Jose Mourinho

of quality to the team or to be more accurate and fair i think we brought more balance to the team because we put players in the right positions we put midfield players playing in midfield the team improved a lot we had two one we could have two two and um i'm i'm happy i'm fine i'm fine with uh with what we we had in terms of individual performances the two goals are two very bad goals conceded but

the team not used to play together, players in different positions, no concentration, no focus.

That's fine for me.

Yeah, today against Man City, against Swansea, against Arsenal, the next match Southampton and the last one against Crystal Palace.

And when people say that we gambled by going to Europa League, we didn't gamble.

Nobody can play...

two big competitions with 15 players and this is what we have at the time.

We didn't gamble.

It was compulsory.

What we did was compulsory options.

So I'm happy with the situation today.

They played 90 minutes, the ones that need to play.

I rest a few people, no injuries, and one less match to play, because in this moment, the Premier League for us is just matches we don't want to play.

In terms of the Premier League, what do you think you need for next season to mount a serious challenge?

I don't want to think about it in this moment.

I want to think about the final I have to play.

What do you put the defeat down to?

Disappointing?

The result, not the performance at all.

I like very, very much individual performances.
