Incoming Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho insists his team will entertain fans next season.

Mourinho's Treble winning Inter Milan has been branded defensive by critics.

But responding to a question about how Madrid fans want to win, obtain titles but also see good football, Mourinho told AS: "Me as well, let them have no doubt about that."

"My Madrid will always play well, attack and will be winners. However, there will be times when we will have to face the game in a different manner."

"Having said that, my team always goes out on the pitch with a clear idea: to win. And if we are winning 3-1 and we only have 10 players on the pitch, then my players will have to sit back to defend. That's the way it is."

"It's very difficult during 90 minutes to always be better than your opponent. There's always a time in which you need to be a team and make sacrifices."

He added: "It will be a balanced team. A team that plays to win titles must be aware of its virtues and its defects and has to work as a unit."

"A team that wants to win titles has to win games and a team that wants to win games has to play well."

"We will be a side with its own identity, we will not imitate anybody. The identity will be set by the players and me."

"For this we will have to work very hard."
