Jose Mourinho yesterday at the end of the match against "Feyenoord" set off to secure a ticket to the Europa League semi-finals. Portugal tried to light up the stands while "Roma" already had a 2-goal advantage with a combined result in the tournament quarterfinal.
One of the best football coaches of all time praised his players after the match: "We have our limits, but I never get angry with this team, even when they lose. This team is like a family, despite their flaws.
These players are amazing. I feel a great empathy towards them. I can't say they are like my children, because I love my Jose and Matilda very much, but they are almost like my children," said J. Mourinho.
However, the future of the 60-year-old remains unclear. He is currently actively linked with PSG, while "Roma" has quite limited resources in the transfer market due to financial fair play rules, which restrict the actions of the Italian capital's team in the transfer window.
However, after yesterday's memorable victory, J. Mourinho spoke quite positively about his future: "I won't hide it, I am happy here. I am happy because I love the people around me, they love me, I sometimes feel that everyone in Trigoria (Rome province) loves and respects me.
Last summer, as a free agent, "AS Roma" added Paulo Dybala, whose goal yesterday was very important.
"Dybala was looking for lost joy and he found it here. He found a great group, a coach who understands him, and a fan base that loves him. On the field, he became a leader because of his quality," Jose Mourinho commented on "La Joya".
