Mourinho gave an interview to Real Madrid TV, discussing Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Ferencvaros in their second preseason friendly match.

"First, I want to thank Ferencvaros for giving us an excellent training session. They played 5 Europa League matches and several league matches, and you could see their high intensity. I was more satisfied with the first half than the second half, which didn't surprise me. The first half featured the lineup we've been working with and have played several matches, so the players had better chemistry. We had very good control of the game."

"After that, Vinicius and Bernardo Silva came on. They haven't had much playing time and have only been training for a few days. We also adjusted Endrick's position, which somewhat disrupted our team organization. However, what's more important than executing everything perfectly is making some mistakes in the game, which allows me to reflect, analyze, and continue improving with the players. A simple example: in the league, if you're leading 2-1 at the 47th minute, you can't make that kind of forward pass, you can't lose possession, and you can't end the match with dangerous fouls like this. At the 47th minute, you have to know what to do. Every small mistake that accumulated during this match is very valuable to me."

"The most important thing is Vinicius's contract extension. This is a happy occasion for him and all of us. Both he and Bernardo Silva have only participated in a few training sessions. The others have been training for weeks, entering the match with fatigue from previous sessions. I don't expect Vinicius to pick up the ball 50 meters away and score a goal today; it's a process. Without a doubt, he'll be better next Wednesday, and even better when we go to Germany next Sunday."

"Bernardo Silva is very important, but he's just come back from vacation. He's the type of person who completely shuts off his mind during vacation, so he returned in much worse physical condition and needs to improve. However, he's a remarkable player; if he plays deeper, he can carry the ball forward. If he plays as a 6 or 8, he can help us attack well. During the match, I saw his physical fitness was still a bit lacking, so I moved him to the 10 position and brought in Sestelo to give us more stability there. Bernardo Silva is also very comfortable at the 10 position."

"He can play three or four positions, which is very important for a coach and a squad that we hope stays lean—which I believe will be around 20 players, plus injured players like Militao, Rodrygo, and Mendy. We don't expect them to recover in the coming weeks, so we need players like Bernardo Silva who can adapt to different positions."
