Jose Mourinho's reveals plan to strengthen Real Madrid as Liverpool and Chelsea are braced for raids

Badge of honour: Mourinho faces the mediaJose Mourinho admitted he needed three or four players to build Real Madrid in his image after being officially unveiled at the Bernabeu.However, after days of talking up the qualities of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, the former Chelsea boss suddenly became coy about who was on his shopping list.'I don't like to talk about players because their prices will go up if I do,' said Mourinho. 'The club is happy with the roster of last season and so am I. We don't need major changes.'We need three or four players for the coach to have more possibilities to get closer to my ideal of a team.'But I don't think it's going to be a summer with a lot of changes. I think it will be a more calm summer with all the focus on the World Cup.'Improving central midfield seems to be a priority and Gerrard has been pinpointed as the most achievable signing. It would be difficult to prise Lampard from Chelsea just two years after the England midfielder snubbed Mourinho's Inter Milan and signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge. It is expected to be the 31-year-old's last big deal.

Luckily, I've had a beautiful career and it makes me proud to have come here.'And underlining his pragmatic approach, Mourinho indicated he would put glory ahead of aesthetics, saying: 'The beauty is not so much to train or play at Real, but to win at Real Madrid.Winner: Ronaldo impressed in his first season with Real Madrid'I think four years of contract is enough to win, to build a strong team for the present and the future.'If we work as a group, it's not difficult to get results. I want this group to have an identity, to win everything. The strength of my team is always the team and not the individuals.'Cristiano Ronaldo is an incredible player not only for Real but for the whole of football.
