Rome, Mourinho: “Someone is already out, we are in the draw”

“Eventually someone goes home and someone goes to the draw. We go to the draw.” Thus begins the post-race, José Mourinho, to the microphones of Sky Sport. The message is clear: in the European Cups it counts who passes the turn, not how. Roma weren’t brilliant, but thanks Abraham for making them avoid the ordeal of extra time a few days before the derby with Lazio.

Mou’s analysis

Once again Roma scored in the final minutes. What does it mean? “The team has limits at different levels – explains Mourinho – but if a few months ago someone talked about us saying that we didn’t have the ability to control the result, now they say the opposite, they talk about the ability to resist the pressures of the last ones. minutes. The 1-0 for Vitesse was a dangerous result, a team could have played wisely and waited for extra time, but we played to finish earlier. ” Then comes the sincere compliments to the opponents. “Well done, it must be said. I did not know the name of their coach, he is very good, you want me to tell you … They were fantastic, I’m happy that we passed the round, I’m not happy to have played with many players who will have to take the field also on Sunday while those of Lazio are at home smoking a cigarette with Sarri … “, is the joke of Mou.

Mourinho is clear about Roma’s initial attitude: “We prepared the game to win it, not to control the result. It seemed to me that until the 1-0 scored by a fantastic guy, they hadn’t created anything. said there were three things to check: dead balls, depth and second ball and balance when we lost the ball. We didn’t do well only in the third area. The forwards lost all balls, in the same midfield. the full backs were wrong a lot. We made a lot of mistakes technically, but in defense we played well. I’m sorry for them, but we deserved it in two games. Now let’s think about the derby. Maurizio is at home smoking – I say that with affection – I have to go home and think about how to recover the players “.
