José Mourinho, the new manager of Real Madrid, criticized the physical condition of Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva following a preseason match won 2-1 against Ferencváros. According to Mourinho, Silva is not in good shape after his vacation.
Bernardo Silva was brought into the match at halftime, but his coach stated that he is in "very poor physical condition" and emphasized that he needs to improve his fitness before he can fully contribute to the team.
Mourinho's comments underscore the importance of physical preparation for players arriving at the beginning of the season, indicating that adjustments will be necessary for Silva to return to his best level.
