José Mourinho was spotted walking around the city of Bodo this morning and looked unimpressed by a headline of a local paper remembering Roma‘s 6-1 loss in October.
The Giallorossi visit Bodo/Glimt tonight in the first leg of the Conference League quarter-finals. Mourinho’s men lost the same fixture 6-1 in a group stage game at the beginning of the season. The Portuguese coach said yesterday that the last match in Norway was the ‘worst in his career.’
Sky Sport Italia spotted the Special One walking in the city centre with some of his staff members this morning and the Special One jokingly tried to hide when he saw the journalist. He still found some time to briefly reply to a few questions.
“Now it’s time to relax, but the moment of truth will come,” he said.
Mourinho tried to leave the interview continuing his walk when he was shown the front page of a Norwegian newspaper where local journalists remembered Bodo’s 6-1 win in October, writing: ‘Good Luck.’
Mourinho didn’t reply but only commented: “There are two games now, and just one team goes to the semi-final.”

Roma released a lengthier interview with the Special One in the morning: “They started the season in the Champions League, when people talk about the Conference League sometimes they forget that there are many teams in the quarter-finals who didn’t start in this competition,” he said.
“They’ve dropped from Champions or Europa League. They are among them. They are a good squad.”

"If we want to get through this round we need to play the best we can."
