Question for Mourinho on Servette, he answers the journalist in French
The journalist asks José Mourinho if this is the most important match for Servette, he asks him: “Why do you say that? and the Swiss journalist replies: “Because it is a fundamental match”. Mou replies again in excellent French: ” It is more important to us than to you. I know our ambitions, Servette has a good coach, I played against him in United-Arsenal. It won’t be easy, I have the utmost respect, I hope that the fans enjoy the evening in this beautiful city but that they return home with zero points”

Mourinho responds to Paredes’ moment and his characteristics
“It’s all true, he sees the game well and suffers a bit when not in possession. He’s a finished product, a made player, I’ve always liked him in the attacking phase and now I can say that I love him with the ball, the with him the team always has possession of the ball, often more than the opponent. He has an important connection with the defenders and the offensive part, he enjoys the ball. Without the ball he is a little bit like us, we are not very fast, with a very strong and reactive transition It’s not just Leo, it’s us. If we are balanced this type of problem becomes less noticeable, in the last match I liked him a lot. I liked Matic a lot, he played for me in three different clubs, but I also like Paredes a lot and I love it when we’re in possession”
12:40
Will Bove start against Servette?
“Let me be a bit of an idiot: when you talk about Bove you have to remember who made Bove. He was going on loan to Serie C. He plays tomorrow. He’s a healthy boy, he has no medical history, he always works incredibly even when he’s not playing, It’s a precious quality in today’s football. Not all kids have this mental strength. It’s extraordinary, every minute he’s on the pitch playing he grows, he has a great sense of responsibility. In the second half against Frosinone he was able to insert himself more , his horrible coach is very proud of having given him the chance to move from Serie C to being important for Roma and Italian football”

Final goal to win the Europa League?
Mourinho says: “The first objective is to qualify, the second objective is to finish first so as not to make the playoffs like last year. It’s premature to talk about where we can get to and then we’ll see. There are high-level teams and it’s easy to see the sharks that will arrive from the Champions League. Last year was difficult and we got to the bottom. Let’s see, but step by step and we’ll see”
12:32
The mental aspect of Roma’s players and Mourinho’s absence on the bench
“I have faith in the players and my staff. Not being on the bench can have a small impact but I don’t want to go beyond that. Then it also depends on how the match goes, I don’t think this makes a big difference, we won with me and without me. With another coach, winning 7-0 as happened against Empoli would have been crazy, for us it seemed normal. Against Frosinone we won but it’s not that we did different things in the analysis, we also saw the things done badly. We won, but not everything was perfect. But it’s easier to work on the positive things, they increase confidence and self-esteem”
12:30
Mourinho, the turnover and the tiredness of the players
“It’s a real situation, a real problem for those who play in Europe and have less balanced squads. In other countries there’s a lot of talk about it, from injuries to the quality of play it’s talked about and people understand. We’ll make some changes: Dybala will be in bench and not just him, they will rest in 3-4. But there won’t be a total turnover because we want to win”
