​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.Mourinho’s commentsIt’s the first time in ten years that Real Madrid arrives in the half of October without a single injured player. The injured players are the ones who were injured last season: Militao, Rodrygo, Asencio and Mendy. It’s a good story, isn’t it? But you don’t like it.We need time to improve things. And there are things that can improve by making little changes, which we have done and we are doing. As coach I have to look for things to improve that are under our control and we are doing. I am not going to specify what we are doing. And a lot of people without the clinical eye won’t be able to see what we tried to do. But tomorrow we are going to try to do these small fixes. When a Real Madrid players does not fullfill his obligations as a player or as citizen, he won’t be even on the bench; he will be at home. Mbappe will play tomorrow, so I am certain his has not fail to Real Madrid and with his obligations.
