Indeed. He was right to complain about the lack of effort. Only he did it to the press. And then complained about being ill treated by press. Ironic.
Public shaming of players is not unusual and sometimes it is in order when players talk shit and do nothing. He was treated ill by the press for the self destructive phase he went through and his dealings with Casillas and Ramos.
Weird enough, now that Casillas is away, Mourinho seems to have controlled the team again? But hasn't resorted to the shit Casillas and Ramos were against in the first place? Do both parties learn here?
Either way, Diego Lopez is boss, he organizes the defence really well. Communication is key and when Casillas was in his early 20s he was criticized for his communication so maybe it is something he developed just not really well? Or something Lopez is better at?
