Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho admitted his team does not know how to control matches ahead of Sunday’s La Liga derby clash against Atletico Madrid. Before the first major test of Mourinho’s second spell at the helm, Los Blancos have shown attacking dynamism the coach called “frenetic”, but the Portuguese veteran acknowledged his team cannot shut the door on opponents.
Madrid trail unbeaten champions Barcelona at the top of the table by three points, after losing one of their six opening games and winning the other five, with Atletico third. However, they needed late strikes by back-up striker Carlos Espi to secure wins at Espanyol and Elche to cling to Barcelona’s tail.
