👉 Here is AS ROMA Coach Jose Mourinho press conference on Saturday 21 August 2021 ahead of the Serie A Week 1 game AS Roma vs Fiorentina on Sunday 22 August at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy at 20:45.

Mourinho: “I won’t make a lot of changes for this game. We need to play games, we need that practice. We have four games before the first international break and we need to build up that match practice.”

Mourinho: “The fans can make a big difference. They can play their part in the game. “If we play with the passion and all the elements I want, then I know they will be behind us. And that will make it a lot harder for any visiting team.”

Mourinho: “What I’m lacking right now is the three points from tomorrow. “I can’t ask for any more than the efforts the club have shown in the transfer market. ‘Time’ has always been a key word for this project.”

Mourinho: “Fiorentina have made a great choice with their coach. I congratulate them on that. “In my opinion their team is already playing pretty well in Italiano’s image, considering how long they have been working together. It will be a tough game.”

Mourinho: “Abraham will be in the squad tomorrow. He’s been training on his own, because those are the rules at the moment. “He’s had pre-season at Chelsea, but it’s been a busy week for him with travel and everything else. But he’ll be there tomorrow.”

At what point is Bryan Reynolds at in his development? And what can you say about Alessandro Florenzi’s departure?

“There’s not a lot I can say yet about Reynolds – we’ve only been working together for a month or so. Physically he has great attributes to be a full-back, that’s clear. Tactically and technically he needs to improve, but he’s coming from a completely different environment so that is normal. He’s never played in Europe, he’s still very young.

“As for Florenzi, I want to wish him well for the season – I hope he’s happy in Milan, although I also hope that he ends up finishing behind us. We spoke together once, and on that occasion he was clear about what he wanted to do and that was to go to Milan. The club listened to the player’s wishes, which were to go.”

You have often mentioned the word ‘time’. Today you’ve said you will hide behind that word. In the past, in all the clubs you have been at, the time has always been now for you. So is it Roma that has changed that for you, or have you changed yourself?

“I said that I would hide behind the word ‘time’ in order to get away from you questions… Roma is a giant club, it’s a club on a par with others I have worked for in my career in terms of its history, its fanbase, the city it is in.

“But the other aspect is always the nature of the project. When I went to Chelsea, or to Inter Milan, or to Real Madrid the projects there were all clear: win now. Now, not tomorrow. But Roma are in a different situation.

“The club has not won for a while, and last season it finished a long way from the top, or from fourth spot either. So clearly changing that will take time. Numbers tell the story, and the numbers say that we haven’t won for a number of years and we need to make up a lot of points on our rivals. So I will say it again: time.

“With a lot work internally, invisible work done behind the scenes, and time then the results will come. But I will say it again: for tomorrow, for the next one against Salernitana … Sundays are for winning.”

Can you explain your approach with the full-backs? On Thursday we saw both full-backs push up a lot, although the crosses didn’t always come off…

“I will start with a joke. In England I always used to say that I missed the press conferences in Italy, because here we talk more about tactics – whereas they only want to talk about controversies. Now I’m back in Italy, though, I don’t want to talk about tactics because you are too good at it!

“That apart, though, you are right. We had a lot of crosses in Turkey and we messed up a number of them, it’s true. But we can set it up so both full-backs push up, only one pushes up, or even sometimes neither of them push up. There are different ways of arriving at the same target.

“Football has changed, you can’t have just one way of playing. That way you make things harder for your opponent. To get to our targets we need to win games, and to win games we need to score goals. To score goals we need to get in the final third, and there are different ways of doing that.

“Being able to cross a ball is usually a quality that a player either has or he doesn’t. Sometimes it’s about confidence, though, or it’s an unlucky spell. When I look at Rick Karsdorp, Matias Vina or Riccardo Calafiori I can say that they all know how to cross the ball well. But in Trabzon it was Henrikh Mkhitaryan who delivered the cross that created the first goal, and he’s not a full-back. So we will try to build up our attacking play so we have a number of different options.”

Which teams in Italy do you think are currently ahead of Roma?

“You guys already know, this is an easy question. The league table speaks for itself. When there are just a few points between teams then you can say they are of the same level, but when there are 25 points difference, or 16 or 17 … let’s leave it like that.

“We want to focus on ourselves. But the approach doesn’t change. We always want to win the game in front of us. And, when we go up against sides that last season finished above us, that approach will not change. We will be trying to win.”
