“A lot of people were taking a lot of sh*t to perform”

Jese Rodriguez has decided to make headlines in the world of football. The one-time La Fábrica gem has spoken on the 'Batmowli' program of youtuber 'Mowlihawk' about possible cases of doping in an undetermined past.
“There were a lot of people who took a lot of sh*t to perform. That used to be not as controlled as it is now. I'm not criticising or judging anyone, but it was like that. What happened is that maybe it didn't come out publicly,” said Jese on the matter.
Another of the topics discussed was his time at Real Madrid. He was called to lead the new generation, but a serious injury caused his stagnation. Despite this, he has great memories of his time at the 'Merengues'.
“I spent only two years in the reserve team. I made my debut at 16, finished that season, started the next one, and we were promoted to the second division. I was going to be promoted, but Florentino Perez said: 'Let him play another year in the second division because he's almost a professional'. And the following year I was in the first team. The following year I was at Las Palmas and Karanka called me to tell me if I was ready to go to the preseason. Mourinho had just arrived and Karanka told him: 'We have to take him'. I made my debut against Real. Cristiano came off and I came on. At that moment I wanted to give my all” he said.
It was Mourinho who gave him his debut. Jese has great memories of the Portuguese coach: “He's a great coach. Smart and strategic. You can tell he has a lot of street. But he clashed with some players because he had a lot of character. I had a couple of episodes of discussion, but as a player-coach, with no disrespect, but he was a guy who liked to get into a confrontation. He was a controversial guy, but he's a good guy.
Another of the coaches he worked with was Carlo Ancelotti: “I played and Bale didn't. He cost 120 million. Ancelotti had the balls to put him on the bench and play me. Another coach might not have done that. Florentino really liked the fact that the youth academy players solved the games for him. Yes, there were long faces with Bale, but what can he tell me if he doesn't know how to talk”.
