The words of José Mourinho

José Mourinho at the end of the match won in a comeback in the home of Sassuolo decided to speak only in Portuguese, flanked by a translator: "My Italian is not è sufficient and not è good enough to express certain concepts. One concept I have already è stressed è that emotional stability è is essential to achieve results".

"Regarding the ball not returned in the final we told the Sassuolo people that to receive fair play you have to give it and in their team there'è a player who of fair play è lacked it. I want to thank the owner and manager Tiago Pinto who have supported me in the last 24 hours,” Mou continued, “It was a hard-fought but deserved victory. Even when we were down by one goal we were the best team on the field. I am very happy for the players and for all our fans. I must also dedicate a word to my assistant Salvatore Foti, who was not there today but worked so hard for this match".

In the pre-game, Tiago Pinto had expressed himself as follows: "You know me by now and you know that I try not to fuel off-field issues. Now forò è the time to say enough. Prosecutorial investigation? So far we haven’t received anything, I trust the prosecutor’s common sense. In this beginning of the championship we have seen coaches with much uglier attitudes than Mourinho and nothing è happened. Just go to social media to see examples. I have seen in pre-match coaches commenting on designations and nobody says anything. What Mourinho said yesterday was not è an ’offense to anyone".

"This’referee has never directed us. If we come here to speak we have to say what they want. There are people who as soon as Mourinho speaks are lì ready to comment: if you comment on someone else&’s words you have three news stories, if you comment on Mou&’s you have three hundred. That’s enough now. We are also changing our attitude. If a coach like him cannotò use emotional expressions, then I no longer knowù what to say", he had concluded.
