For Jose Mourinho, pragmatism is not thrown out of the window

Jose Mourinho has said there will be times he may need to adopt a more practical approach to the way his team plays.

Mourinho’s men have won their first three Premier League games this season, scoring 10 goals already and conceding none.

The former Chelsea boss told reporters:

“Maybe they are going to say, because my team are not conceding goals, I’m defensive.“We are playing well. Probably in some matches where we are not playing well, probably we are going to be defensive.“Probably if in some match the opponent is playing better than us we have to be pragmatic and realistic and defend.”He maintained that he was “not getting carried away” by the team’s fine start to the season.

The Portuguese added, “Three matches, nine points — it’s good, but it’s three matches.

“We worked really well, had great conditions to work together in a beautiful atmosphere in Los Angeles.

“We played against good teams, the best team in the world [Real Madrid] twice. The preseason was very complete and then we start the Premier League and are playing well.”
