Mourinho criticized his players for their attitude toward certain matches

In the fifth round match of the Europa League group stage, Roma couldn't secure a win against Switzerland's Servette in an away game, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Following the game, Roma's coach Jose Mourinho criticized the attitude of his team's players.

'I won't dramatize the fact that we're second in the Europa League group. What I find dramatic is that some players missed an opportunity playing with such an attitude.

I truly don't understand this. I've had 150 matches in the Champions League, which are much more important than this one, yet my motivation for such games is extreme. It seems that some individuals lacking significant experience in European cups play these matches somewhat nonchalantly.

Cristante is a true example to follow; he plays with maximum concentration and takes nothing lightly. Paredes had another excellent match, orchestrating our game when we had possession. He's a world champion and doesn't treat these games lightly either. But there are people who feel comfortable being nonchalant, and you can see where it leads.

Guardiola can make people pay for such an attitude. If someone doesn't fit his mold, he says "goodbye" and brings in another, no problem. We don't have that option here. There's a coach who must continue working day by day, trying to get the maximum benefit from the players he has,' - stated the Portuguese specialist.

It's worth noting that Roma's next match will be away against Sassuolo on Sunday.
