Jose Mourinho: 'Real Madrid players queued up in front of mirror'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reveals that the Real Madrid players used to 'queue up' in front of a mirror before matches during his time in Spain.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that Real Madrid players used to queue up in front of the mirror before matches in Spain.

The Portuguese coach believes that a number of young players are more concerned with getting rich as opposed to focusing on matters on the pitch.

However, the 51-year-old has admitted that he needs to "understand their world" as more youngsters use social media, including websites Twitter and Facebook, to connect with their fans.

Mourinho told Esquire magazine: "The [Madrid] players would be queuing in front of the mirror before the game while the referee waited for them in the tunnel, but that's how society is now.

"Young people care a lot about this - they are twenty something and I am 51, and if I want to work with kids I have to understand their world.

"How can I stop my players on the bus doing, er, what do you call? Twitters and these things? How can I stop them if my daughter and my son do the same? So, I have to adapt to the moment."

The Blues are currently at the top of the Premier League table, four points ahead of second-placed Liverpool.
