Benfica Defeated Braga In My Book Despite Draw Result – Mourinho

Benfica manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he does not accept the club’s 2-2 draw against Braga. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, as far as he is concerned, his team won the game 3-2, and he feels proud of himself because winning at Braga is not an easy feat.

Mourinho sarcastically added that the referee officiated a great match, and it was a complicated win.

His words, “Without humor, I congratulate SC Braga on many things. I congratulate the president, because I returned many years later and seeing this training center is fantastic. Congratulations to the team, which is good, to the coach who is building a great team, and even to the fans who create a great atmosphere. As for the game, I think it’s a great victory for us.

A great first half, in which we conceded two goals, due to two of our own mistakes. In the second half we were very strong, we completely dominated the game, we scored two goals, and winning the game in Braga is very difficult; after being down, winning was very complicated.

We won 3-2! That’s the football we have, I just do the best I can in my job and dedicate myself as much as I can. I’m not entirely happy with myself because I couldn’t do what I wanted for 90 minutes. But we won 3-2, you know I’m speaking ironically, otherwise I would be severely penalised.

The club as an institution may or may not do something, possibly following the path we’re getting used to and accustomed to. I just train and make the assessment. The fact that we played against SC Braga in a short time means I don’t want to go into great tactical analysis. To dissect why they were better in the first half and why we were able to be superior in the second. Good game and good referee, he officiated a positive match, but games and points are decided by these kinds of decisions, and that’s what happened.”

WOW.

Jose Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.

Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.

His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
