A moment that is worth watching.
In the midst of so many basic questions that are asked to Josรฉ Mourinho (and most coaches) on a weekly basis, the journalist of a smaller media outlet [Bola na Rede] asked the following question:
"Mr, you already highlighted your game plan of attracting Napoli's pressure to then be able to explore the space in behind, I wanted to ask you about the build-up. What was the importance of Barrenechea [CDM] dropping wide and playing facing towards the opposition, and then Aursnes moving wide in the other side? How important was that in the build-up?"
Mourinho: "You know your football. Well done, you know your football... Maybe they'll get you to substitute one of the other 'know it alls' that don't actually know anything. Great question."
"Our CDM's wide positioning caused them trouble because they only had 2 midfielders, Elmas and McTominay, so if they pressed we would have more space in the middle, and if they didn't press, Enzo would have time on the ball."
