Mourinho pushes Juventus
Then asked about the rest of the Europa League and the renaissance of Italian football, the eccentric Portuguese technician sent a errant ball to Juventus. Not without forgetting that Italy still has many representatives in various European competitions.
“There are three Italian teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They are the most represented country. And Juventus and we are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. But in my opinion, Juventus shouldn’t be able to. Play the Europa League, drop Jose Mourinho. I could be wrong, but “I think when you’re eliminated from a competition, you’re eliminated. But we’re there with Juventus. Fiorentina are the big favorites in the Conference League. And that’s great.”
