Di Special One don finally return to di Santiago Bernabeu wey im don dey miss for many years. Jose Mourinho go take im Real Madrid side face Real Sociedad for Wednesday, and e go be im first home match since e leave di club for 2013.
Remember how im last game for di stadium end? Na June 1, 2013, when Real Madrid beat Osasuna 4-2. But before dat match, e don already know say im go comot. Di whole atmosphere for di stadium na mix feelings. When dem announce im name, plenty whistles pass applause, but Ultras Sur dem still dey chant im name.
Some banners dey thank am, while one other banner write ‘Hasta nunca, Mou’. Mourinho imself no too dey move for dat game. E just sit for bench, no dey give plenty instructions. E no even celebrate when Gonzalo Higuain score di first goal, and e no show any reaction when Karim Benzema score for second half. But Michael Essien run go meet am after e score im own goal, dem celebrate together.
After di final whistle, Mourinho just clap small for di Fondo Sur fans, then e disappear go inside. About 15 minutes later, e come back out for pitch. Ultras Sur give am a plaque, and e pose for photos with dem. Almost 10,000 supporters still dey inside di stadium dat time.
No press conference after dat game. E just leave di stadium without talking to media, and nobody from im coaching staff talk for im place. E bin later go coach Benfica, and last season wen im Benfica side visit Madrid, e bin dey suspended, so e watch di game from inside di team bus. But now, e don come back as Real Madrid manager.
Before dis Wednesday match, Mourinho don urge Real Madrid supporters to get behind im team. E say di focus must dey on di players, not on im homecoming. E no want make di occasion distract dem from di game against Real Sociedad.
