Jose Mourinho is completely contradicting himself with his latest midfield claim

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho wants his midfielders to be midfielders. He revealed this in a press conference before the Sevilla match on Sunday. He was asked about what he expects his midfielders to do when they're on the pitch, and his answer was very contradictory to what his midfielders actually do when they end up playing.

He said, "I ask midfielders to be midfielders. I ask them to do the job a midfielder does. One who only defends is limited. If they only attack, it is better to play on the wings or as a number 10.

It is a very difficult position to play. To be top, you need a different kind of quality.” Mourinho's words themselves are not wrong at all.
