The 59-year-old is famous for his original statements and controversial behavior during press conferences. A few days ago, without being asked by journalists, he himself started talking about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. – I will be very objective and pragmatic. Stop the war – this one and every other. I say “stop” and if I have to, I’ll do it again daily. Politics interests me, but I don’t want to talk about it publicly.
Mourinho to journalists: “Let’s respect each other”
Now the Portuguese coach was at the press conference ahead of the Rome derby. Journalists told him that Zdenek Zeman, who used to work in AS Roma, said Lazio was the favorite to win.
Jose Mourinho answered these words in an original way.
– Do you expect a coach who won 25 trophies to answer someone who has won a Serie B twice? If you ask me what Giovanni Trapattoni said or said, I will be glad to answer. But Zeman? Let’s respect each other, said the Portuguese.
Jose Mourinho has so far led AS Roma in 29 games. He won 14 of them, tied six and suffered nine losses. In his career, he has won the Champions League twice, the UEFA Cup and the Europa League once. He also became the champion of England three times, twice the champion of Italy and once of Spain.
AS Roma, after 29 matches in Serie A, is sixth in the table (48 points). Eighteen points are behind the leader, but he has played one game less. On Sunday in the Rome derby he will play at home against Lazio (at 18).
AS Roma is also in the quarter-finals of the League of European Conferences. In this phase their rival in the aggregate will be the Norwegian team Bodo / Glimt.
