Roma head coach Jose Mourinho commented on his team’s 1-1 draw with Juventus.
The Portuguese coach said in statements after the match: “During the half-time break, I told the players that I am ashamed that I am your coach. In the second half the situation was different. It was not a tactical issue, but a behavioral issue.”
He continued: “In the first half, on the bench, I asked Salvatore (his assistant) to pray for the first half to end 1-0. As I told the players, in the first half the match could have ended, we were lucky to finish the first half with a score of 1-0., In the second half, the team looked completely different, unfortunately, I had several attacking decisions on the bench without the arrival of Zaniolo, Wijnaldum and another player (meaning Belotti). With these three, you can write history, and Allegri made a change by introducing Milik and McKinney, despite the fact that when it comes to injuries, it’s a completely different situation. If we analyze the second half, we deserved a 1-0 win, I don’t want to say that the result was deserved because the first half was bad.”
