"Man Utd" team ended their performance in the UEFA Champions League group not in the most cheerful mood. Jose Mourinho's players lost 1:2 to "Valencia" club in an away game, but this did not prevent the team from appearing in the knockout stages next year. The guests were also hindered by defender Ph.Jones' own goal. After the match, the "Red Devils" coach said: "We scored two goals and instead of a victory, we had to experience failure. Of course, speaking seriously, in the first half we played too passively. Although we seemed confident, there was a lack of intensity and ambition in the second half," the Portuguese said. "I am convinced that after a talk in the dressing room, everything could have taken a different direction, but everything changed with an own goal, and then "Valencia" started to control the game better." "Later we made two substitutions and the team quickly recovered - we started to move faster and in more dangerous areas. The final result was 1:2, although it should have been 2:2. We had plenty of chances to equalize, but the wasted first half played a big role," Mourinho said.
