Roma head coach Jose Mourinho commented on the 1-3 defeat in the 31st round of the Italian league against Atalanta.
Jose Mourinho, Getty Images"I think that with all our limitations, we played a great game. You can't dismiss individual moments because they are all part of the match and can determine the outcome, but in reality, it all came down to subtle episodes. We controlled the game in the first half, we didn't create many chances, but we were in full control of the match.
In the second half, after we reduced the deficit to one goal, I thought we could achieve our goal. Then there was another moment that decided the game. I am satisfied with my players. If I have to play next Saturday, I will do it. We always stick together in difficult periods. We finished the game with nine players and nine of us hit the post, which could have led to the second goal. We kept fighting until the end," the Wolves press service quoted the Portuguese coach as saying.
Speaking about next Saturday, Mourinho is referring to the Serie A match against AC Milan, which could be key in the fight for a place in the Champions League next season. Diego Llorente has been sent to the infirmary, where Chris Smalling and Georginio Wijnaldum are already staying, and Paulo Dybala's participation is also in doubt due to injury.
