"Real" coach Jose Mourinho claims that it is difficult for players from Portugal to adapt to Madrid. "I'm not going to buy more of my compatriots into the team until I am one hundred percent convinced of their abilities. It's very, very difficult to adapt here and a footballer must be a grown man like Cristiano Ronaldo or Pepe, otherwise it will not be easy," Mourinho said. The coach commented on Portuguese player F.Coentrao's game against his former team "Benfica". "It was very important for him to visit Lisbon. Here the defender received applause, unlike in Madrid."
