Mou is 8 points below Juventus for the last UEFA Champions League spot that Roma is a weak team except for Viña and Tammy Abraham.

I honestly thought the coro was a bit much. He’s coaching the opponent ffs.

Mou will always be an inter legend, but it doesn’t change the fact he, to quote Snoop Dop, “dropped us like it was hot,” even before the finale in Madrid. I mean no hard feelings but let’s keep the focus on Inzaghi and our boys.

Complete interview below:

“Inter are Inter, they are the best team in Serie A with players great in every aspect, but with all due respect, there are many ‘animals’ in their squad – in a good way!” Mourinho told DAZN.

“We needed to be perfect today and we weren’t perfect. We did well, but we weren’t perfect. It was 0-0 and we had that big chance with Mancini’s header, 10 seconds later they scored with a through ball. The second goal was also a through ball after we lost the ball.

“There was a lack of concentration and confidence for about 10-15 minutes before the break. In the second half, we conceded a goal from a set play that my players knew full well how to defend, because we talked about it so much.

“We had the courage to play and keep going. I prefer to lose after three months against a team that is stronger than us, so I have nothing to say.”

Unusually, Mourinho also had no complaints about the officiating from Sozza.
“The referee had a difficult game, because Inter challenging for the Scudetto, Roma coming here looking for the win, it was tough for him. I am happy because he’s an inexperienced referee, but the two teams helped him too. If we’d had Sozza last week instead of the other guy, Di Bello, we’d have picked up three points against Napoli.”

Roma are the only remaining Italian representative in Europe and will face Leicester City on Thursday in the first leg of the Conference League semi-final.
“Now we need to rest, chase the dream of reaching the Conference League Final, which will be so tough on Thursday. As I said, if I had to lose, I preferred losing against a team that was stronger.”

Roma have struggled in the head-to-head matches with the top clubs, so what do they need to do to bridge that gap?
“We need time, work, the growth of players. Zalewski has a lot of qualify for a child. There are teams like Inter who pay to keep Gosens on the bench, whereas we have to work with a kid and help to protect him.

“I really believe our approach was very positive today, and the only reason we didn’t score more was thanks to Inter. We tried to create the situations, but they are good at this, De Vrij had no problem playing one-on-one with Tammy Abraham, I am not at all disappointed with my team’s performance.

“If we had faced a mid-table team today, we’d certainly have won. Inter had two years of Antonio Conte, now one of Simone Inzaghi, they are tactically very smart and well-versed. If you create a problem for them, they will find a way around it.”

This was his first Serie A return to San Siro as an opponent since winning the Treble in 2010 and he was given a warm welcome, holding up his hand in thanks during the final minutes when the Curva Nord and the rest of the crowd joined in doing his old chant.

“I love Inter, Inter love me, but I want to win every match. Obviously, I can say now we no longer have to play Inter, Milan, Roma or Napoli, so now I can say I’d like Inter to win the Scudetto.

“I couldn’t say that before, as this is my work and we are paid to win.”

He surely masters the press & media 😅

I see your point but he (Jose) brought us incredible memories that probably we will not witness in the near future. The most normal thing is to pay tribute to him when he faces us.

Tbh, that coro got me goosebumps :proud:.

And he's obviously the only coach to reach the final of the three active UEFA competitions (Trappattoni iirc reached the previous three when it was ECC, CWC and Uefa Cup, probably a few else)

Such a shame that it's in Albania with a 22k stadium. I know that Feyenoord fans are getting something like 3k tickets between them so even hardcore fans who have been everywhere may not manage to get a final ticket. Fucking UEFA... Could have put this thing in a random country with a 50k+ stadium instead (ie Romania, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Serbia etc), all this star and elite system for nothing...


Mourinho for the win. Haters gonna hate. He reached the final with Tammy fucking Abraham, Chris freaking Smalling and Nicola WHO? Zalewski!

Abraham has 15 Serie A goals and 9 Conference goals. So either the level of the competitions is pretty low or he isn't as bad as you make him out to be.

I've been impressed with Tammy. I predicted he'd start strong then completely fizzle out and while he had a dip, he's been pretty good IMO.
