"Real" Madrid coach didn't have to wait long to respond to the club's defender Pepe. Jose Mourinho stated that the defender has a problem, and its name is Raphael Varane. Just recently, Pepe expressed his opinion about Iker Casillas, who is currently the backup to Diego Lopez. The Portuguese player stated a few days ago that Mourinho should show more respect to the Spaniard. "Pepe's comment? Why did he say that, it's very easy to predict. Pepe currently has a problem, and his name is Raphael Varane," stated The Special One. Indeed, the 31-year-old defender of the Portuguese national team has lost his place in the starting lineup when the coach gave a chance to the young Frenchman. The 50-year-old coach once again explained his decision to choose former "Villarreal" goalkeeper Diego Lopez for the goalkeeper position. "As a goalkeeper, I prefer Lopez over Casillas. This is not a personal decision, as there is no animosity between me and Iker," added J. Mourinho.
