Roma, José Mourinho responds in his own way to Maurizio Sarri

"Of Sarri’s statements I would like to hear the reaction of the League, è it was a direct and objective criticism, so I wait". This was said by José Mourinho in a press conference on the eve of the Europa League challenge after the Lazio coach called it "unintelligent" to put the derby after a European engagement.

Sarri also called Roma’s match with Slavia Prague "a friendly" and Mourinho retorted on that as well. "If anyone should feel offended with his statements è the people of Slavia,” explained the Special One. I always respect my opponents, Slavia è a very good team and what makes the difference è the way of thinking about matches. Maybe the difference between a coach who has won 25 titles versus one who has won a few è exactly this mentality: every game is played and there are no friendlies”.

Finally a joke about tomorrow’s lineup: "We will play the players who will be in condition. There are players who are playing all the time and they feel they are in an important condition. The three defenders, for example, are always playing and they feel good: Mancini, Llorente and Ndicka will play, Svilar tomorrow will be thereà".
