Since he took over at Real Madrid he's made 38 substitutions at the break, the latest of
which were against Dortmund. He took Higuaín - injured - and Modric off, and brought on
Callejón and Essien.
Mou doesn't look at his watch when he doesn't like something. Halftime has become a good
time to make changes if they are needed. He’s done it nine times this season, although twice
he was forced to due to injuries.
Callejón, Higuaín, Álex Fernández, Kaká and Özil - twice - have been substituted at
halftime. It’s happened to the German against both Sevilla and Deportivo de La Coruña.
Twice, Mourinho has even made all three changes at the break, most notably in last
season's Spanish Cup game against Malaga. Pellegrini's men were winning 2-0 at the break.
Mou brought on Özil, Khedira and Benzema, taking off Callejón, Kaká and Arbeloa.
Rejuvenated by the changes, Real Madrid came back to win 3-2.
He also made all three changes at the break against Dinamo Zagreb.
However, Mou's record for the quickest tactical change took place last season during Real
Madrid's game against Villarreal: he substituted Lass in the 28th minute for Callejón.
