<p>There&#8217;s not much more on <a href="https://unamadridista.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/is-this-for-real/">this</a> in the print edition of Marca today, just that the players know that Mou&#8217;s rules cannot be bent, and that what they&#8217;re most disliking at the moment are: the <em>concentraciones</em> before home games, the fact that the training sessions start one hour earlier than normal (at 10h rather than 11h), and that family members have restricted access to Valdebebas.</p>
<p>And in case you&#8217;re wondering, these are the players with children: Dudek, Albiol, Xabi, Arbeloa, Cristiano (I sometimes forget!), Kaká, Marcelo and Carvalho.  As stated earlier, only Jerzy and Ricardo&#8217;s kids are of school age.</p>
<p>On the same page, Marca also compiled a list of Mou quotes that he used to motivate the players.</p>
<p><!--more-->To Di María, during the pre-season friendly against Club América:</p>
<blockquote><p>You, wake up, you&#8217;re making me look bad!</p></blockquote>
<p>To Benzema, during a training session:</p>
<blockquote><p>If it were up to you, I would start training sessions at 12, because at 10 you&#8217;re asleep and at 11 you&#8217;re still asleep.</p></blockquote>
<p>To Sergio Ramos, after the Real Sociedad game:</p>
<blockquote><p>Carvalho, Marcelo and Pepe played very well.</p></blockquote>
<p>To the team, against Real Sociedad:</p>
<blockquote><p>How can a team that was just promoted dominate us like that?  We haven&#8217;t even had a shot at the goal!  I don&#8217;t recognize any of you.</p></blockquote>
<p>To Morata:</p>
<blockquote><p>Get up, in English football they wouldn&#8217;t even blow the whistle for that.</p></blockquote>
<p>Which of these is your favorite &#8216;Mou-ism&#8217;?</p>
