Mourinho: 5 defenders are not my favorite tactical system, but I want to adapt the system to the existing players

Live bar February 6 , 2019 – Roma drew 0-0 with Genoa in the Serie A that ended the round, with Zaniolo's goal being blown away in the final moments of the match, while Roma adopted a five-back tactical system in the match. Mourinho was interviewed by reporters after the game and talked about why he used the system of five defenders.

Mourinho said: "The five-back system is not my favorite tactical system, but I have to adapt my tactical system to the existing players. In terms of game strategy, we thought in advance that Genoa would pull the defence very far back, they would defend with all their might, and we need players who can open the width on the flanks because there are bigger opportunities on the flanks to open up the situation, as shown in the game. ”

"We didn't do well enough in the first half, in the second half Sharawi came out with Mkhitaryan and we created a lot of chances, but didn't score due to technical reasons or running mistakes. Throughout the game, we had poor quality crosses, but we created a lot of chances. ”
