“My Warriors”: Jose Mourinho Films His Players Watching Themselves at Dinner

• Jose Mourinho guided AS Roma to their second European final in two seasons
• Roma progressed to the Europa League final after a 1-0 aggregate victory over Bayer Leverkusen
• The team hosted a dinner which Mourinho shared the video on Instagram

Jose Mourinho has branded his players as warriors after their hard-fought game against Bayer Leverkusen to reach the UEFA Europa League final.

Roma travelled to Germany with a one-goal advantage, knowing a draw would ensure progress, thanks to Edoardo Bove’s first European goal last week at the Stadio Olimpico.

Mourinho took a cautious approach to the game at the BayArena in Germany and ensured their opponents, managed by his former player Xabi Alonso, were frustrated despite dominating the game.

According to Sports Illustrated, Giallorossi earned a place in the final against Sevilla, who are 100% in the Europa League finals, at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary, on May 31.

Mourinho filmed Roma's dinner

The team hosted a dinner at the team hotel shortly after the game. The 60-year-old filmed it and uploaded it on Instagram with an interesting caption.

“The warriors are eating, I’m too tired for that. See you tomorrow Roma,” he captioned the video.

One thing which can be made out of the video is that the television was showing a replay of the game they had just finished, which earned the players the game warrior from the manager.

Mourinho reveals next ambition

It would take a miracle for Roma to make the top four in the Italian Serie A. They are six points behind fourth-placed Lazio with two games to go in the season.

The team could play Champions League football next season if they beat Sevilla, which is Jose’s next target.

“The final? I think of it as any other final. We want to bring the trophy home,” he told DAZN via Roma Press.

Mourinho slammed for ugly tactics

The Special One is a master of dark tactics, famously dubbed Parking the Bus. As Sports Brief reported, fans slammed Mourinho for his tactics against Leverkusen.

His team were totally dominated. The Germans enjoyed 72% of the possession and played 23 shots to Roma’s one, which was off-target, but could not find a way through.
