Mourinho: I met Motta at Barcelona and wanted to fight for other goals but was happy to coach Roma

Live Bar December 12 news On December 14, at 3:45 a.m. Beijing time, Roma will play Spezia at home. Roma boss Jose Mourinho attended the pre-match press conference.

<b>What memories do you have of Motta? </b>

"People think I only met Motta in inter's treble season, but we met at Barca. I met Motta on team B at the time, and I had a lot of fond memories of him. He's a player in my system and a lot of the players I've coached before end up in managerial positions like him, Stankovic and Zivo. But this time we have become opponents, and we will reminisce about the past after the game. ”

<b>Will the striker also be the Abraham-Mayoral combination? </b>

"They played well and then we have a lot of players who will miss this game, Shomurodov and Gian can also play, and Abraham Mayoral is an option. They scored some goals, and for a striker he has to score goals, have good stats, which is important for them to build their confidence. ”

'Shomurodov is more athletic, Mayoral needs more possession under his feet and is stronger in the box, Tammy Tammy can be with both of them, he has his own way of playing with the ball and without the ball."

<b>If you continue the three-centre-back system, have you found the right players to replace Karlsdorp and Vigna? </b>

"It's really difficult, and we don't have many options for playing four at the moment, because Zagnolo, Perez, Sharavi can't play. Shomurodov can pull down the side, but that's not where he's best at it. We don't have many ending plans, and if we continue to play at three centre-backs, we won't find the right players to replace Karlsdorp and Vigna. ”

<b>Winter window you are the first choice to reinforce the midfield? </b>

"I would like to take this opportunity to stress that I am not very sorry about our summer window transfer work and it is not that the club did not make reinforcements in midfield as I requested. I also regret that we were very passive because of the player's injury. From the beginning, I wanted to send the strongest squad, but it backfired. I knew from the beginning that everything was going to be difficult and that in the winter window we would be able to bring in reinforcements, but not a particularly large investment, and we would think more about the balance of the squad. We are not going to change the overall approach and there is no disagreement between me and the club. We will only make adjustments where there is a real need for replenishment. When you look at our team, you see Spinazzola, Pellegrini, Perez, Sharawi and others, they're all great players, they just can't play for a while. We have two or three positions that need to be improved, the transfer thing will come later, we have three games before January and we are trying to get as many points as possible. ”

<b>Will the three-centre-back system be a decisive change? </b>

"I like to study tactics, we have time to build a tactical culture, and I also choose the tactics that are best for us based on the players we have. I'm very good at doing what I can to discover the best in the players. As long as there are the right players, I don't mind using the three-centre-back system. In Serie A, most of the strong teams play in the three-centre-back system, and unfortunately we have been dealing with emergencies for the first six months, rather than focusing on team building. I also hope there are no injuries, but we need to face the status quo. There are three more games to play as well as possible, and then players like Spinazzola, Pellegrini, Perez, Sharawi and the like will return in January. ”

<b>Can young player Jian play in this game? </b>

"Yes, he trained with us for three days and therefore will be in the squad."

<b>How do you stabilize the mentality of the team's bench players? </b>

"It depends on how you define the substitute players. If you're talking about young and inexperienced players, all they have to do is work hard and wait for opportunities. Against Inter we had 8 substitutes who were U21 and they were not ready for Serie A. Serie A is not comparable to Ligue 1 and Portuguese Premier League. For example, in the match against CSKA Sofia, our second goal was due to Dabbo's lack of experience. Look at the bench for Chinese meters against Inter: Lautaro, Correa, Vidal, Damian and many more. But I like to help young people, as long as they are willing to work hard and learn lessons. Making mistakes is part of growing up. I want to fight for other goals, but I'm excited to coach Roma (Mi piacerebbe lottare per altri obiettivi, ma sono molto contento di stare qui). ”

<b>Why are Roma the team with the most cards in Serie A? </b>

'It's best to talk about another statistic we're number one: we've got the most shots from a Serie A team.
