Mourinho after Roma-Bodo Glimt: “It’s up to us to carry the flag of Italy”

José Mourinho is naturally satisfied, after having reached the qualification for the semifinals of the Conference League: “It’s up to us to take the flag of Italy now, we are the only team left in the race in a European cup – he tells Sky Sport. -. I was confident even after Bodo’s 2-1 defeat, I didn’t see big problems there either, I felt we were superior. We are stronger than them, it is unacceptable to have won only in the fourth game against Bodo. But what matters is that the 1-2 became 5-2 We had great quality from the first minute. Even when the result was still 1-0 or 2-0, we knew it was done. “

Zaniolo’s hat-trick is another great news of the Giallorossi evening: “Zaniolo sells … There is too much talk about him in the media, it would be better for us at Roma if we didn’t keep talking about the fact that he plays, doesn’t play, he’s in The bench – comments Mou-. Today we managed to hide the fact that he would have started as a starter. Tomorrow he will get the front pages of the newspapers for the right reasons, for a great performance “. The calendar now forces Roma to focus quickly on Serie A, because the transfer to Naples arrives: “I’m happy that our people have this passion, now we go to face a team that is fighting for the Scudetto – that’s Mourinho’s thought. -. But we also want to achieve a result to finish fifth. It is hard to play on Thursday, as it always happened to us in the Conference League matches … and then to go to Naples on Monday. “

Finally, the Special One gives its opinion on the debate between “gamers” and “players”, always with reference to Roma: “Playing well and winning is perfect, fantastic. I don’t like playing well and losing, it’s fine for those who are they defend with the excuse of philosophy and identity and then they do not win anything – he says -. I believe that we play much better than what people think or say, it is not true that we only have character and personality. Today we played really well . In the locker room at half-time I said that it was not a question of humiliating the opponent, only of dominating the game and going to the semifinals. And so it was. “
