According to Tasnim news agency, Jose Mourinho, whose led team stopped Napoli with a one-on-one result last night (Monday) in the 33rd week of the Italian Serie A match at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, after playing in an interview with “DAZN” television network. “I was happy after the final whistle because it seemed impossible for us to leave the stadium with a positive result,” he said.
“This is not because my team did not play well, because we did and we progressed during the game, but I felt it would be difficult to leave here with a positive result if not impossible. That’s why I was happy to get this one point. Looking at what I saw and heard in my team locker room, it seemed impossible to get a positive result in this game.
“My players were amazing in this match,” said the Roma coach. After Thursday night’s game in the Europa League, it was like climbing Mount Everest for us, but with the high quality and character and the extraordinary mental and physical strength that we showed, we got this positive result. We were looking for a better result, but we achieved what was possible.
“My team was fantastic, I am proud of these players,” said Mr Khas, who sent attacking players, including Henrik Mkhitaryan, to the pitch in the second half to tie the game. There are teams trying to win the Scudetto, we are not on the championship course but we still have the right to play and we are trying to win our games. In this game, it seemed that we did not have the right to play to win.
In another part of his speech, Mourinho noted: “I also read an article written by an official who said that if the referees make a mistake in the games of the three teams fighting to win the Scudetto, the fate of the championship will change. Well, I’m saying that if mistakes are made in favor of the teams fighting for the Scudetto, the fate of the league (the rest of the teams) may also be affected.
The Roma football team with this draw gained 58 points and is in the fifth place of the سریA Serie standings and 63 points behind Juventus.
