Jose Mourinho, swipe from the Serie A League.

The words of De Siervo

Lega Serie A ad Luigi De Siervo commented on the words uttered by Josè Mourinho after the defeat against Inter ("Thanks to the League’s gift because we couldn’t play on Monday but had to play on Sunday"): "I respect him for what he does for Roma and for soccer, but his statements sounded like an alibi. È a professional who knows our world. Just think of Barcelona playing in the Champions League and then the Clasico at 4 p.m. The issue of recovery could not have been handled better, an important game must be played at the peak".

"The Serie A championship è extraordinary. We have an exciting struggle at the top soì as we do not forget the incredible match in Cagliari that won 4-3 with two goals in the recovery – De Siervo said again to 'La politica nel pallone' on Rai Gr Parlamento – È a championship that is growing, where there's great competitivenessà and yesterday's matches like the one in Naples are an example. We are coming off 4 years in which 4 different teams have won, where in other leagues the same teams always win. Poor soccer? Not è true, è absolutely false and the numbers say otherwise. Ours è a soccer in great recovery, we have made 3 finals, we are in contention for fifth place in Champions. This è is the truth ".

Closing remark on the market. "It è complicated, we are optimistic that we will do well since all over the world the quality of our soccer is recognized. The results will be better, in a complicated situation".
