José Mourinho

perform in a way where the tactical plan for the team was exactly there.

We should have had a little bit more.

I know that we had a big chance that I thought Zlatan was going to score and this is the game, you score that goal, 1-0, goodbye, it's finished.

But I think we missed a little bit of sharpness through the middle.

Between the positions where Pogba was, I was expecting a bit more of penetration.

And in the moment I was thinking about to play Rashford in this position behind Zlatan is the moment the kid was with Krems.

And I made a change and at that moment I thought, we didn't win it, it's difficult to win now, let's not lose it.

So I tried to keep a certain balance.

I make that was the game that we planned.

We don't want to control the ball, to control the game by having the ball all the time.

We know that they want to press our first phase of the building up.

We know that all the passes between Bailly and Smalling in the direction of Fellaini and Herrera would be passes that they want to press with these two number eights they play and pressing forwards.

We know that that transition when they lose the ball is really strong and high, so we adapt to that.

to the situation.

We knew that it would be very difficult for them to score a goal.

What we always thought was that we would score the goal to win the match, which we tried.

We tried to start really strong in both halves, but they are a good team.

They are not...

The last wonder of the world, like you like to say they are, but they are a very good team, so we need to adapt a little bit to that.

Yes, very disappointed.
