Roma won 1-0 in Serie A against Sampdoria, the team ushered in ten rounds of unbeaten league, and after the end of this game, Mourinho routinely held a post-match press conference, and at the press conference, Mourinho answered five questions from reporters and once again ridiculed the media, not much to say, directly look at the content:
First, after the derby, how important is it for you to win another victory?
Mourinho said: "It's a tough game, it's always difficult to play here. Giampaolo's team is always well organised and playing against them is no easy task. I have to say that there is a tradition in Rome that if you win a derby, it's heaven, and if you lose a derby it's hell. We were able to maintain a good defense, which is important. It was a tough game, but we achieved our goal: three points. As for the winning goal, in my opinion, if it were under any of the other managers, people would say it was an amazing goal from the back. But it's hard to admit that right now. In the second half, I liked the attitude of the players very much, but I was not very happy with our slight lack of ambition, although we controlled the game, but if we scored one more goal, then the game would be over. 】
Second, today Christant has once again become a quick-switching tactical role, and you seem to have used this choice many times to quickly transfer the ball from one side to the other side, in order to create trouble for the opponent.
Mourinho said: "I will give you a joke, this player is what you media say every day I don't want, I want to sell the player, yes, I don't like it, I will sell him next year. Mourinho is making fun of journalists.
Mkhitaryan is a player you are going to renew, what role did you play in it?
Mourinho said: "He has an amazing season and I want him to stay here, he wants to stay. Pinto and the boss also want him to stay, and Laiola (the player's agent) wants him to be happy, so if Mkhitaryan wants to stay, then Rayola will help him fulfill his wish. 】
Fourth, why did you reduce the intensity in the final stage of the competition? Have you started thinking about the European Cup midweek?
Mourinho said: "No, I don't think so, but we know the way Samp plays and we need to change the tactics of the game and look for free men on the wing. Thanks to Mkhitaryan and Christant, we did a very good job. I don't think people have started thinking about Thursday's game anymore. In fact, they changed their system, they played wider and deeper. It makes it hard for Tammy Abraham to put pressure on them, and I think we need fresh forces, so Shomurodov came out and he did well, and Abraham was a little tired. In the 30 or 35 minutes of the second half, we were in control, but we didn't score extra. Our centre-backs are doing a good job, they are rock solid. I hope Samp can finish the season well. Next season we can still come to this great stadium and continue playing in front of their lovely fans. (Mourinho means to hope that the opponent will succeed in relegation)]
5. What do you think after the European Cup is drawn to Hakata?
Mourinho said: "The first thing that comes to my mind is when you get to the quarter-finals of an event and I'm lucky enough to do that many times. All teams will think they're going to go further, but you need to respect anyone you're facing. We have a double reason to do that now because they've come to the quarter-finals because they've done something historic that's good for them and negative for us. Even in Rome, they were able to draw us, which made it difficult for us. So, it's going to be tough and we need to stay the best. 】
Well, there is so much content in The post-match conference of Mourinho, see you tomorrow!
