José Mourinho has given an interesting explanation for Roma’s poor away form, attributing it to his players’ predilection for home cooking.
The Roma coach made a strange assessment of his side’s away form this season, who have recorded just one win. Ahead of Sunday’s match against Udinese, Mourinho told reporters he expected more from his players.
“I’m not sure the team gave less than they could give”Mourinho said, “ but we must give more. With these fans and this club, we must not put limits on ourselves, we must always give more. We have had bad results and poor performances, yes, but never a lack of professionalism and respect for people. We have to give something more.
“At home we usually succeed, even in the last minutes, but away we lack mentality. I always preferred the antagonism of the away game. There are people here who prefer the comfort of home: when they go out, they miss their mother, their father, their grandmother cooking. »
