Mourinho dodges Benfica question: I'm not the right person | OneFootball

After the victory of Benfica against Napoli (2-0), in the sixth round of the Champions League, José Mourinho highlighted the play of the second goal, scored by Leandro Barreiro, and mentioned, in an ironic tone, that his team can now make two or three touches and play "something", but he says he is not the ideal coach to talk about artistic scores.

"I am not the right person to talk about artistic scores and great analyses, not long ago... I have a problem with this gentleman here next to me, I don't like to read, but he insists on sending me things at eight in the morning, or at eleven at night or midnight and doesn't let me sleep," he began by saying.

"I remember one that was about the construction: 'Otamendi and ball forward...' I think we improved a little, didn't we? If the second goal instead of being ours, was from another jersey, it would be a very high artistic score. I am happy with the individual and collective performance, for remaining alive in the competition which is the most important. That was the goal. We will be there."

After four defeats in the first four rounds of this UEFA Champions League, Benfica has now achieved its second consecutive victory and reaches six points. Before Leandro Barreiro's goal, Richard Ríos opened the scoring at 20 minutes.

The red emblem will thus return to the field next Sunday, December 14, against Moreirense, in a match related to the 14th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 6:00 PM, at the Estádio Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas.
