Roma coach Mourinho happy after victory over Juventus: But we remain inconsistent

AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho was left delighted after their 1-0 win against Juventus.

Gianluca Mancini struck for the Giallorossi on Sunday.

“I am still sad if I think back to Cremona and that is difficult to accept," Mourinho told DAZN.

“When we play as a team and the players give their all, we can bring home the result. I am happy for this victory, but I am still not over the performance in Cremona.

Roma won because the players were better and gave 100 per cent. I don't want to say that tactical organisation allowed us to win the game, the game was won with the attitude of the players.

“I respect Allegri and his players, they are talented and in their best form of the season. When they build the wall, we are not a team who score many goals, so the important thing was to keep the ball and not allow them to build intensity. When they counter, it is difficult for us, but we defended well and Rui Patricio performed a few miracles too.

“This is important, because when you are playing against Juve, the goalkeeper has to have a great night."

Mourinho added, “The problem is that you never know when Roma will get a result. We are aware of our limitations and try to hide them. If we are not at 100 per cent, then we will suffer. In isolated matches, we can bring home the result, even against the top teams, but over the course of a season is more difficult."
