleased to sign off their China tour with a 6-0 thumping of Tianjin Ted.

Mourinho is delighted with the form they've shown in the Far East.

He said: "It was difficult to play this game with a team that is mentally exhausted. It hasn't been an easy week, the condition of the pitch was very bad and we haven't trained very well in the last couple of days. Also, things got heated during the game after an isolated action and we preferred to play a calm game against an opponent weaker than the one before.

"We've finished this preseason without any big problems and now we are going home. I'm happy with the attitude of my players during this week in China. It's a shame that the players will not have a chance to rest due to the international games with their respective countries, but the preseason is over.

"What we've been interested in during the preseason is the work of the team. In the US, we worked a lot and very well, during the week we spent in Europe we saw the results of the work we had done in America, and in China we showed the world the prestige Real Madrid have in the best way possible because the players played seriously."
