I’ll Die For Jose Mourinho – Diomande

Real Madrid forward Yan Diomande has opened up about his dream move to the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Revealing the intense dedication he feels towards Jose Mourinho, Diomande admitted that he was stunned when the legendary coach personally contacted him to seal the deal.

The young winger added that he was never going to turn down the opportunity to play for Los Blancos once the opportunity arose.

His words, “It was like a dream because there is no bigger club.

From the moment I found out, I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t believe it. I spoke with Juni [Calafat] and then I spoke with the coach. I was surprised because he spoke French.

I am proud and happy because I have made my dream come true.”

Mourinho got up at 5 in the morning to talk to me. That means he is important. When Madrid calls you, you can’t say no, so I said: ‘If they want me, that’s where I’ll be’.

As soon as I arrived, he told me: ‘I promised you that you were going to be part of my team, and here you are.’ And I told him: ‘I’m happy to work with you because you are the best.’ I can learn a lot from him; he is the right coach to continue my development. I am prepared to die for him.

No, I didn’t ask for anyone. I came in without demanding a single player, having taken a good look at the squad and knowing exactly what I wanted to happen.

Finding a wide player [like Diomande] who is quick, aggressive, and can play on both flanks isn’t easy, it’s incredibly tough.

Add to that the fact that he’s young, has room to develop, and has many years ahead of him at Real Madrid… when that opportunity came up, I didn’t want to get into whether he cost 120, 80, 40, or 20 [million].”
