Serie A: Winning must be a priority for Roma, Mourinho declares

Roma coach Jose Mourinho strongly believes that winning is the most important thing for him at Serie A.

According to Mourinho, the result is the priority over the style.

“The result is always the most important thing,” replied Mourinho. “If you play attacking football and lose 5-4, then it’s better to just get a 0-0 and pick up a point.

“It’s impossible to be top of the table unless you are a balanced and complete team. All coaches want to play good football, but I am above all focused on the result. It is possible to do both, but the result is more important.

“The fundamental thing in football is to defend well. We want a team that creates chances, but also defends well. We lost our last two away games despite scoring two goals, and that is a bad sign. Conceding six goals in two games is too many.

“It’s important to be wary of Empoli, because we know their qualities and they are the team who put in the most crosses during these opening six Serie A games.”
