Mourinho abruptly after the match against Liverpool. "It's not even my training!" Transfery.info

Manager José Mourinho did not bite his tongue at the last press conference

Manchester United is preparing for the new season in the United States, where he is taking part in a friendly tournament. Saturday's clash with Liverpool ended with a stern defeat 1: 4 against the "Red Devils", but Mourinho says the result is irrelevant because, according to him, the 39, his team did not appear on the field. The director also said that he was still waiting for transfers

– I would like two other players to join us. But I think I have nothing to count on. It's possible that I get one. I gave the club a list of five names a few months ago and I'm waiting to see if it's possible to get one – said The Special One.

– A defeat with Liverpool? It has nothing to do with transfers. The real reinforcements are Pogba, Fellaini, Lindelof, Rashford, Lingard, Matić, Valencia. They are reinforcements. [Zawodnicy, którzy zagrali z Liverpoolem] This is not our team … We started the game with almost half of the players, who will not be in our team on August 9th. They will just not be there. This is not our composition. Strengthen, the players I want to bring back are different, but it's not my team here. This is not half of my list, up to 30%.

– We had four or five players devastated because they care about the club, try to do their best, put their health at risk, because they do not want to let the kids play their own way with Milan or Liverpool. For example, Eric Bailly was not supposed to play, but when he saw that Smalling was suffering from a warm-up injury, he decided that he did not want to be caught again. child on the field

– We try to play these matches as best we can. until they have lost their fuel. When that happened, we could say goodbye. Liverpool had the majority of their players, he could rotate them. Salah played 45 minutes in this match, 45 will play in the next match. We can not do that. Herrera played 90 minutes, Pereira played 90 minutes … the fuel ran out. What did this match give me?

The tournament is an opportunity for American fans to see the biggest European teams up close. Mourinho claims, however, that people should not attend such games.

– The mood in the stadium was very good, but if I were instead of the fans, I would not come to the match. I would not spend that money to see these teams.

Then the Portuguese commented on the situation of Nemanja Maticia and Anthony Martial. The first is injured, while the second went to Paris to accompany his partner at the birth of their second child. Mourinho does not hide dissatisfaction about it.

– Matić will be out early in the season. He came back from the World Cup with injuries and did not have enough time to recover. He went to a specialist in Philadelphia, immediately underwent surgery to avoid wasting time.

– Martial? He has a child, he is already born. Beautiful child, full of health, thank God. He should be here with us, but he is not here.

– I just hope that boys who are on well deserved vacation will heal at least a little bit and that one of them will act like Rashford and Jones, that he will return to the training to help the team because otherwise we will have problems early in the season.
