Jose Mourinho reveals Lorenzo Pellegrini has promised to sign a new contract with Roma, but insists the team ‘did not play well’ in a 5-1 win over CSKA Sofia.
The Giallorossi had a rough start, going a goal down after 10 minutes to a mass defensive error, but came back for their sixth win out of six in all competition this season.
Pellegrini bagged a brace, with Stephan El Shaarawy, Gianluca Mancini and Tammy Abraham also on target.
“We did not play well. At times we did well, a strong team is coming together, we have already talked about it and must be even more of a team when we go into the difficult moments,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia.
“However, I was not satisfied with the performance at all. We did not play with quality, just two days ago we trained about this, but the full-backs didn’t push much, there wasn’t enough intensity, we lost so many defensive duels.
“I cannot say we played badly, but we didn’t do well either and certainly not enough to warrant a 5-1 result. Yes, we have more quality than CSKA Sofia, but we didn’t do enough.”
Pellegrini scored twice and inspired his teammates, confirming an excellent start to the season, but Mourinho revealed the contract extension saga is coming to an end.
“He is a player with quality, a great deal of potential and he told me yesterday that he’ll sign the new contract soon. I think it can definitively give more strength to this rapport he is building with the fans.
“Pellegrini is the captain, he will sign a new contract and is very important for us.”
Mourinho was asked about his squad rotation in the Europa Conference League when playing on a Thursday.
“The five substitutions give coaches a different way of dealing with games. We had a super bench today and that allowed me to play others. I’ve hinted the fundamental difference between us and other teams is the type of option they can draw on in all areas and we cannot, but there’s time for these lads to grow and become more competitive.”
Mourinho seemed to be trying to calm down the enthusiasm around his Roma start, a 100 per cent record after six games between Serie A and the Conference League.
“Of course, it’s true. We have our limitations, a season is a marathon and we need to control our tempo. I said six wins isn’t 60, just as seven wins won’t be 70. We’re building first of all a team, but we must stay calm and continue to feel this joy between us and the fans.
“When the dark moments come, and they certainly will come, that is when we must be even more of a team, more of a club. I am happy with what we are building, but it’s early days.”
Finally, Mourinho was asked whether he was still trying to drill more determination into his Roma side and gave a typically Jose anecdote.
“The other day during a game between ranks, a player whose team was winning went to get the ball and take the throw-in. I asked what he was doing, he said he wanted to enjoy himself. I told him enjoying yourself means winning and stop being a ****.”
“我们踢得不好。有时我们做得很好，一支强大的球队正在聚集在一起，我们已经讨论过了，当我们进入困难时期时，必须更加团结，”穆里尼奥告诉意大利天空体育。
“但是，我对表演完全不满意。我们踢球没有质量，就在两天前，我们还为此进行了训练，但边后卫的推力不大，强度不够，我们输掉了很多防守对决。
“我不能说我们打得不好，但我们也做得不好，当然也不足以保证 5-1 的结果。是的，我们比 CSKA Sofia 更有素质，但我们做得还不够。”
佩莱格里尼梅开二度并鼓舞了他的队友，确认了本赛季的良好开局，但穆里尼奥透露续约传奇即将结束。
“他是一名有实力、潜力巨大的球员，他昨天告诉我他很快就会签下新合同。我认为这绝对可以为他与球迷建立的这种融洽关系提供更多力量。
“佩莱格里尼是队长，他将签下一份新合同，对我们来说非常重要。”
在周四的比赛中，穆里尼奥被问及他在欧洲联盟联赛中的阵容轮换情况。
“五次换人让教练们有了不同的处理比赛的方式。今天我们有一个超级替补席，这让我可以和其他人比赛。我已经暗示我们和其他球队之间的根本区别在于他们可以在所有领域利用的选择类型，而我们不能，但是这些小伙子有时间成长并变得更有竞争力。”
穆里尼奥似乎试图平息他对罗马队开局的热情，在意甲和联盟联赛之间进行了六场比赛后，这一记录达到了 100%。
“当然，这是真的。我们有自己的局限性，一个赛季就是一场马拉松，我们需要控制自己的节奏。我说六胜不是60，就像七胜不是70一样。我们首先要建立一支球队，但我们必须保持冷静，继续感受我们和球迷之间的这种喜悦。
“当黑暗时刻到来时，它们肯定会到来，那时我们必须更加像一个团队，更像一个俱乐部。我对我们正在建设的东西很满意，但现在还为时尚早。” |
