Jose Mourinho admitted he was disappointed with the quality of AS Roma’s back-up players after being massacred by the Norwegian club, Bodo/Glimt 6-1 in the UEFA Conference League continued, Friday (10/22) early morning WIB.

This was a historic defeat, because for the first time in the 1008th game of his career, Mourinho saw his team concede six goals.

In his post-match comments, the coach explained the reason behind the humiliating defeat was that he only had 13 players and the rest were deemed unfit to be at his current level.

“Every defeat causes damage,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italy. “I spoke to the players and was honest. I was honest with them, I can’t be honest with you.”

“I never hide the fact that we are a team with real limitations. We have 13 players representing one team, others are at different levels.”

“At least the positive thing from now on is that no one will ask me why I always use the same players.”

Even so, the former Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur tactician still claimed he was responsible for the disappointing defeat in Norway.

“I decided to play with this line-up, so the responsibility lies with me,” said Mourinho.

“I did it with good intentions, to give an opportunity to those who work hard and rotate the squad on synthetic pitches in the cold. I decided to rest a lot of players.”

“We lost against a team that showed better quality that night. It’s that simple.”
