Mourinho with Real Madrid international players in Euro 2012

Jose Mourinho told the website of Real Madrid that is "a must" for him to be with his players "in a special moment for them" such as the Eurocup 2012, and thus he will see the first game in the tournament of Germany, Spain and Portugal. Remember that the Portuguese coach will attend the tournament to see the evolution of some interesting players for the summer market.

"I think this is a must for me the fact of being next to my players in a special moment for them. I wish good luck to all in an important tournament that I value in a special way, not only for its sporting significance and competitive, but especially for the social and cultural significance acquired in each of the countries represented by their teams", said the coach of Real Madrid. "I am Portuguese and I support my country, but always will support my players" said Mourinho, who on Saturday will see the match between Germany and Portugal and on Sunday the match between Spain and Italy.

The Portuguese coach will only lose the France's debut on Monday 11, where Karim Benzema plays for his national team, because that day Mourinho will travel to Singapore on business. There are eleven Real Madrid players who represent their countries in the Euro 2012.
