Mourinho: “I want to help these kids grow up”

Jose Mourinho emphasized that he did not come to leave an era on the Roma bench, but to make the “Giallorossi” fans proud, praised the results of his players’ work, spoke about Sevilla and considers it an important success for Italian football that three teams from the neighboring country are in the same number of European finals this year.

Analytically: “My concern is not to leave my mark in Roma’s history books. It’s about helping these kids grow up, achieve important things. It is also to help the Roma fans, who have given me so much since day one. It is an immense pleasure to reach another final.

The guys are giving everything, this match is the result of our work, our experience, our tactical philosophy and our ability in the matches. They are an incredible team. If I can ask one more thing from Roma fans, it’s that these players deserve something special on Monday in training…

Three finalists in the finals is good for Italian football. Sevilla and Juventus are two very strong teams, but my concern was not which of the two teams we will face in the final, but to get there first. It will be a very difficult match for us against Sevilla.”
