The Benfica coach saw his team defeated by the emblem of the English capital, but took the opportunity to preview the game against Porto in the next round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, as he had done in the flash interview.

The Benfica coach gave a series of interviews after the defeat to Chelsea, one of them to TNT Sports, where he discussed the game and upcoming challenges: "A defeat is a defeat, but there are defeats and defeats... This should be a foundation for the players, we could have come away with a draw".

"The loss to Qarabag was worse. I think this team is building its confidence, the players remained stable and we tried to win. It wasn't enough, but for a coach who arrived ten days ago, it's positive", explained the Benfica coach,

Then, José Mourinho spoke about the upcoming challenges for the Eagles, games with a high degree of difficulty for the Portuguese championship and the Champions League: "The next two games are FC Porto, away,... and Newcastle away [laughter from those present]. It is what it is".
