Borja Mayoral opened fire on his former coach José Mourinho, confirming that the Portuguese does not accept defeat and that he made inappropriate statements inside the dressing room that he and his teammates did not like.

The current Getafe striker's comments came during an interview with the Spanish newspaper 'Marca', in which he recalled his memories of working under Mourinho at Real Madrid.

Despite his young age, Mayoral had the opportunity to train under coaches of the caliber of Zinedine Zidane and José Mourinho, and he confirmed that he learned a lot from the Portuguese coach, but he did not hide his discomfort with some of his actions.

Mayoral said: 'What I liked most about Mourinho were his training sessions; they were very competitive and fun. Even though my situation was not ideal, I enjoyed working with him.'

He added: 'Over time, he also surprised me through his conversations with me and what he said to me before some matches. I felt he appreciated my work. I remember he once told me that I deserved to play earlier, and he praised me a lot in one of his press conferences. I will never forget that.'

He continued: 'He was very friendly and talked a lot with the Spaniards like Gonzalo Villar and Carles Pérez about his time at Real Madrid. And since I am curious by nature, I took the opportunity to ask him a lot about that period.'

On the negative side, Mayoral concluded: 'What bothers me most about Mourinho is his inability to accept defeat. He made bad statements inside the dressing room that I did not like. They were not directed only at me but also at my teammates. I understand that he is a very competitive person and that we all might say things in a moment of anger, but respect must always come first.'
