“Roma” managed to recover after the defeat in the first match of the meeting with “Feyenoord” and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. After a 4-1 win at the Stadio Olimpico (after extra time), Jose Mourinho spoke of how tough the job is as a manager and hinted he will stay at the Capitol next season.

Jose Mourinho: “I have 150 matches in the European Cups, I have seen everything”

In an impromptu interview, the reporter told Mourinho that “there are a lot of analysts and big champions in the studio who want to ask you questions.” “The Special One” quickly interjected and drew a laugh: “Cassano, isn’t he?”, referring to his feud with the former Italy international.

The Lusitanian technician began his speech by explaining how difficult the match against Feyenoord was.

“Thanks to matches like this, I can explain why I have so many white hairs: I think I have 150 matches in European cups, I have seen them all.

I’m at a stage in my career where the players are more important, I’m the last one. I want to make the fans happy, give the boys a chance to progress. I am proud of it.

Before the match, I said: “Either we win or we go home dead from exhaustion.” I won and I deserved it.

Last? It can be only Italian, but also without Italians. Bayer is a very difficult opponent, but in the semi-finals of the Europa League we cannot expect a team with little quality.

Did Juventus get the points back? I have been in Italy for four years. I’ve been talking for three months, let’s forget about this punctuation” – Jose Mourinhoon Sky Sports, quoted by Gianluca Di Marzio.

Jose Mourinho wants to stay at Roma

Mourinho has hinted that he wants to stay at Roma, although Al-Nassr were rumored to be willing to pay him €100m over two years on a contract.

“I’m happy here, I can’t hide it. Because I love people and they love me. I respect everyone and everyone respects me, I have good relations with patrons, positive and respectful. Same with the manager, the players are fantastic.

I can’t say that they are like children, because I have only two that I love very much, but are close. I can’t say that I’m not happy here. Sometimes I have frustrations, sometimes I think about other ambitions. But let’s see. The main thing is that today I am really happy and I work for people” – Jose Mourinho.
