Mourinho: ‘I want 67,000 fans players with Feyenoord, last minute decision on Dybala’

A 1-0 defeat in Rotterdam made Roma’s task harder on their way to the Europa League semi-finals, but the return comes at the ‘Olimpico’ which is their firepower this season and that fact gives Jose Mourinho confidence in the upset seize against Feyenoord.

Something he made clear in Wednesday’s press conference, with the special sending a clear message to Giallorossi fans ahead of his team’s all-important game: “We’re calm, it’s a nice game for someone to give.

In the first race there is a negative result, but the qualification is open. There is a field ready to play with us.

I want 67,000 fan players on our site“, the Portuguese underlined in his explanations, to add: “I’ve been in Trigoria for two days, I went out on Monday to visit a friend, then I came back and never went out again.

I haven’t felt what’s happening outside of Trigoria. I’m calm, but it’s an odd calm that doesn’t feel real 24 hours before a game like this.

I expect a lot from my team. Either we win and move on, or we go home tired and sad knowing we gave it our all on the pitch.”

As for the big question mark next to Paulo Dybala as the Argentine was injured in the first leg and is extremely doubtful for the second leg (from Sunday’s league game against Udinese, unlike Abraham who played 15 minutes and put his injury problem behind him), said he :

“I don’t know, so far he’s been training at a low intensity. Only on Thursday morning will we know if he can play, if he’ll be on the bench, if he’ll be a starter or if he is.” will not be available.”
