## Resource

José Mourinho’s back at Real Madrid with a bold, slightly cheeky plan: he’d rather his World Cup-bound stars lose early so they can return sooner — giving him more time to prep before the season starts. With 13 players heading to the tournament and a tight pre-season schedule, Mourinho’s clearly frustrated by the delay — but he’s also pushing back against rumors he’ll clash with the club’s biggest names, insisting his real challenge is managing the less talented players who cause trouble. He’s aiming for a calmer, more focused environment than his first stint — and fans are watching closely to see if he can deliver.
