🚨🎙️ José Mourinho on his conversation with Vinícius Júnior after substituting him for Yan Diomandé; 🎙️Reporter: "José, there was a visible moment of frustration when Vinícius Júnior was substituted off tonight. What exactly was said between the two of you on the touchline?" 🗣️José Mourinho: "Look, it is completely normal that he is unhappy. A player of his level expects to be on the pitch, but I could see from his reaction and body language that Vini was upset, not just because he was coming off, but because he knew deep down his performance fell below what it should be. He knows his capacity, he knows what he is capable of, and right now he is in a difficult moment where he is underperforming." 🎙️Reporter: "How do you help a player of his caliber through a tough run like this?" 🗣️José Mourinho: "I told him exactly what he needs to hear. I reassured him that he is working hard and I know he will get back to his best form. But football does not wait for anyone. I have to make decisions that are best for Real Madrid, and I will always play the individuals who I feel will thrive most and deliver the best results on the day." 🎙️Reporter: "So where does he go from here?" 🗣️José Mourinho: "If a player is unable to perform to the fullest of their ability on the field, it simply means they have a lot of work to do. But that work is done on the training ground, not on the pitch while a Champions League match is going on. We will help him bounce back, but until he is at the required level, I will continue to trust the players who are ready to give everything."
