Mourinho discussed the importance of team dynamics, noting, “Systems? I speak more in terms of the team. They didn’t have players at the World Cup and you can see how they work as a team; they have been together for a long time. When it comes to pressing the way I like to press, we are still lacking a few miles.” He added, “A frustrated bench does not help at all; today ours did help us.”
In a notable comment, Mourinho defended Vinicius, saying, “Vini is not a saint, but what they do is too much. Everything already has a pattern: now I hit him, then you hit him, then me again. One gets booked, then you hit him, and then another one comes on without a yellow. We are in a social era of ‘anti-bullying’, but with Vini we are still in bullying, whether from opponents or from the crowd. We have to prepare him as much as possible.”
He also revealed his initial doubts about starting Vinicius, stating, “I had doubts about starting him, but he is very strong physically and mentally.”
