Real Madrid players want to return from the World Cup sooner

Jose Mourinho wants Real Madrid footballers to finish the 2026 World Cup as early as possible. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the Portuguese coach, he would prefer the players to take a break and return to the club's pre-season training camp sooner rather than stay long in the tournament with their national teams. Mourinho said on the Beast Mode On podcast that he wants Real Madrid players to leave the World Cup early and go on vacation because he wants them to return to the pre-season training camp as soon as possible.

A number of Real Madrid's key footballers are defending the honor of their national teams at the World Cup. These include Jude Bellingham from England, Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni from France, Antonio Rüdiger from Germany, Federico Valverde from Uruguay, and Thibaut Courtois from Belgium.

In addition, Real Madrid's new signings Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konaté, Denzel Dumfries, and Bernardo Silva are also participating in the World Cup. Of course, the coach's remarks were made in jest.

However, there is a serious meaning behind his words. Players who spend a long time at the World Cup have less time to rest and prepare for the new season.

That is why the Portuguese specialist wants to see all the players of the team at the pre-season training camp as early as possible.
