November 9-after Rome’s draw with Sasolo, head coach Jose Mourinho said: “the team’s efforts have been betrayed by the attitude of a non-professional player.”
In this game, Abraham broke the two-month shortage of goals in Serie A, but Pinamonti equalized the score at close range five minutes later.
Mourinho said: “We have done very well, positive attitude, professional, serious, the last two days have been very difficult.” This is a team that wants to beat a strong opponent and I am sorry that the team’s efforts have been betrayed by the attitude of a non-professional player. I didn’t say that about Ibanes against Lazio because mistakes are part of the game and his attitude is never a problem. ”
“Today the player’s unprofessional attitude is unfair to his teammates, which makes me very disappointed. But getting a point away from home is not a negative result. I am very satisfied with the overall attitude of the team. ”
When asked who had the wrong attitude and betrayed his teammates, Mourinho refused to answer.
“I won’t tell you. There are 16 players on the pitch tonight and I like the attitude of 15 of them. I told this man that he only had this attitude today, not all the time. Now we want to end the game with all three points. In January, he needs to find another club for himself. ”
Once again, the Roma striker is quite weak. Mourinho said: “I can’t ask too much of a kid like Walpato who plays for the youth team. I can’t expect him to light up the ball, but he’s doing well.” Obviously, I am very happy that he has talent, but I can’t expect him to put the whole team on his shoulders. I asked Abraham why there was such an attitude today but not before. Today, in addition to scoring goals, he also won the duel, he fought with his body, created space, took the ball deep, and he played very well. ”
