Intro:

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said his side need to continue their winning habit when they face Real Betis in the Spanish Liga on Saturday, and continue their march towards the championship.

Madrid lead closest rivals Barcelona by 10 points in the race for the title, but Mourinho told a news conference on Friday that his team need to keep mounting victories because "Barca" will finish the season strongly.

SUPER CAPTION: Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid coach:

"Men are animals of habits and that's a great habit: win and win and win and have the habit of being strong and fight hard to try to keep that period of victories long and long and long. If possible, long enough to give you a good position in the League. And we know that Betis is a hard match. they are the kind of team with enough quality not just technical but also by the mental point of view, the way they approach the match... I think they are a strong side".

SOUNDBITE (Spanish)

SUPER CAPTION: Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid coach:

I want to think that we are going to win (the Liga), but if we don't win it will be because Barcelona will have a spectacular final phase of the championship and because we will not have been able to keep the same rhythm, the same quality, the same determination and the same ambition we have had so far".
