José Mourinho on Ajax v Benfica win: Chaotic | OneFootball

José Mourinho has no doubt that it was a deserved victory. In the aftermath of the match, where Benfica beat Ajax by 2-0, the Special One acknowledged that there were difficult moments, but pointed out that the Eagles were solid defensively and, even if the match had lasted 150 minutes, the home team would not have scored.

"The last 10 minutes of the first half were somewhat chaotic", José Mourinho began his analysis, referring to the incidents that marked the main moments, particularly at the end of the first half.

"We lost a bit of control, we would win the ball back and then lose it again right after", admitted the Portuguese coach in statements to Sport TV, acknowledging that the Dutch team created several dangerous situations that could have resulted in goals.

"In the second half we weren’t dangerous, it’s true, and we also couldn’t get out, but they had only one chance, through Klaassen, and after that the game was completely controlled by us", added the Special One at the end of the match in Amsterdam.

"The feeling in the last 15 minutes is that if, instead of 15, there had been 150, they still wouldn’t have scored. That solidity and effort from the players, the joy of the group after the win, was a beautiful thing", he concluded, admitting that Benfica were worthy winners.
