The Portuguese coach on the eve of the first leg with Vitesse: “We are fighting for this cup and to enter the Champions League, the quality of the group has risen”. On the game: “I’m worried about the playing field, so it’s dangerous”
His presence at the conference had announced it with a photo on Instagram in which he said he was out of prison. Tomorrow Josè Mourinho will be on the bench against Vitesse after the two days of disqualification in the league, today in the Netherlands he returned to talk after weeks and reiterated a few, but clear, concepts: the days in which he said that he had no one on the bench are over , today has a group of equal players; he doesn’t like Vitesse’s field (and that’s an understatement); he will not make who knows what turnover because Roma want to win and close the qualification procedure as soon as possible. “We are here to score and win. In the last match we made 5 changes because the bench was of quality. In the rest of the season it was difficult because there was always someone missing. Now we have a strong squad. We also have two goals available. fight for the Champions League, every match is decisive and I am happy with the players. There will be no turnover and those who do not have physical problems will play “. Also because Mou doesn’t want to risk anyone, since the pitch doesn’t make him crazy: “Maybe they did a concert on it. Dutch football takes hours to explain, but I have started working with van Gaal and can only express gratitude. Given the conditions of the ground, something is changing, I have played many times in this country and I had never seen it like this, I don’t understand how to play it “.
KARSDORP COMES HOME
–
Next to Mourinho is Dutch Rick Karsdorp who started his professional career right at Vitesse: “I don’t have time to follow Dutch football a lot, but they did well against Tottenham and Rennes. The pitch is not in good condition” . Two words Karsdorp gives her about the relationship with Mourinho: “He is very demanding and makes you perform at your best. In many ways he is different from the others. Sometimes he even runs with me on the sideline.”
THE LAST TWO WEEKS
–
To Sky, Mourinho summarized the last few weeks in which he had not spoken and was not on the bench: “I liked some things even when the matches did not go as well as with Verona. I liked the respect for the shirt and the fans, the desire to overturn the result. In La Spezia I liked the first half in 11 against 11 and the offensive attitude of the team without Zaniolo. In numerical superiority we dominated. Against Atalanta I liked Roma from the first minute . I was in an isolated room where you couldn’t hear anything. I immediately had a feeling of strength, you felt something right away, we played a solid game. ” On the pitch Mou added: “It’s incredible, up close it’s something inexplicable. Twenty-five years ago I was coming to Holland and I was used to great lawns, they have an incredible football culture. What I see today made me rethink the criticisms that I did at the Olimpico. A dangerous stuff for football and players. ” On the championship, Mou doesn’t want to look too far: “We have to look around us and check who is behind us by two or three points. I don’t want to look at fourth or eighth. I want to look at Udinese. We will stay here to work and rest in order to get to Sunday’s match in the best possible way. ” The closing is dedicated to Spinazzola: “Now he finally has a smile on his face. He does little things with us, and on his own he works very well with the staff. He can’t play right away, but now he’s an athlete”.
