Roma was reversed 3-4 by Juve, and after the game was accepted, Roma coach Jose Mourinho also held a regular post-match press conference, at which Mourinho answered two questions from reporters and directly expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the players, while suggesting that the team has an official announcement next week, not much to say and directly look at the content:
You can't criticize the efforts of the players, but you were 3-1 at one point, what happened?
Mourinho said: "It's unfortunate that I can criticize them, I don't want to say who alone, but I can criticize them. We had full control of the game in the first seventy minutes, in the first half and the second half we were very good tactically and organizationally, we were good in the 70 minutes, but then we collapsed. The goal that made the score 3-2 was a big blow to us. Because Gian played a mental game, he blocked Cuadrado's attack, and then I replaced him, and the player who came off the bench immediately made a mistake. For a team with a strong personality and attitude, there is no problem at all when you lead with a score of 3-2, 3-2 is a different score, which is nothing wrong with me, but not for the players. I see fragile mentalities, fears and worries spreading. That happened last season and this season, and last year we didn't win a strong conversation and the game against Milan wasn't just a matter of performance on both sides. But, I just want to say that today's referee was very fair, I didn't see the picture at the time of the penalty, but I will watch, overall, he was great today. When things get bad on number ten, the lads on my team will come forward, which means they are all good lads. Of course, it's one thing to be mentally fragile, it's one thing to have a bad personality, and in my dressing room, there's a good bunch of guys. If the game ends in 70 minutes, it will be a good game. But, after that, you also saw our limitations, Niles just came to the team and the other one will come next week (next week there is an official announcement?). Zaniolo, Sharawi, Kasdorp, Mancini are not there, I'm a little unaccustomed to that, but I'll help the players develop. 】
Do you think that your personality is enough to solve Rome's problems?
Mourinho said: "No, I never thought of it that way. I think it might be a little easier, though. From the performances in the first seventy minutes of tonight and the performances in other games, I saw our talent and potential. However, teams can't always manage their emotions and games, even some players who play regularly. I have a three-year contract with Roma and I need the help of everyone at the club and we will get to the level we want. We've already agreed to go on loan for two players, one for Niles and the other for midfielders, and I think he'll be here next week. He brings a different personality and is used to taking responsibility. Being fifth to seventh in the league is too easy for some people, it's a comfort zone and we have to force ourselves out of that zone. Like I said to the players after the game against Milan, they need to adapt to my mentality, not that I have to adapt to their mentality. 】
Well, the content of the Mourinho conference will be shared here, see you tomorrow!
