Mourinho: Zaniolo lacks the confidence to score goals We need more Oliveira

Live bar January 17 – In a previous Serie A match, Roma beat Cagliari 1-0. In an interview with DAZN after the game, Red Wolves coach Jose Mourinho said that Kumbula played well in this game.

On the performance of Cumbra and Gianluca Mancini

Jose Mourinho: "As a coach, in my opinion, Kumbula played the best for the team, he played a good game and it made me very happy because at some point in the season he had difficulties. I've been very negative about the aggression he's shown in training in the past, but he's been very calm, humble, and grown. ”

"I think he's a player who is more suited to the three-back and that's what he's learning. He played a great game, and so did Mancini. The coverage of our two midfielders was also good, against Juve, we didn't make the right move when Dybala scored. We've been working hard and oliveira and Velletu did a great job today. ”

About the team's ability to finish

Mourinho: "Yesterday we had Gian, Tammy Abraham, Zagnolo, Pellegrini train with the goalkeepers, just to give them confidence and train them to make the right choices against the goalkeeper. They scored goals in training but also made mistakes. ”

"It's hard to ask for more from Gian, I ask him to do the most basic things, I can't ask him to stay calm in front of goal. It seems to me that Abraham went through tough times and he couldn't hide his frustrations. Zagnolo lacked the confidence to score and in the first half of the game he had to shoot faster. I hope we can score a lot of goals in a few games because we have the chances and I see that we have created a lot of things. ”

About the current situation of the team

Mourinho: "We were tough against Cagliari, it was very important to win, it wasn't very important as for the score. The players made sacrifices and persevered to the end. The upcoming opponents are in the bottom half of the table, but I remember we lost to Bologna and Venice and we also lost 2 points on Sampdoria. Winning a game like this is not a matter of course, but the players need a win and today we did it and it was very important for us. ”

About new signing Oliveira

Jose Mourinho: "Frankly, we need more Oliveira, with performances, experiences and knowing what to do at certain points in the game. I said before that he is not what Italy calls the 'organizational core', he is not Pirlo, not Pjanic, but he is the player our team needs. ”

"Niles gave us a choice and Karlsdorp sat on the bench without training. If we don't have Niles, the team will be in real trouble. That's why we brought in these two players in the transfer market, at least they can give us more options. ”
