Mourinho: "Van der Vaart is as important as before the signing of Ozil"

The coach of Real Madrid , Portuguese Jose Mourinho, attached no importance to the fact that Rafael Van der Vaart did not celebrate his goal in the friendly against Standard Liege, and said that the Netherlands remains being "as important as Ozil before signing."

"For us it was just a training match. The result was not very important. I do not give importance to the fact that Van der Vaart has not concluded its goal. I did not. It was a friendly match," he said.

Mourinho said that nothing has changed with the German signing of Mesut Ozil: "For me, Van der Vaart is still as important as before the transfer of Ozil. Now, I will always listen the wishes of the players."

With regard to the German player, the coach said "It is a very complete player and creative. You can play multiple positions as demonstrated in the Werder Bremen and we will come in handy for game creation."

However, it does not close the chapter of signings: "The club has made many efforts to complete the template and I am very grateful, but a coach always wants more. The interest in Romelu Lukaku of Anderlecht, has passed. Your father is very intelligent and will not let his son go now. We'll see next season. "
