Schuster questions Mourinho's plans
Posted Wednesday, February 01, 2012 by ESPN
Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has criticised the tactics of current boss Jose Mourinho during the recent Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg against Barcelona.
Los Blancos lost 2-1 in the first leg at the Bernabeu and were beaten 4-3 on aggregate.
Schuster, who coached Real during the 2007-08 season, felt some of Mourinho's selection decisions were inexplicable, in particular the inclusion of newly-fit Ricardo Carvalho in central defence and playing Pepe as a midfielder.
He told the Onda Cero radio station: "I think we can all agree that day was horrible. I would like to know what the coach was thinking when he selected this team; a player who had not played for so long and Pepe in the midfield. It was weird."
