Jose Mourinhocoach of Romedeclared this Thursday after a heavy defeat against the Genoa (4-1) that it was “the worst start” of his career, but he pointed out that “it was also the first time in the history of Rome who are playing two European finals”.
The painful defeat against Genoa left the Rome sixteenth with 5 points in what has been the worst start in history for the Capitol and for Mourinho. Just one win in six games and it feels like the defensive solidity that was key last season is gone.
“We have a history Smalling (injured), just look at how many games we’ve won without him. When players are missing there is a lack of solidity, but to say that solidity is lacking just for that reason is incorrect. Solidity is a consequence of teamwork,” he reflected after the game in his remarks to Dazn.
“Every shot on goal is a goal. And it’s not the fault of Rui Patricio, but this is the situation. It happened to us in every game. When they arrived they scored a goal. “I feel the weakness on the bench and surely the players feel it too,” he added.
In addition, he said that it was his worst start: “It was the worst start of my career, but it was also the first time in the history of Rome that two European finals were played.”
“This is the group we have and the group where we have to move forward. There is no more story. This is the squad we have, with its quality and its problems. There is no time to cry. The next game is only to be three points , but it is very important,” he said.
