Real Madrid : Mourinho voit déjà très grand pour le duo Mbappé–Vinicius
José Mourinho n’a pas caché son enthousiasme devant les premières promesses du tandem formé par Kylian Mbappé et Vinicius Jr au Real Madrid. Pour le technicien portugais, la force de cette association ne repose pas uniquement sur le talent hors norme des deux attaquants. Elle tient aussi à la complicité qui semble déjà s’installer entre eux, un élément qui pourrait permettre aux deux stars madrilènes de franchir encore un cap. afnews.co.za
« Ce n’est pas 2 + 9, mais 11 »
Interrogé sur leur marge de progression avant la rencontre face à Malaga, Mourinho a surtout insisté sur un ingrédient qu’il juge essentiel : l’alchimie humaine. Selon lui, Mbappé et Vinicius disposent non seulement d’une qualité individuelle exceptionnelle, mais également d’une véritable connexion basée sur l’empathie, l’amitié et la volonté de jouer ensemble. Une complémentarité qui pourrait transformer leur association en une arme particulièrement difficile à contenir.
Une connexion qui peut encore faire des ravages
Le Portugais estime ainsi que cette relation peut pousser les deux joueurs à se dépasser mutuellement. Quelques semaines seulement après le début de leur collaboration, il se montre déjà particulièrement optimiste quant à leur évolution. Son raisonnement est simple : lorsque deux joueurs aussi talentueux parviennent à combiner qualité, confiance et complémentarité, leur potentiel collectif devient supérieur à la simple addition de leurs individualités. Pour le Real Madrid, c’est évidemment une perspective particulièrement séduisante.

‘We have to take our chances,’ says Springbok captain Siya Kolisi
The Springboks are aiming for a much more clinical showing when they face the All Blacks in the second Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Test at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening (kick-off 5:10pm).
The Boks went down in the opener at Ellis Park last weekend, 33-16, after the All Blacks produced a finishing clinic, as they ran in five tries to one despite having less 22m entries than the home side.
Captain Siya Kolisi, who is back from injury to lead the side on Saturday, highlighted the importance of converting the Boks’ dominance.
“It was a big scoreline, but we looked at what we missed, all the opportunities. If we had converted those, maybe things would have been different,” said Kolisi at the captain’s press conference on Friday afternoon.
“We’re lucky to have the experience (of playing difficult games), but experience means nothing if you don’t learn from the mistakes that you made the week before.
“If we create as many opportunities as we did last week, we must take as many of them as possible. That is the biggest factor for me from last week. The All Blacks didn’t have many, but they took their chances when they were there.
“And I think that’s the important thing. The amount of dominance we had in the first half, and we had nothing to really show for it, that is the most important thing (to fix). It’s a new game.”
Added pressure
Adding pressure to the match is that it is a must-win if the Boks still want to harbour hopes of winning the series, as a loss would mean they would only be playing for a draw over the final two matches.
However, Kolisi said they had plenty experience of playing must-win games and were confident of bouncing back.
“It’s important, it’s very important, and they are all important (every game from here on). We know this is a four-game series. It is my first time in a four-match series, we’ve heard of them and know they have been played before but this is a first as far as playing in one is concerned,” explained Kolisi.
“But we have all been in this position before and we know how to handle it. We were 1-0 down against the (British & Irish) Lions, we lost the opening game of the 2019 World Cup, and we came back and were successful.
“Having done it before does inspire you with confidence. We know what to do and we know a big part of the battle is in the mind. We know our minds and what that is capable of, but the most important thing is what we do on the field.”

Proteas confident of bouncing back against Zimbabwe
Big-hitting batter Dewald Brevis believes the Proteas can shake off a shock defeat to Namibia as they aim to bounce back against Zimbabwe in their second match of the T20 International tri-series in Windhoek on Saturday (2pm start).
Represented by an under-strength team, with some first-choice stars being rested, the SA side were handed an 18-run defeat by the hosts on Friday.
“It’s a T20 cricket game and things like that happen, so we just need to play a bit better in all three phases of the game, and I’ve got full faith and trust in the boys.” Brevis said.
Putting up a fight
Brevis hit 75 runs off 50 deliveries, keeping his team in the hunt, but he was dismissed with two overs left in the Proteas’ run chase and they lost momentum at the death.
And though the top-order batter was disappointed he couldn’t stay at the crease until the last ball, he was pleased to have put up a fight on an “up and down” wicket.
“It’s nice to be out there and change momentum. It’s just about being true to yourself and being an original person, and I’ve really been focusing on that,” he said.
Gearing up for Zimbabwe clash
South Africa had never lost to Zimbabwe in a T20 game, and Brevis believed they would be able to recover their campaign as they targeted a spot in next week’s T20 tri-series final.
“The next game will definitely be a fresh game. It’s a new day and there are new, exciting things that will happen,” he said.
“We can just be very clear and everyone needs to raise their hands and have that will to perform, and whatever lies ahead of us, I know there are a lot of fighters in our team and we will play as a unit. It will be exciting to see what happens.”
