Mourinho: If I win I will become the first one to win all European trophies
Roma manager José Mourinho shared his thoughts on Roma's upcoming Conference League final in Tirana.
"We're at the end of this journey, at the end of the season. We played a 'final' at the weekend, to secure UEFA Europa League football for next season, and we did it. We have written history to be in a European final but, of course, being in a final you have to win it and write history."
"We managed to keep the enthusiasm at a good level, without exaggerating and keeping the focus on playing. The players are focused, with the right mindset and joy - you need joy to play this kind of game."
"Mkhitaryan returned to training - it was important for him, and I trust how he feels about his physical shape. He said he is ready to play."
"It's a final. I have nothing else on my mind until tomorrow. This final is like the first one for me – nothing has changed. If I win I will become the first one to win all European trophies, but that's only if I win."
"The 'Special One' story is an old story. It was when I was at the beginning [of my career]. When you have more maturity and stability, you think more about the people and less about yourself. It's an old story. I don't believe in magic – when you arrive at a final after a season of work, the work is done. It's the team's moment, not the moment of an individual."
