Mourinho hugs Chivu after the match: words about the Inter coach

At the microphones of Sky Sport, José Mourinho commented on Real Madrid‘s victory against Inter. The coach of the Blancos emphasized the value of the three points earned against a high-level team, describing the match as spectacular for the spectators but stressful for those on the bench.

“A crazy match, it could have been 5-0, 5-5, 7-6,” declared Mourinho. “There were so many goal chances, they are strong and it was difficult for us to close down in a low block: but every one of our counterattacks could have been a goal and we could have finished the first half 3-0. But Inter could have scored too.”

A special mention was dedicated to Chivu. “I hugged him before and after, I know what he feels for me and what I feel for him: during the 90 minutes you forget everything, now if we can see each other of course we’ll talk,” said the Portuguese coach, highlighting the bond that unites them off the field.

About Mbappé, scorer of the decisive goal, the coach expressed confidence: “He worked a lot and scored a very important goal: I’m not worried because he will always do more and will still be the top scorer of the Champions.” Finally, a look at the next match against Roma: “Last year there was Chelsea and another former team: I can’t hide that I’m returning to Rome for the first time. I’ll be emotional like today but before and after, not during.”
