MANCHESTER, England – Jose Mourinho, the Manchester United coach, said he was frustrated to see his players apparently ignoring his instructions when they were on the pitch.
United was embarrbaded by the slow pace of the games this season, but before the clashes between the Champions League and the Young Boys on Tuesday, which saw tickets to the over-the-counter game, Mourinho revealed that he was asking his players to do the opposite.
"I want the team to start strong, be strong against the opposition, and not wait," he said.
"Probably you [the media] or the fans think that Jose told them to start slowly and play nicely and easily or wait for them to react. It's exactly the opposite. I want the team to go away immediately and it's a little frustrating. "
The Mourinho team can reserve its place in the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday if it defeats Young Boys at Old Trafford and Valencia does not beat Juventus in Turin.
United's manager accused his players of lacking "heart and desire" in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday and he does not want a repeat against the Swiss champions.
"It's not a crucial game because if we do not win, we still do not depend on other results, so it's not a crucial game, but I want to play the minute." one as if it was our last chance to qualify, "said Mourinho. I said.
"I want to play this game as a playoff game and the team we are going to choose is a team that is trying to have that happiness to deal with this little pressure on the players that is not a real pressure because the reality is that we have one more match to play.
"Forget [the last group game] against Valencia. Let's play this game as a game we have to win. "
