Jose Mourinho: "I still say that playing on artificial turf is not football"

Roma coach Jose Mourinho expressed his opinion about the pitches with synthetic turf.

“I don’t want to complain about the lawn, because it will not give us any advantages. We must play in these conditions - and that's it. I still maintain that playing on artificial turf is not football, it is a different sport, so everyone who is used to playing on it has an advantage.

Last season we played on the synthetic field twice and lost both times, including one with a historic result. We were able to show everyone the truth when we destroyed Boude-Glimt at the Stadio Olimpico,” Football Italia quotes Mourinho.
