Real Madrid's new coach Jose Mourinho is training the squad hard, the Spanish club's Brazilian defender Marcelo said yesterday. "Mourinho makes sure that we know we cannot ever relax during training and we are very happy with him," the 22-year-old told a news conference.

"We train aggressively and with everything we've got. In order to win we must suffer in training. Our goal has always been to win titles and this season is no different. We train hard to win titles.

"Mourinho is a good person. He speaks to all of us and doesn't give anyone preferential treatment," he added.
The squad started training under Mourinho's guidance on Friday although the bulk of the team is still on leave after the World Cup.
