When the referee blew the final whistle, roma captain Pellegrini in the venue knelt down to celebrate, and when the camera was given to Mourinho on the sidelines, the Portuguese were already surrounded by assistants, but many people did not notice at the time, in fact, Mourinho's eyes were already full of tears. Later, when the live director pointed the camera at him again, everyone found that the already white-haired Mourinho was excitedly shedding tears, and the year he came to Rome, his life was not easy, and he could lead the team to advance to a European final at the end of the season, and the Portuguese also gave themselves and fans an account.
On July 1 last year, the Portuguese made their way to the enthusiastic Mediterranean country of Italy, a place where he has achieved great things, but it is a bit surprising that this time he is not coaching the traditional 3 giants, but the Roma team that has had some ups and downs in recent years. From the first day of his tenure, the outside world has never stopped questioning him, after all, Roma is not a top giant like Inter, Chelsea and Real Madrid, many times the players he wants can't come, and the existing players can't fully implement his tactics, so he started a new season in Rome, but it was not smooth.
Stubborn and even paranoid, this is a big impression of Mourinho, relatively conservative tactics have made him controversial in the late Stages of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, after coming to Roma, in fact, these situations have not changed particularly much, limited by the number of players and abilities are very limited, Mourinho has little room to adjust and, so many times, the team often plays some incredible games when the state is not good, such as the Europa League group stage loss to Norway and the team Bode Shine is a best example, Roma, without superstars, have experienced too many bumps along the way, although less than a year has passed.
But Mourinho is still the same Mourinho after all, the "madman" is still himself, although he has been full of white hair, but at the press conference, he will still be angry with reporters, and he will be blunt about the places he is not used to, but after the semi-final, he let the world see the other side of his true temperament, although he still looks tough or even "stubborn", but he is also a man with rich feelings. Leading the team to finally advance to the final, he completely released himself and no longer had the slightest disguise.
If he can successfully win the cup in the final on the 25th, he will not only become the first champion manager since the European Association Cup was held, but also become the first Full Slam coach after the European war reform (he has led the team to win the Champions League and europa League championships before). "The UEFA Cup is our Champions League arena. Now for us, to be on the stage of reaching the European final, I think it is already a great result. After returning to calm, Mourinho said that 20 days later at the Stadium in Tirana, Albania, he was looking forward to the performances of Mourinho and Roma.
