“My feeling is that immediately after the first ten minutes we would have won the match, we always played well even 11 against 11. We were always in control of the match.” José Mourinho said this to Dazn after the 2-0 victory against Napoli. “The match before Christmas changes the mood of the party,” he added. “Before entering the pitch we talked about our Christmas and that of the Roman fans.
We’ve managed to stay close to where we want to be.”
To those who asked him if Roma’s squad is inferior to that of Bologna and Fiorentina in the Champions League race, he replied: “Without Smalling, Renato Sanches, Dybala we are not a very strong squad”. Then moving on to the team’s objectives, he underlined that “I prefer to do my management, game after game. It’s not a criticism, we have a group of players who have a difficult medical history. If we all play every game I wouldn’t have any kind of problem to say that we are going to fight with everyone to get to fourth place. But unfortunately we have these difficulties, in addition to those of Financial Fair Play”. “It’s one thing what we want to do at market level – concluded the Roma coach -, it’s another thing what we can. For this reason I don’t want to talk about a clear objective”.
