The Portuguese coach appears in Budapest for the Europa League final against Sevilla.
José Mourinho, coach of Roma, appeared this Tuesday, May 30, in the run-up to the grand final of the Europa League, which his team will play this Wednesday against José Luis Mendilibar’s Sevilla.
The Portuguese coach highlighted the Italian side’s illusion of lifting the Europa League trophy against the six-time champions of the tournament, saying it is an “extraordinary” moment.
Next, the most striking sentences left by Mourinho in the press room of the Puskas Arena (Budapest)…
“Unlike my colleague Mendilibar, I think they are favorites because history accompanies them, with an experience we don’t have. Playing in a Europa League final is almost normal for them and an extraordinary event for us, something historic for our fans”
“Sevilla have 26 high level players, they are a great team. With the players that Sevilla has, if Roma have a bigger budget, it’s because they don’t earn much. I don’t think it is”
“In terms of experience, the only thing is that I have had more opportunities to play in Europe, but we are talking about two coaches with the same years of experience, both of whom have white hair.”
“We are not at the same level as Sevilla, but we are not angels in this kind of competition”
