Sehr offene Statements Mourinhos zum Ausscheiden in der Coppa Italia:
“But there it is. Over the years I have learned not to cry after a defeat and to instead look forward to the next game. Our squad struggles when we are forced into rotation, we struggle to play three games in one week. However, getting back to the match tonight, we deserved to pay the price for how we played in the first half.”
“This is the same old post-match complaint. When, for two days before the match, the medical department - who are overseeing the situations with all the individual players - tells you very clearly that player A, B, C, D is in the red zone, at risk of an injury, when we have another match on Saturday and a squad that cannot afford any injuries … This all makes you think. If Paulo [Dybala] had started today, but then picked up a lengthy injury, we might have been happy to be in the semi-finals but we would have lost him for a month. And that goes for Paulo, for Matic, for Tammy. Did you see how Tammy and Matic finished the game in Naples?"
Wir spielen vor dem Hinspiel übrigens wie die Roma am Samstag und haben davor eine volle Trainingswoche.
