THE BALL – «I have players who are too good and with a weak mentality» (Roma)

José Mourinho was very critical of the attitude of Roma players, after the team had allowed Juventus a sensational comeback from 1-3 to 4-3 in less than 10 minutes.

“We were in complete control for 70 minutes but then there was a psychological breakdown. The 3-2 killed us. When you allow that against a team like Juventus, with a very strong mentality, fear sets in. It is a psychological complex of the players. For me 3-2 is not a problem but for the team it is. I have players in this locker room who are too nice and have a weak mentality.

This thing of playing in the comfort zone, for sixth or seventh place, is easy for some people but not for me. We need to end this mentality. After the game with Milan, I told the players that it is they who have to have a psychological profile similar to mine and not me to theirs», commented the Portuguese to DAZN, also asking Tiago Pinto to bring more reinforcements to give quality to the squad.

“I have limitations in the bank, few options. Maitland-Niles arrived yesterday and had to play, I hope that this coming week someone else will arrive.”
