"Mesut has made great progress and getting stronger every day. He joined us in the final days of preseason, but has adapted to his new environment very well.

Mourinho has also discussed the tactical plans of Madrid and stressed that it is not training you play, but a way to deal with tactical instructions to players.
"The training we use is not important. This is how you interpret tactical advice. Sometimes it is better to play with two strikers and sometimes it's better to play without a striker from Real. "
