Roma, Jose Mourinho announces lineup changes
José Mourinho’s words ahead of Servette-Roma
On the eve of the match against Servette that is valid for the fifth day of the group stage of the Europa League, Roma coach José Mourinho, among the various topics discussed in the press conference, dwelt on the management of Lorenzo Pellegrini and Renato Sanches, who have recently recovered from their respective injuries.
"They won't all play together. I have to do some management. We will have another important competition on Sunday. Renato's management is obvious, while Lorenzo in the last game played the first hour after not playing for a long time. Dybala should also rest, as he played 88 minutes after returning late from the national team. We have to have the psychological strength to give everything. The tie does not tell me anything. The problem is not è qualification" began the Portuguese coach.
"Tomorrow we are not thinking about goals, but about winning. We have a very difficult match ahead of us, as we have to deal with several absences in defense (Smalling and Kumbulla). We have two away matches in three days and we will need everyone and for this reason I will make some lineup changes hoping to have positive answers. I am not afraid to get to the last day to pass the round" continued the coach of the Giallorossi.
"Beyond" the result, which can sometimes be negative, the match against Braga è was unacceptable. We took the field with the wrong attitude and with our heads already on the Derby with Lazio. It was a horrible game and we talked about it today as well. By now è the past and now we have a match to win on a field that is not è in perfect condition" commented José Mourinho.
