Capello was reflecting on the problems facing Jose Mourinho, who has seemingly argued with everyone at the Bernabeu of late if reports are to be believed.

“When you train at Madrid, you should know that before and after you there is Madrid and the Madrid fans,” said Capello.

“Above the coach and the players, above everyone, is the name of Madrid. The only one who has done something different and whose name is closest to that of Madrid’s is Santiago Bernabeu, as President. And as Coach and player, Di Stefano.”
