Jose Mourinho was utterly pleased with the way his team played against Claudio Ranieri’s Fulham. The Portuguese praised his players for their undying spirit, alluring performance, and consistent attack.
Here are a few quotes of the Boss covered by MUTV.
WHAT PLEASED YOU MOST?
“The result, the performance, the spirit, the fans, my players, everything and, if the second half was not as amazing as the first one, I blame Ranieri, because he improved his team. [He is] a clever man, very experienced, an old fox. He read the game, knows why we dominated them so easily in the first half, made changes and improved his team dramatically.”
JUAN MATA
“Juan is Juan. The quality, the brain, they are always there. An honest man, a club man. When he plays, he plays for the team. When he doesn’t play, he still fights for the team. He’s one of these guys that we all respect and we all know that Juan is Juan. That is the best way to describe him.”
GIVE EVERYTHING FOR THE CLUB
“The players understood after Arsenal when, with a bad result, you can be happy. They wanted to bring that same mentality to the game today. When the players give everything, the feeling is still positive. When you give everything for the club, you are a better team.”
RESTING PLAYERS FOR VALENCIA?
“Yeah, we need too. We go to Valencia, there are people that need to rest, there are people that need to play. It’s a question of trust, a question of justice too, so if I say Romelu Lukaku plays, obviously he deserves to play. If I say a kid that is working every day as a tiger and is not playing much like Andreas Pereira is going to have a start, I’m going to make changes in the team, because we managed to qualify.”
DIOGO DALOT IS NEW GARY NEVILLE?
Everybody knows that he has fantastic potential
“I don’t want to compare, especially not the number of titles but he is probably the same age as Gary Neville when he came into the first team. Probably he can follow Neville in this dynamic of more than 10 years as United’s right-back, with amazing conditions to improve, because as I was saying he’s 19 years old.”
