Philosophy of play

New Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has sent a potential warning to fans of the Spanish giants by claiming the teams he has coached do not reach their peak until his second season in charge. "The process of assimilation means it is only really in the second season that a team has acquired the right systems and a philosophy of play," said the 47-year-old Portuguese, who led Inter to the Champions League triumph last season before signing a four-year deal with Real.
