Mourinho expects Clasico show
Jose Mourinho has promised 2 contribute 2 a football spectacle tat the whole world k enjoy when his Real Madrid side visit Barcelona 4 El Clasico on Monday.
The meeting of Spain's 2 best sides is as eagerly anticipated as ever, but the fact tat it is Mourinho's 1st match @ Camp Nou as Real coach has certainly added 2 the occasion.
Mourinho formerly worked as assistant 2 Sir Bobby Robson & Louis van Gaal @ Barcelona, b4 forging his own career during high-profile spells with Porto, Chelsea & Inter.
However, he angered Barca fans during his time @ Chelsea when the 2 clubs met in the Champions League & also knocked the club out of the competition last season when taking Inter 2 the Treble.
Inter's tactics were designed 2 stifle a fluid Barcelona side but Mourinho does not appear ready 2 issue similar instructions 2 Real as they prepare 2 face the Catalans on Monday.
"It is our responsibility 2 put on a great game - the coaches, the players & the referee," Mourinho told As. "We hv 2 give the world a super game."
Real currently lead Barca by 1 point in the league & such is the 2 clubs' dominance over the rest of the division, Monday's game has been painted as an absolutely crucial 1 in the title race.
El Clasico will be a novel experience 4 Real's young summer signings Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira & Angel Di Maria, & Mourinho admits he is unsure hw they will respond 2 the fearsome atmosphere.
"You nvr knw how the team will react," Mourinho said. "Physically we r fine & know what 2 do, but we face a team tat has had a lot of time working 2gether & we hv only had a few months. But, in any case, we must be prepared 4 any eventuality."
