Schuster slates Real Madrid boss Mourinho's team selection: A MESS!
Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has attacked Jose Mourinho for his team selection for their first-leg Copa defeat to Barcelona.
Schuster feels Mourinho blew Real's chance of dumping Barca out of the Copa with his choices.
"That day we all agree, who knows more or less , that was a mess. A mess, horrible or whatever you want to call it, no disrespect to anybody," Schuster told Onda Cero.
"It was a shame, because one-on-one you can say they're a match for Barca. If you fail sometimes you should not complain about the referee.""Seeing who was selected, I said to myself 'this is unbelievable'. No one knows what happened there, I would like to know what he was thinking to select this team. A player who had not played for a long time, Pepe in the midfield ... it was weird and it was time to eliminate Barca.

The league is set upso that the champion is the team that over 38 games was the best and the most consistent. So up until now, madrid have been better then barca and more consistent. Will that change? I hope so because i hate real madrid and everything they stand for.
The only question is how can madrid beat barcelona at their own HOME that question remains unsolved 8===D~~~0; praaaaa
Schuster - the Getafe coach made more messy selections during his time at Real Madrid than Mourinho. Also lost more games that should have been won in the process. Sure, Mourinho raises controversy after another but that is part of the game that keeps people interested. On record Jose and the team are doing well, in case nobody notice. Everything in Real Madrid is fine (in the Liga and Champions League) the only problem is Barcelona. If Barcelona is that good .....why are they 7 pionts behind Madrid? I seek not know all the answer.....but to understand the question !!!
