Roma defeated CSKA Sofia in the Conference League. Mourinho’s men won 3-2 and Borja Mayoral scored a great goal that prompted the praise of the Portuguese coach. Despite the fact that Mourinho was upset for having conceded two goals, he had no qualms about praising the Madrid striker, whom he had sentenced a few weeks ago after the 6-1 suffered on October 21 against Bodo / Glimt. It is not the first time that Mayoral has given the Portuguese coach a joy. Without going any further, a month ago it saved him from a ridiculous one, precisely, in the return match against the modest Norwegian team, by giving the assistance that was 2-2.
“I am happy because we won, but the two goals we have received are unacceptable. It is not possible to go from 3-0 to 3-2. Victory is the only thing I like about tonight. I liked Borja Mayoral, apart from the goal, not only because of his attitude because he is someone who always works. The quality of his game was one of the few things that I liked about the team ”, declared the Portuguese coach.
Roma have passed as Group C leaders in the Conference League, thanks in part to Mayoral, which has been decisive in the last two games. Mourinho’s words after the game seem to imply a pardon for Borja Mayoral, who has only counted on 182 minutes this season. The ostracism to which the Madrid striker has been subjected has caused him to be willing to change of scene in January. Fiorentina seems the most interested club at the moment.
