Roma could vent their rage over the 4-0 loss to Udinese in this Europa League match, Jose Mourinho warns. “Respect Ludogorets, but we are not here for tourism, we are here to win,” Mourinho says.
The Giallorossi earned a spot in this competition by placing sixth in Serie A and also by taking first place in the Europa Conference League.
“Since we qualified twice for this competition, we truly deserve to be here. Without establishing goals for reaching the Final, Semi-Final, or anything else, we want to move forward. We are here to respect Ludogorets, but we are also here to win, the coach stated in his press conference. Our goal is to advance from the group.”
“We need to be prepared for anything because we know they are a good side, but it’s hard to forecast how they will play.”
“They have expertise playing European football, have a large number of international players, and will undoubtedly face challenges, but we are not in town for tourism or to save players. It’s a group phase, not a knockout, so there is room for error, but from experience, I know that if you start a group well, you’ll be in a better position to manage it and finish successfully.”
The group’s top two finishers advance to the Europa League second round, while the third-place team moves down to the Conference League.
“We don’t want to return to the Conference League; we want to continue in the Europa League. Moreover, it depends on how we play. If we are in a position of dominance, they must defend; if not, we will be on the defensive. So let’s come here with all of our might and try to impose our game.”
After suffering a shocking 4-0 Serie A loss to Udinese over the weekend that got off to the worst possible start with Destiny Udogie capitalizing on a Rick Karsdorp blunder after five minutes, Roma has to get back on track.
Mourinho stated, “We need to start tomorrow at 0-0 because, practically, at Udine, it started already 1-0 for them.
