Rome, Oct. 13 (LaPresse) – “There is no question of us being enemies, but we will be opponents for 90 minutes. Before the match, if people want to give me a special greeting, I am also ready to embrace the Roma fans. We’ll see what happens. I will certainly try to keep my emotions under control, although I might not succeed. But ultimately, for those 90 minutes, they want to win and so do I.” Real Madrid coach José Mourinho told Sky Sport on the eve of the Champions League match against Roma. “We are prepared for the basic principles with which Roma have played these matches. They may also try something different. They know that the team in white is not exactly an easy opponent. We are also prepared to react to something different, but the most important thing is what we want to do,” the Special One added. “Gasperini? I have respect for an important coach in Italian football who has been doing important work for years.”
