Roma defender Diego Llorente calls Jose Mourinho ‘the perfect coach; He’s very important for me, he brought me here.’ The Giallorossi centre-back was speaking with Sportmediaset ahead of the Roma’s Coppa Italia match with Cremonese on Wednesday night, and heaped praise on Mourinho:
“He’s the perfect coach. He’s very important for me, he brought me here, he is the perfect coach for the team and for the fans, I would be happy if he stayed.”
“I look at him from the perspective of a player, but the fans look at Mou’s ability to connect with them as a person. He’s special that way.”
“Cremonese? Coppa Italia is a competition that excites the team, we have prepared very well for this match, there is maximum respect for Cremonese. If we do well it will be a simple match, otherwise it will be complicated.”
“Defenders? We are few but we have to work with this group and not think if we are few or many, if a defender arrives this month, then fine – if he doesn’t arrive, we must be patient and work with what we have.”
