José Mourinho on Benfica’s title chances: I’m holding on to the... | OneFootball

José Mourinho is not throwing in the towel when it comes to the title. In the press conference, where he addressed the difficulties against Estoril, the Benfica coach was confronted with the points difference to their rivals and admitted that nothing is lost yet.

"Maybe people don’t think like I do, but for me, the transition of the calendar means absolutely nothing. New Year’s Eve, the raisins, the underwear, none of that means anything to me," began José Mourinho, making it clear that his focus hasn’t changed.

"Regarding the league, I cling to the math, because there are still a lot of points at stake. And I hold on to the fact that we are the only team that hasn’t lost yet in Portuguese competitions," added the Benfica coach in the press conference.

"We’re not a team from another world, but we are a tough team to beat, with our strengths and weaknesses. Also, having lost only one out of 14 games, against Bayer, in a match where we dominated the opponent, also gives me strength to continue," pointed out José Mourinho.

"We can’t forget that your success also depends on others. Porto is having an extraordinary first half of the season, which doesn’t give a chance even to those who are doing well. If this Porto were last year’s Porto, we would have other chances," he acknowledged in the press conference.
