Fans tweeted that the particular Rondo session was the “worst thing” they’d ever seen, as players seemed to show a lack of energy or effort, with some users saying that the Portuguese manager was behind a second-rate session less than two weeks before the 2018/2019 Premier League campaign kicks off.
That's the worst I've ever seen

It literally looks like we haven’t trained this in 2 years…

And then you wonder why Jose is giving out about the quality he has on tour and wanting more players. An under 10 team would do a better rondo than these muppets 🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂 https://t.co/TEjU7LnNYf

Ahead of the game against Real Madrid on August 1, Mourinho revealed that he wanted to sign two more players, with ESPN reporting that the manager was eyeing getting a center-back and a right-winger before the August 9 transfer deadline. He has already signed midfielder Fred, right-back Diogo Dalot and goalkeeper Lee Grant for a total of 68 million pounds.
