“Lots of good players. Lots of good players in Germany, in England, even in the Championship. The players are coming and the players have quality. You can find different qualities in the players. It’s not like everyone is a technical, creative player like the Chelsea boy [Christian Pulisic]. It’s not like everyone is physical. I think there are quite a mixture of qualities… You have the players to have a very interesting national team,” Mourinho said.
Mourinho has always talked about his plan to manage in Major League Soccer one day and his affinity for taking teams to Los Angeles as a base for preseason training (particularly the Beverley Hills area) should be noted.
He also had this to say about MLS, and said he watches it when he can.
“I know that you have in this moment a lot of foreign players coming from Central American countries and others. But there are still good domestic players coming and you give them the opportunity,” Mourinho said. “The example of the Canadian boy [Alphonso Davies] at Bayern is the kind of situation that opens the eyes to European scouts. In this moment, European scouts, they have an eye on MLS. I promise you that. People now, they believe they can scout and they can find good players in there. So the production is very positive.”
