Mourinho to Sky Sport: “It seems that Dybala has been here for years. Matic is a brain on the pitch. Smalling? Strange not to be in the national team “

AS ROMA NEWS – In addition to speaking at the press conference José Mourinho he also spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport to speak on the eve of Rome-Betis of the Europa League, staged tomorrow night at the Olimpico. “The game comes after a defeat in the last at home against Atalanta, but from that defeat we came out with a feeling of superiority and I want this feeling tomorrow too..

They have an advantage, because they have six points and we have three. I want a stadium full of emotions. It will be a difficult game, they have an excellent coach. The Europa League has more competitive teams than the Conference ”.

About Dybala: “His insertion was natural. It is natural to have wanted a player like Paulo. It’s important that he didn’t feel the burden of coming here and being an important player. It is all natural, it seems that he has been here for years and this naturalness is synonymous with quality. He is a boy of the same level as the player he is ”.

On Smalling: “It’s strange that he’s not in the English national team, it’s strange to me. I am in a privileged position to compare this Smalling to that of 4-5 years ago. I don’t know if he is physically regenerated, if it is the joy of living here, if it is the joy of being at Roma. What I do know is that he is a very high level player. He’s having a great time and I’m very happy with him, ”he added speaking of the singles.

About Matic: “This is the third time he has played on a team with me. The first time was ten years ago, obviously that has changed. He has lost something but he also has something more. He’s a brain on the pitch, he’s important to us ”.
