The 50-year-old has challenged the Blaugrana to teach his
side a "lesson" in the game when they clash on Tuesday, as opposed to
complaining about officials
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho believes Barcelona should
focus on football rather than talking about the referees ahead of the
second-leg Copa del Rey clash at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona interim coach Jordi Roura voiced his
reservations over the appointment of Alberto Undiano Mallecano as the referee
for the Clasico, and the Blancos trainer feels they should concentrate on the
game itself.
"I prefer to stay with the lessons we have received
in the past from Barcelona. Lessons in sportsmanship, how to be in football.
Not talking about the referees, not surrounding them, trying to get opponents
booked," he sarcastically told reporters.
"And, of course, giving lessons on how to play
football, they do that very well. They would be well advised if they humbly followed
that line."
The former Chelsea boss is looking forward to the
encounter as his side look to rescue their season with a Copa triumph.
"These are the games we like to play and I like
going into with the players. We prefer games this dimension and this
difficulty."
Brazilian star Kaka starred in Madrid's 2-1 victory at
Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday, but Mourinho is not sure yet if the former AC
Milan star will make an appearance.
"I do not know. Not that I would not want to say it.
I have not thought of it. Normally I do not say it. This time I do not know.
"
