Another special press conference conceded Jose Mourinho afterwards the impressive 7-0 of Roma over Empoli for the 4th matchday of the Italian Serie A.
Beyond the purely competitive partthe Portuguese coach spoke about the presence of Romelu Loukekus, who scored his first goal with the “Giallorossi” but also for the reactions of some of Inter’s friends regarding the transfer of the Belgian striker to the team in Rome.
“It wasn’t just Dybala. They all played well. (The players) didn’t play to make it a 7-0 game. We played to win, with absolute calmness. We had a good match, there were some ups and downs which is normal but we still have players who are not ready to play for 90 minutes“, he initially reported.
For the appearance of Lukakusunderlined: “For me, it didn’t matter if he scored or not. Maybe for him it would have. He was always available. But the fact that he scored made his night perfect, but we have to learn to play better with him. We need time to achieve this. He is happy here. Romelu must feel that he is loved, wanted and understood that the team needs a player like him. At Inter they have no reason to be angry: they should be happy with their former coach, who needed Romelu…».
In the end, Mourinho spoke about the series of matches that Roma has in front of it: “We have a lot of games and only three central defenders. We have to cope with it. We were also unlucky because Atalanta play on Thursday and Monday, while we play on Sunday. I guess someone in the League doesn’t like me and that’s why we’re going to make some changes on Thursday (for the Europa League)’.
