Mourinho couldn’t take the debacle and lashed out at journalists: your job is easier than ours, that’s why we earn much more

AS Roma failed to cope with Saturday’s match against the favoured Inter Milan and lost by a class difference. Jose Mourinho was understandably not happy and joking at the press conference. On the contrary. He even took a swipe at the journalists.

Jose Mourinho’s charges lost their second game in a row. In the week they failed to beat Bologna, who won 1: 0, and now Inter Milan shot in Rome.

AS Roma lost 0: 3. But the fact is that the Portuguese strategist had to deal with several key absences.

Tammy Abraham missed his team due to a card penalty, captain Lorenzo Pellegrini is out due to injuries, as is Stephan El Shaarawy. This had an impact on the team’s attacking (im)potential.

However, Mourinho did not start the post-match press conference with complaints. First of all, he took a swipe at the journalists: “Your job is much easier than ours, that’s why we earn many times more than you.”

He then apologised to anyone who wanted to hear answers to questions after the loss and started, ” Inter are stronger than us even under normal conditions. In the conditions that existed today, they are even stronger.”

Mourinho recalled that AS Roma finished 29 points behind Inter last season. Now, after 16 rounds, they are 12 points behind.

According to the Portuguese, the decisive factor was that his charges had virtually zero attacking potential. In addition, some players had to start in positions they are not used to playing, which he said also played a part.

Anyway, Rome is still in a respectable fifth place. The top four have a big lead, but fifth place could be considered a success. But it will be a big fight, there are many contenders.
