Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho was unconcerned with the wayward shooting of his expensive attackers in Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League victory over and insisted the goals would soon flow.
Starting their quest for a tenth European title after failing to reach the last eight in the past six seasons, Real peppered the Ajax goal with 36 shots at the Bernabeu but only Gonzalo Higuain marked his name on the scoresheet after Real's opener was credited as an own goal.
Mourinho's Portuguese compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina winger Angel Di Maria were especially profligate and the former, the world's most expensive player, was whistled by some fans.
Mourinho did not hide his frustration on the touchline, stalking up and down his technical area, clutching his head in his hands and at one point kicking out at the dugout. He was more philosophical after the match.
"I would be worried if we only had two shots or if (goalkeeper Iker) Casillas had been the best player on the pitch but he has hardly touched the ball in the last three matches," Mourinho told a news conference.
"It can happen that in a match when you play badly you score three goals and other times you can do everything on the pitch but score. The goals will come."
