More of this, please.
A moment that is worth watching.
In the midst of so many basic questions that are asked to José Mourinho (and most coaches) on a weekly basis, the journalist of a smaller media outlet [Bola na Rede] asked the following question:
"Mr, you already highlighted your game plan of attracting Napoli's pressure to then be able to explore the space in behind, I wanted to ask you about the build-up. What was the importance of Barrenechea [CDM] dropping wide and playing facing towards the opposition, and then Aursnes moving wide in the other side? How important was that in the build-up?"
Mourinho: "You know your football. Well done, you know your football... Maybe they'll get you to substitute one of the other 'know it alls' that don't actually know anything. Great question."
"Our CDM's wide positioning caused them trouble because they only had 2 midfielders, Elmas and McTominay, so if they pressed we would have more space in the middle, and if they didn't press, Enzo would have time on the ball."

🚨🚨🎙️| Bruno Fernandes: "The main thing I want.. and I was even joking with Josh [Zirkzee] the other day, we were talking about the awards and they were saying like, 'oh, who's gonna win the award of Player of the Season?', they were kind of putting a joke.
"And I said that I hope next year I am not even involved in the name – and do the same season as I did this year, and not be involved in the name of winning that trophy.
"Because that will mean you step up, Amad will step up, Garnacho will step up, Rasmus will step up... if they start scoring goals, start doing assists, start running backwards and tackling, they will be the ones having attention and not me, and I will be the most happy person in the world.
"I'm there to help my teammates get the best out of them and that's all I want to do because I know as soon as I can get the best out of them, my team will be much better." [@CBSSportsGolazo]
