Roberto Gomez's remarks on the "Tribes" program largely revolved around the "new Mourinho." The journalist praised the changes the Portuguese coach has shown since returning to Real Madrid, particularly highlighting his ability to speak out publicly, avoid conflict, and act as a key voice for the club.
“What has Mourinho changed? Yes, it has been from day one,” said Roberto Gomez. In the journalist's view, the coach has shown “complete empathy” for the president, the squad, and in his public statements. He believes this shift has clearly benefited Real Madrid at the start of this phase.
"My favorite Real Madrid team right now is Mourinho."
Roberto Gomez was very clear when discussing the most important figure at Real Madrid right now. "For me, the person I like most at Real Madrid right now is Mourinho," he stated. Rather than focusing on player form, new signings, or overall performance, the journalist emphasized the manager.
His analysis is based on the idea that Mourinho has become the club's true voice. "The coach now attends three or four events a week, sometimes even six. He is the club's spokesperson," Roberto explained. He particularly acknowledged that Mourinho has almost "answered all the questions."
Club spokesperson
According to Roberto Gomez, this role is even more important given that other Real Madrid executives rarely make public appearances. "When the president, general manager, manager, or sporting director rarely speak up, it's Mourinho who gets to speak," he pointed out.
The journalist believes the Portuguese manager handled the role very well. "I think all his arrangements were excellent," he said. He then moved on to more sensitive topics, such as Mourinho's attitude when he reunited with Manuel Pellegrini, with whom he had a history of conflict early in his tenure at Old Trafford.
"He did the job of being a spokesperson the best."
Roberto Gomez insists that Mourinho is bringing stability to Real Madrid with his words. "Right now, the best thing about Real Madrid, besides goals, the club's current state, stability, and all of that, is Mourinho," he said.
The reporter also mentioned that Carlo Ancelotti "did a fantastic job" and Xabi Alonso had a unique style during his coaching career, but he placed Mourinho in a key position for the club at present: "Mourinho is the best person to be the club's spokesperson in every aspect."
Ceuta, Ceballos and Julián Álvarez
Roberto Gomez's remarks also mentioned other names. The journalist wanted to praise Luis de la Fuente for bringing the World Cup to Ceuta, calling it "brilliant" and believing that the support for the people of Ceuta was "big news, worthy of the front page."
Furthermore, he praised Ceballos ahead of Betis' match against Real Madrid, describing him as a "top player" and "an extremely good player." He also spoke about the penalty Real Sociedad requested against Celta Vigo and again mentioned Julian Alvarez, insisting that "the most important thing is that he will stay at Atletico Madrid."
However, the core of his analysis of football remains Mourinho. In Roberto Gomez's view, the Portuguese coach has changed his way of speaking, taking on the role of the club's voice and temporarily becoming Real Madrid's most outstanding figure.
