Roma’s head coach commented on the upcoming meeting with Sevilla in the final of the European Cup tournament.
Jose Mourinho considers the teams equal chances in the Europa League final. Remember that the Portuguese specialist team – Roma – will play against Espanyol Sevilla.
According to the “special”, the opponents have more experience and have an easier path to the main battle, at the same time, the Romans have cooperation.
“We deserve to play in this final. We have been talking about it for a long time. The journey is long, not like our opponent who is from the Champions League. We want to play, the time has come. We’ve worked hard to be in the best uniform of the trophy.
History does not play football. My colleague thinks differently, I respect him. He thinks history makes Sevilla a favorite and I respect that. We are in the finals because we deserve it. They have a history that we don’t have. For them to play in the final is a common thing, for us it is an unusual event.
Sevilla have a great team, two great teams to be exact, because they have 25 high level players. They are all top-level professionals, many options in Seville. But they don’t know my guys and they don’t know my team as a team.
I had more opportunities to play in European competitions, but Mendilibar was from the same generation as me, with the same gray hair. We are on equal footing. The same with the players: more experience at Sevilla, but we’ve been playing for two years,” Mourinho was quoted as saying on UEFA’s official website.
It will be remembered that the final of the Europa League will be held on May 31. The match will take place in the capital of Hungary, Budapest, at the Puskas Arena stadium. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.
