Jose Mourinho discussed this evening 2-2 draw between Roma and Salernitana at the Stadio Olimpico.

“The first half lacked intensity and desire, there was little concentration on our end,” Mourinho told DAZN at full-time.

“Maybe I rotated too many players today. But my situation is not easy: we have a final to play in a few days and many players who are tired or at the limit. There are changes that are practically obligatory changes.”

“It’s not easy to manage this situation. The game was difficult, Salernitana played as if it were the Champions League final, which I like. It’s not a criticism, you have to do it that way and they did it.”

“It’s a result we didn’t want, but it’s the result we got. Now there are two league games left and the final, which is more important of course, but we have two games to play.”

“Dybala? He’s not doing well and I’m not optimistic for the final.”
