Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho insists he is happy to go with Rafael van der Vaart this season. The Dutchman is being made available by Real for the remaining days of the market and missed yesterday's friendly against Penarol.
"I like Rafa," said Mourinho. "He has played less in preseason because I have been playing with Benzema, who entered the second half and Di Maria also.
"Under normal conditions I would also have played Rafa for 45 minutes without problems."
