Mourinho on the eve of the match in Geneva against Servette: “We must win and aim for the first position.”
“To win, that’s all I think about. There are no other alternatives, we want to win at all costs. Spoke José Mourinho on the eve of Servette-Roma who won’t set for any other result other than the 3 points:
“We are here to win, and we want to win at all costs. Our only concern is winning the match against Servette, an opponent that is not easy to face away. They always start strong in the first 20-30 minutes. But one certain thing is that we want to top the group by all means.”
Tomorrow, however, Roma will rest at least 4-5 players, in a logic of rotation that also looks at the match in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo. “We will make changes, of course. I expect responses from players like Kumbulla and Abraham. At the same time we are facing some difficulties, especially at the back, due to Smalling‘s absence, we must make some changes.”
“Now, we have 2 away games in 3 days; and we are going to need everyone. I expect positive responses even from those on the bench, who I expect to be ready whenever they are called to action.”
Mou might decide not to change anything, confirming Dybala alongside Lukaku. At least at the beginning, in the hope of getting the game on the right track immediately. Also, to erase the bad memory of the game in Prague on which the ‘Special one’ commented:
“That was an unacceptable game, everything we did was wrong, I was really angry. With Servette, will be different: but that pitch is a disaster; come on now, is anyone even working on it…
When asked about the qualification, Mou said: “Tomorrow, I think our problem is not the qualification; I don’t think that’s at risk. The problem is doing everything to win and take the 3 points home.”
