José Mourinho outspoken on the market
José Mourinho also spoke about the market in the press conference to introduce the Europa League challenge against Sheriff Tiraspol, scheduled for Thursday evening at the Stadio Olimpico: "Our market will always be adapted to what we can do. I am counting on it, I am the coach. We are together, not è that I want one thing, Tiago another, the owners yet another. We all want the same thing. I am not jealous, but City paid 80 for Philips and in January they send him away and get another one. We are a different reality".
"I would like 1-2-3-4 players, we all want to try to improve the team, to be stronger, but we have difficulties in doing that,” he admitted.
I tell you honestly: if we make a defender in the January market I am already happy. Would I like more? Sure, but it is not è possible. They are working to give me options for a difficult defender. Then if we get him we have difficulties for the UEFA list. Do Kristensen and Azmoun make the list? I would like people to understand that and honesty when talking about goals. One thing è want, one è power. There is nothing more we can do than a defender who can help. Ndicka will è not be there since Jan. 3, Mancini è warned, Llorente is holding out and still playing, Smalling will è not be there. Eventually it will beà possible to do something".
So he thanked the fans: "What can I say, the day the stadium is not full will be a negative surprise for us. It's nice, è a motivation the Olimpico soì. They don't care if there is a great team, there are no conditions. Tomorrow we have to win for them, for us, for soccer because the game has to be respected. Maybe nobody thinks that Slavia will lose tomorrow, but everything è possible. And for that we have to win. Changes will be there and they will also be forced in the way of playing".
On Dybala's absence: "There's one game with Dybala and one without. With Dybala, Fiorentina was not able to press. Without Dybala, there isn't another one like him and now there won't be, as well as Romelu and it's going to be a difficult situation because you can't replicate it and we should do it differently: we have Belotti and Pellegrini who can't be a second forward. We have El Shaarawy. Without Dybala it will not be" the same".
