After the meeting, which was hosted by the stadium (New Friuli), Mourinho said, “I prefer losing a game 4-0, than losing in 4 meetings with a 1-0.”
He continued, “We only lost 3 points, and four matches mean 12 points. It is difficult, but we always look forward. We have 10 points, and we will go our way.”
Despite the loss, the veteran coach praised the performance of his Argentine star, Paulo Dybala, and said in this regard, “Dybala was the best player on the field, despite this result.”
“We missed many chances in an open match, and before Udinese’s first goal, we had a clear chance. The opponent was able to take advantage of the opportunities he created. We will think about next Thursday’s match (in the European League against Bulgarian Ludogorets Razgrad).”
Although there was a controversy in the match, not to award a penalty in favor of the “Gialorusi”, the Portuguese coach ended things quickly, saying: “When you lose 4-0, you cannot talk about the referees.”
