The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Ezek, Valyrian Steel, Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack.
4-1The team struggled a bit in the first half, but in the end it was a good win.
Mou commented about the struggles in the fist half:
Real Sociedad were well positioned, surely a very good coach. They a big distance between their two CBs, very difficult to press them in the way we prepare the game. It was one of these games I’d like to have had the hydration break; it would have been perfect. So, we waited for the break and adjusted a couple of things and we scored 4 goals in the second half, but it could have 5 or 6. But it would have been unfair to the Real Sociedad, as they made a very good first half.
He also said he liked the team’s tranquility when things were not going so well in the first half.
In a question about Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham, he praised the whole team:
When team struggles to create, Kylian has a great quality; he is not only a player who scores goal; he is not the typical forward who waits the team offensive game to score. When he goes deep, he makes things more dynamic and then he does a one-two with Jude and goes in the front of the goal. He has a lot of quality.
Our CBs have been very dominant, Bernardo and Fede worked incredibly today and Jude worked and created. I like it a lot. I like it a lot the second half, but also like the tranquility facing difficulty in the first half.
Mou also commented about the difficult preseason:
I am liking what we are doing, considering the hard preseason. There are players that have 39 training sessions, but others like Jude, Cucurella and Diomande have only 6 or 7. There are players with 10, others with 15…It’s a very atypical season. It’s not easy to make the team grow more than we already doing.
