Mourinho: “If we get a defender in January I will be happy”

THE Roma on Thursday (14/12, 19:45) will welcome the Sherifffor the last matchday of its groups Europa League.

THE Jose Mourinho he spoke ahead of the match and referred both to the transfers of the Romans, and to his future on the “jalorossi” bench.

“Our transfers are always linked to what we can do. I’m counting on it, I’m the coach. We are together, it’s not like I want one thing, Thiago another and the owners something else. We all want the same thing. i’m jealous but city paid 80 million euro for philips and in january they send him out and get another player. We are a different story. I would like 1,2,3,4 players, we are all trying to fix the team and be stronger but we have difficulty doing it”first reported and continued:

“I tell you honestly, if we get a defender in January, I will be happy. Would I like more? Sure, but it’s not possible. They are working to give me solutions for a defender, then if we take him we will have difficulties for the UEFA list.

I would like people to understand honesty when talking about goals. It is one thing to want and another to be able. We can’t do anything more than get a defender who can help.”

As for his future in Roma: “I don’t have to think about my future, everything is clear in my mind. I’m moved by the people’s actions in my favor but they shouldn’t do it for me, the players deserve the support.”

While he finished: “I don’t have anything to say about the sold out with Sherif, the day the Olimpico is not full will be a negative surprise for me. It’s nice and we are motivated by the full stadium. On Thursday we will have to win for them, for us, for football, which we must respect.”
