His words: “Zaniolo blocked us from the market and I explained why but let’s go on. We can’t complain, Wijnaldum is here too today
Tiago Pinto he spoke to Dazn’s microphones before the match with Lecce. These are the words of the Portuguese GM:
Mourinho said he could have left, was there really this possibility or is there the possibility of releasing himself in his contract? “I’m accused of never talking. On Wednesday I spoke for 35 minutes about this too. I would have preferred to talk about Lecce and Corvino who is the best Italian sporting director and a friend of mine, instead he had asked me the same things on Wednesday”.
Is the Champions League essential for Mourinho’s stay? “We don’t need the extra pressure. We have our identified leader who is the mister. Everyone recognizes him even me as director. We are in the same boat to advance our goals. We know what we have to do but we mustn’t say that everything will be good with the Champions League and all bad without it. Today concentrate on Lecce”.
Has the sale of Zaniolo blocked you on the market? “Yes, it’s true, but I don’t want to talk about Nicolò all season to blame him. He blocked the market for us and I explained why but let’s go on. We can’t complain, Wijnaldum is here today too. We have to do our best and in the end we’ll see what happens.”
