Thomas Longero finally stated that, at the root of the problem, Mourinho doesn't like Benzema. He wants to bring in a forward not to find a backup for Benzema, but to replace Benzema with a newcomer.
Of course, even with Hamburg's firm stance, Van Nistelrooy hasn't conceded. The Netherlands forward still holds hope of persuading Hamburg to allow him to fulfill his dream of joining Real Madrid once again.
In such circumstances, Van Nistelrooy tries his best not to offend or anger the Hamburg Club. On Tuesday, he attended the team's training session punctually, and the rumored "training strike rebellion" did not occur.
Van Nistelrooy and his agent Roger Lindsay have carefully prepared a strategy that does not involve a "rebellion." In any case, both Van Nistelrooy and his agent hope to resolve the relevant issues amicably.
Lindsay has been by Van Nistelrooy's side these days and will not leave Hamburg at least until Thursday.
