Mourinho on Roma loss to Udinese
Speaking to DAZN after the game, Mourinho explained why his team did not turn up against Udinese.
He said, "Difficult game, difficult component, team that knows how to play this type of game. We can't go back because they know how to manage game times well, fouls, and if you lose you are already in trouble.
"We entered well with an opportunity from Paulo right away, Paulo who in my opinion was the best on the pitch.
"We did not do any danger, even the post could give another story to the game, or even the penalty not given.
"But when you lose 4-0 there is no question of a referee, but this is my law. It's hard for us and the fans, but it's life. Tomorrow there is training, Thursday the match, let's go on."
