Mourinho: “At least now no one will blame me for not helping Lukaku score”

Roma entered the “Olimpico” on Sunday evening with 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats in the first six games of the league, but against Frosinone they were focused and determined and did not let the victory slip away to win 2-0 and climbs to 12th place in the table.

Romelu Lukaku’s 21st-minute goal that opened the way for the Giallorossi to a treble took the Belgian striker to 60 goals in Italy’s top flight and Jose Mourinho praised him for finding the opportunity to launch an attack on his critics .

“Tonight my players were a team, against a well-organized team with quality players who have performed well so far.”

Romelu will continue to score wherever he goes, he finds his way to the net. That’s a good thing too, because if he had stopped scoring goals I would have been blamed for it too.

Luckily Lukaku is Lukaku, he can score points here at Roma, but also at Manchester United or Inter. I’m not someone who destroys the quality of players.”emphasized the Portuguese first, and then spoke about the dispute that exists against him.

“Three months ago everyone loved me and was afraid I wouldn’t go. Now, three months later, at a time when we are not doing well, the problem is me. I believe in my players because we are very united and I am happy that we won the game.

It wasn’t easy to react like this after the last defeat (1-4 at home against Genoa), but I would like to thank our fans who have not stopped supporting us.”
