Roma, Jose Mourinho wants “bandit-like” nastiness

Roma, José Mourinho wants a nastiness "from bandits"

These are the words of José Mourinho in the press conference on the eve of the challenge with Udinese talking about the mentalityà of his Roma.

"I have had teams that were gangs of bandits, they enjoyed playing away from home. We as a team don&#39t do it forò, there'è people who like the comfort of home because they miss their mom or grandma making them dessert. We have a little bit of this problem here. I have had teams provoking people out from inside the coach because theyé wanted to exalt".

"At home we usually manage to do it even in difficulty and at the last minute. Away from home, on the other hand, we lack a little bit of mentality,"” he added. Instead, returning to the issue of the contract, he explained: "I talked with the Friedkins again yesterday. We are working, but not on the contract".

Mourinho then took stock of Smalling's injury. "There's a problem, but he doesn&#39t know how to play in pain. He pulls back a little bit. But his injury è difficult, we have to be patient, I can not slaughter myself or slaughter him. We will see when he will come back. I don&#39t expect him before 2-3 weeks. Hopefully before 2024".
