Mourinho laughs as journalist says "Ninguém me quer" amid questions over Benfica future | OneFootball

José Mourinho’s Benfica press conference featured a light moment that left him laughing, as he downplayed questions over his future. According to Glorioso 1904, the exchange came as he dismissed the subject and moved discussion on.

He labelled it a non-issue, asked for another question, then turned it back by asking if the reporter could guarantee staying at RTP. The journalist replied, "Posso porque ninguém me quer", which drew laughter in the room.

On team matters, Mourinho said Richard Ríos is fine. The midfielder skipped the first training day of the week, then completed sessions without any problems.

Discussing the chase for second place, he kept a determined tone while recognising the maths. With four games left and 12 points in it, he said it remains possible, but stressed pragmatism.

Looking to the derby, he preferred to stay optimistic and think they can win tomorrow. He rejected claims big games have lacked spectacle, noting one meeting with Porto had four goals and the game in Porto was the only 0-0.
