Secured by Jose Mourinho! The Portuguese coach has received harsh criticism in recent times, and then her exclusion Roma in the Coppa Italia from Lazio, there have been many reports stating that ‘Mu’ is playing his… head with Milan and will hardly continue on their bench after the season finale.
THE Mourinho he appeared with… a desire to respond at the press conference before the match with the “rosoneri”, responding to the reports that stated that he does not show the necessary professionalism, while he argued that he is not the Harry Potter to work magic with a lower-level roster than those of its competitors.
“It’s absurd to have to justify myself for missing training after I had agreed everything with the club. I have never lost a fight in my 23 year career. I will not allow my professionalism and dignity to be compromised in any way, my heart for this job is unquestionable. If there is a perfect example of professionalism, it is me”he initially reported, responding to his critics.
He then spoke about being banned from Lazio and his words being misinterpreted about the penalty awarded to their… eternal rivals: “As far as my relationship with the players is concerned, I don’t hold anything back. The better our relationship is, the more open I will be to them. Yesterday the meeting was difficult, especially for some people. Defensively the team was perfect in the derby, they only conceded one goal which was started by my mistake and we turned a corner into a penalty which caused an 18 year old kid with 55 minutes of Serie A. I never said it wasn’t a penalty, I said it was a penalty of the modern era and that the modern era in refereeing is inferior to 20 years ago.”
Jose Mourinho continued, in the long press conference, to refer to the derby with Lazio, but also to the fact that Roma do not take big matches easily, saying that people are right to be disappointed: “The derbies we’ve lost we’ve always lost because of a detail, some mistake, whether it’s refereeing or ours. But we always did it with the dignity of those who give everything and we always came out with our heads held high. In some cases some players should have given more, but still we finished the match as you saw, having two great chances to equalize at the end. The pride of being a Roma fan is there, but on the pitch you have to put that attitude in people’s eyes. I understand that people are not happy about a situation that for me is out of context, because after all it is a collective sport and not an individual one”.
The Special One then wanted to emphasize that he is not… a magician, since his team has less quality than the rest: “The potential of the top 4 teams does not compare to ours. The Roma fans are the most incredible I have ever seen, the manager is called Jose Harry Mourinho Potter and he is raising expectations, we are fighting something which is very difficult and no one will tell us we can’t fight. I’m a coach, not Harry Potter! With Milan we will give everything, I’m sorry I won’t be on the bench, I’ll be in the stands, in a place where I’m not welcome, but I’ll be there trying to do my job the way I can.”
“We are facing a team that is playing for the title, which won it two years ago. Obviously it seems that the points gap between them and Juventus and Inter is a distance that is not easy to cover, but it is that team there, who have lost some important players due to injury in defense, midfield and attack, but at the same time he made two transfers to find the solution, he took Terazzano and Gambia back”he concluded, talking about the match against Milan.
